30% of all working-aged people become disabled for 5 months or longer sometime in their working lives. Let us assume one out of those ten families going into this idea becomes disabled during the time everyone is doing this.
What would you want done, if that person was you, and you were much further down the list for receiving the money?
What would you prefer doing, if you weren't that person, and already had your house paid off? Would you really think it's no big thing to pay that person's mortgage off after you were done in the investment?
And, I'm not saying you wouldn't pay off that person's mortgage. I'm asking how likely is it that you wouldn't hold a grudge against that person even if you did?
I think this would be nice, at first, but as people start owning their homes, they'll keep coming up with reasons the people further down the list aren't quite as important once their house is paid off. I see this as a good scheme, if you're on top of the list, and a bad scheme if you're on the bottom of the list. Either way, it does struck me as scheming.
I'm more of the type of person who gives money to people, instead of loans it. And I only give what won't hurt, if something went terribly wrong financially, and I remember what I did give. I don't like being indebted to someone else with the concept, "You owe me." I'm too prone to remember the debt when I need the money.
So, nope. Don't see this as a good idea, and don't see it as a way to pay a mortgage off faster.

Troub, don't take this as a scold, or even part of this thread. Just s'plaining how to work this site, so it's easier for you.
When you read someone's post, right under it, it says "Reply" or "Reply with Quotes." If you click "Reply with Quotes," it first includes what the person said. If you go under what is said in the reply box, you can write your reply right there. The beauty of it is you don't have to explain who you're replying to, (like "Reply to Nehemiah 6:"), everyone will know who you're replying to. Plus, you don't have to keep scrolling up and down the entire thread when you forget what the person said. And best part is the person doesn't have to go back to see what he/she said that caused you to reply like that.
Win/win/win.
Oh, oh, oh, while I'm on my helpful-hint frame of mind, another thing people don't get immediately on this site, that is a good thing to get sometimes. Color-coded user names. If someone's user name is blue, that means the person is a guy. If it's pink, she's a gal. And, if it's any other color, feel free to start a post on that one, because none of us have seen any other colors, so it would be fun to see. lol

Reply to depleted:
Well thank you for your honest input. LOL
But believe it or not, we did use a bank. I think the original mortgage was okay, but when we foolishly refinanced a couple of years later we, (I guess) got snagged.
It was informally suggested that we were in trouble. I don't think the Church is awake to the predators around us. I still can't convince my own family of what is going on. The Lord doesn't tell us about being sober to entertain us, but to prevent our hurt.
How we prevent being harmed by (them), is by obeying EVERY WORD GOD SPOKE TO US.
There is a verse (1John 5:18), where the Lord tells us that "We know whosoever is born of God sinneth not, but he that is begotten of him keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."
We, as Christians in America are asleep. We were either put to sleep through sin, or ignorant teaching.
The same people who are controlling the seminaries, are also those involved in making merchandise out of us.
So do yourself a favor, and obey God! Peace!
