I never gave much because I figured they didn't do refunds.

I have no clear recollection of putting anything in the collectios box during the nearlt 20 years I was associated.
In the beginning, of course, I was just a kid.
Later, when I started earning money on a newspaper route, shovelling snow, and ultimately getting a "real" part-time job, ALL of whatever I earned was handed over to mom to run the house.
She determined if I got a small allowance from the money I brought in, even after I started pioneeering.
Only after I moved out of her house was my money really mine, and even then she expected a piece of the action while she criticized me for not going to meetings and refusing to read her Watchtower and Awake! magazines.
Eventually I put an end to that, but I shoulda done it sooner.

I was raised in the JW religion, but from age 18 to 38 I probably dropped less than $200 in the contribution box. I figured that the money I spent on gas for FS, hotels for conventions, and 12 years of voluteer work as an elder was enough.
