How much did you give to the WTS? (page 2)

I gave nothing, but I stole plenty.... from the box near the door. I had to finance my running away somehow....

Well, I didn't give much when I was in. I did give some when I had it to give. I did plenty for the congregation as well as the requisite vehicles, time, clothes, food, etc.

Last time I was at the hall with my wife, she wrote a check for $100. I didn't really say anything, but it's no secret that I think it's a collosal waste of money, but hey...she makes her own money with her career, so who am I to tell her how to spend it. She indulges my hobby of racing, so if she feels guilty and wants to give away her hard earned money...I guess that's her choice.

Though I didn't give the Watch Tower much money, I still wasted 30 years of my time.

maybee a total of $100 over the past 15 years. But those 15 years count for alot as well.

Financially, I actually budgeted in my giving on a monthly basis. Usually around $30/month whether I could afford it or not.
Plus checks to cover CO visit expenses. Plus the occasional cheque to make up the deficit in the accounts.
Plus field service gas money and use of my vehicle. And time of course. Emotionally, I gave til I ran out.

Now I give to other causes here and there, as I can afford it and am motivated,
and can't help but think that "the society" would hate that. hehe

I pioneered full time and was skint. Life was hard. I remember thinking the new system was the only way out, so didn't bother doing anything to improve my lot in life.

I was completely at the mercy of "the truth" until I got disfellowshipped. And then one day I decided to start college, oh I also bought a house.

Hmmm, strange how I'm being blessed for leaving "the truth" behind. I actually know what it is to have money in your pocket and plan for retirement.

But in answer to your question I never gave much except pay for all the literature, because I couldn't... because of what they'd made me.
