  How much money people usually donate to WT ?

  by Bardamu in

  i grew up in the org and never got baptised, however i was wondering recently about how much money my family and old friends are wasting in all that.

  .

  i remember of course never talking in amounts, that it was important to give from what you can not what you have etc but i admit i have no clue how much the average witness gives (say in % of their income).. i'm sure it varies greatly, i'd love to hear what you guys have to say..

  i was dismayed when my old dad told me he had donated £5000 to the local congregation for a hall purchase. that was my future inheritance going up in smoke.

  he also donated £100 a month.

  that hall was subsequently sold.

  i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

  i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

  i've already found several by reading older posts..

  hi all - perhaps a brief intro from me would be appropriate..... i hail from essex, england.

  a 2nd generation witness never knowing any other life and from a large and mostly devout family.

  i was disfellowshipped in 1993 aged 21 and the worldly girl i met, got pregnant and married (in that order) is mother to my 3 grown children and grandmother to our beautiful baby granddaughter.

  The popularity fad of home-schooling!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know this has been discussed over the years on this forum, but i just had to post this again!.

  it seems that the popular fad amongst the "spiritual" ones in the local circuits is to home school their children instead of sending them to school.. now to clarify, we are in a very nice area of semi rural australia .

  one with very community minded, and strong family values.

  And then it hit me: we were abused

  by Anders Andersen in

  from a psychcentral (run by mental health professionals): a familiar item on a list of 7 types of parental abuse :.

  spiritual abuse.

  has the child experienced:dichotomous thinking – dividing people into two parts: those who agree with the parent and those who don’t.

  being dragged to meetings--especially mid-week with school next morning.

  forced to sit quietly for 2 hours through a meeting--worse at an assembly.

  being kept out of school assembly--subject to ridicule by other kids

  taken out door knocking--???!!!

  no birthdays

  no xmas

  no blood transfusions

  being taught about evil spirits---demunz---

  being taught about armageddon--an day now--all that death and suffering.

  sweet dreams kids--sleep well.

  I think the CO just knocked on my door.

  i can't be too sure, because i didn't answer, but my mother had called me this morning and said this week is our co visit.. it's been a while since i last had elders at my door.

  last time that happened, i posted about it, so it was only a few months.. i really don't want to talk with them.

  is there a chance i'll be announced as "no longer one of..." after he's left if i don't?.
