Maybe because I live 40 miles from the nearest Kingdom Hall we are blessed with their presence more often. They were here just two weeks ago, and usually come out a couple times a year.

My paychecks were bigger this year and my refund smaller, which is how it should be.
I made more money and ended up paying less in taxes overall 2018 vs 2017. Still ended up paying $25,000 in just Federal Income Taxes though, even with all my deductions for/from AGI (vs almost $30,000 in Federal Income Tax in 2017).
My husband and I are not rich but middle class, so the tax reform did help us.

If everything I do in my private life is up for their scrutiny and judgement - I donāt think anything the GB does is off limits for bringing to peoples attention.
When the GB learns to keep their noses out of peoples personal lives they will deserve the same respect, until then I wish I could hire a PI to follow the GB around and expose every last hypocrital thing they do.

This Forum. Has it changed? For the better or for the worse? Or not a at all?
by ThomasCovenant inwhen i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.
that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.
i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.

Of course the forum changes over time because we change over time. When I first came here I was young, scared, broken, still believing I would be killed for leaving the JWs.
Now Iām in my mid 40ās, career, marriage, life have all carried me along my path. Iām no longer young, scared or broken.
You are supposed to grow and change, challenge beliefs that donāt serve you any longer, adopt new ones as new evidence presents itself. And keep going down your path......

Any organization thatās isnāt financially transparent is a target for financial abuse. There is no accountability so they can spend whatever they want, and make up whatever āexpensesā they see fit.

I volunteered at the animal shelter and habitat for humanity when I was dealing with waking up. I also joined rec league sports - volleyball and softball. I made new friends at both - I got the satisfaction of helping with the volunteer work.

Xmas, love it or leave it??
by DATA-DOG ini have to say that iām not enjoying the xmas season.
i have no emotional ties and iām spending money that i have not set aside for xmas during a slow work season for my trade.. iām not happy about it, because itās foolish to spend money when you arenāt making any.
then i feel like iām expected to do all this, and to be happy about spending money and time on persons that iām not that involved with.

I love it - but the focus isnāt on presents. Most adults in our circle of friends donāt exchange presents. We buy gifts for my great nieces and nephews, send money to my nieces and nephews, but there isnāt any pressure to do so. We do not go into debt. I tell my nieces and nephews to just send us pictures instead of gifts.
I love the tree and having ornaments that have memories attached to them. Christmas parties with silly games and ugly sweaters are also fun.
Sometimes my husband and I exchange presents, but most of the time we buy something bigger for us both, like a trip or furniture or something.
We donāt allow Christmas to become a crazy stressful holiday.
