If you’re out and your family is still In, they are going to have to learn to say No to the Witnesses looking for Freebies!.. That is one crucial word to learn. Practice in front of a mirror!! ..But, you gotta say No.
As far as the JWs telling you you’re ‘materialistic’ because you had a decent job - same here.
But, they ALL made a serious error in judgment when they made idiot remarks to me about ‘materialism’ and ‘not pioneering’. I’ll never forget this! ..The consequences are: they DONT get to ask for money from somebody they knocked for having a decent job or working full-time! ..I’m not interested in anybody’s ‘hard-luck stories’.
Let them track down their ‘spiritual’ friends and ask THEM for money.
