  made a big mistake of talking about being raised as a jehovah's witness to some old friends and family.

  people have told me that i am still a jws even though i've never been baptized.

  i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

  Thanks for your reply. Sorry not having kids in my late 30's that shoulda happened in my 20s. I should have been married and had kids in my 20s. My mom had me at 19, and it's good that she started early. Things have really worked out for her but not for me. I'm gonna end up in some serious poverty, I can see it coming. I think it will probably have to do with something medically. I'm not having kids if I don't have support. There's no way that is happening to me. I'm not looking to get married but I was just making the point that should have happened a long time ago. It is what it is.

  If I had a kid at 39, I'd be 60 when my child is 21. I may not even be around by then. I should have had children when I was younger.

  Thanks, but that probably wont work, but thank you for the suggestion, but I'll probably have to be a Jehovahs Witness again. Shoulda made better choices when I was younger.. I'll probably will always disagree with it, but what other choices do I have? I've experienced a lot of rejection, abuse at work, under employment, etc. I believe groups like Jehovahs Witnesses was created for people who have experienced rejection from the world, who can't make it out in the world. I guess I am one of those people.

  Yeah I know about the zoom thing...

  What if I end up getting seriously sick, I'm not married at all, don't have children, and it looks like I wont ever have children because I am too old now. I haven't gotten a lot of help and support from other ex JWs. So what other choice do I have?

  Haven't found a lot of security in the world. Made a big mistake of talking about being raised as a Jehovah's Witness to some old friends and family. People have told me that I am still a JWs even though I've never been baptized. I'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt. I haven't really 'thrived' out in the world. Not married and I don't have any children.

  Yeah, I know it's a scam, most of the people there are crazy and brainwashed, bipolar, insane, sociopaths, but its like what other choice do I have? I'll be 39 next year, I'm getting older and I don't have a lot of choices. I don't like the idea of being back in a cult, but what other support systems do I have? If my family passes away, especially my mom, I've come to realize that I'm not gonna have anybody whose really gonna have my back? The only person I get financial support from is my mother. Yes, she's two-faced, sociopathic, bipolar, but what else has worked for me? She's married and has way more security than me. Its really more of protection thing than anything. I don't have a lot of protection out in the world.

  Even though I no longer believe it in do you guys think I'm crazy for this? At this point I just don't have any other choice.

  I agree. God/ Jehovah never made sense to me even as a kid. They say that Satan has all the power at the moment and Jehovah is allowing him to have all the power but how does that make any sense!? Why and how does any God allow such an evil and deadly thing like Satan to have any power over a situation that the God created to begin with.
