I know you are trying to help but you haven't read my posts and seen what situation I am in or how far down the road I am with the elders.

In answer to your questions:

I live with my parents. I pioneered for years.

I work for a brother cleaning offices.

No home. No savings and I will have no job. Hence my panic.

Just to let everybody know that i couldn't edit the link on this thread so I deleted the go fund page.

I am genuinely sorry for causing people to be suspicious. Not a very good start for me on this forum.

Please read my other posts in this thread.

I promise it is not a scam and I want the link removed. I am genuinely sorry.

To answer your points:

1. If I get disassociated or disfellowshipped I will be told to leave the house ...legal or not.

2. As I have said, my situation is too far down the road just to sit and fade. (I wish I had come here sooner)

3. Yes I am an adult however even adults get scared. . I can't face staying in my home town. I will have to move away to a place where nobody knows me. For the first time in my life I will not have a network of friends or family, Being scared does not make me immature.

Other than that, I understand your concern and am trying to remove the link.

HI tornintwo

That is good advice.

They were kind at first but their attitude is becoming more exasperated and irritated now.

I am so low that I can't them for any more meetings with them at the moment.

I am frantically reading all the advice I can on this site. It has info that I wish I read months even years ago.

I understand what you are saying.

I should never have posted it, I am genuinely sorry. I feel ashamed now as it was a stupid thing to do.

In my defence it was out of desperation and not anything more sinister than that.

I hope to redeem myself over time.

I don't have any non JW relatives...at least ones that I am close to. My family is like a little JW Dynasty. I am practically related to everybody in the circuit.

Thank you Lisarose and Tornintwo for your lovely advice.

I really appreciate it.

I wish I found this group sooner as I could have done with the support over the past few months. I am quite far down the road now and the elders have gone from 'concerned' to 'annoyed'. I am an irritation to them now and they want it resolved.

This time last year I was the Watchtower study conductor. Things have changed so fast.

Thanks again. I appreciate it so much.

Sorry. I honestly don't mean to offend.

I set up the account but didn't realise that it relied so much on social media so I may as well delete it as I can't put it on my social media page. I thought it would be found on the Gofund site.

I am doing so much reading and research at the moment that it is all very overwhelming and time is not on my side. I literally don't have one acquaintance outside of the congregation and I have never felt so lonely in my life.I will definitely be reading up on the information like you suggest.

I will remove it if it offends people. I value your advice and the last thing I want to do is annoy anybody.

My apologies :(
