i am sorry that on my first post i am asking for help and advice but i am at my wits end.
i have been brought up a witness all my life and it is all i know.
i am an ex-elder and pioneer and i don't know anybody outside of the congregation.. i have been unhappy for so long and wanted to leave.
I don't think that this is the place for me. It was a mistake to come here.
You were an ELDER, but you don't even know how to care for YOURSELF.
Living in your parents' home, doing everything that Mommy and Daddy say.
By what right did you provide counsel to anyone, you man-child?
Move into a homeless shelter operated by a "wicked" Church of Xtiandom, or move under a bridge.
No sympathy for sad-sack castratos here, pal! Return to your VOMIT!

Is that the only constructive advice you have to offer Sparrowdown?
You have no idea what a huge life changing thing this is going to be for me. I will literally have nothing,

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.
