I am leaving the JW's . I am alone and scared. Advice and help needed please

by scared and lonely in

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.

hey S&L seeing you are in the UK perhaps we could meet up, I live in London, I'll give you your cash personally! let me know the time

Why are you doing that?

it took a lot of courage for me to visit this forum. After having it drummed into me for years about Avoiding apostasy to finally visit and post on a forum like this is a big deal.

I made a terrible error in my early post and I couldn't be more sorry and I put it right but your comments as well as the other sarcastic ones from other members are not helping.

Things are bad enough for me without comments from people like you who are supposed to be on my side.

I had a feeling this was a troll by the daft username, by the way Scared and Lonely I am very rich as I won the national lottery twice in successive months, the first win was £10 million and the last win was only £5 million so hopefully I might win it again soon, if you would some cash name the amount and I'd be only too pleased to wire it to you, will £1million be okay?

Is there really any need for that reply?

Perhaps my username is daft but it expresses how I feel on such a life changing situation. I AM scared. I AM lonely.

if you took the time to read my replies you can see how apologetic I was and what I'm trying to do with my life.

Things are hard enough as it is without reading sarcastic comments like that.

I have been told to 'grow a pair' more than once on this forum. It seems that life on the outside is going to be as hard as I thought it would be with attitudes like yours.

I really don't need unhelpful comments like that especially from people who are meant to be on my side.

I'm reading through the replies and am so grateful for the practical advice and support. It's just after 11pm here in UK and I have a 5 am start so will reply in full tomorrow once I've finished work.

thank you for giving me perspective. I appreciate it

People here are more than willing to extend sympathy and practical advice, but surely you realize how squiggy it looks if you ask for money on your 2nd post?

Yes I do. It was a huge mistake and I regretted it instantly and corrected it. (in fairness it was to share a link not specifically asking for money on this forum , but a stupid thing to do nonetheless.)

The constructive advice and kindness is much more valuable to me and I have expressed gratitude to everybody who has given me great advice,

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.
