guys,.
don't tell the elders, buuuuut, i sorta kinda maybe never contributed money....ever..... i always thought - hey, i give a lot of my time and energy to the org, so that's how i contribute.
i was also pretty stinkin poor for most of my life and didn't really have the money to give.. anyone else like me?.
A hundred bucks a month, mostly going into local expenses.
i loved our local cong, and miss the people very much. feel bad to have abandoned them especially when some reached out unhypocritically to keep connections going. But I just had to move on with my life. Wish they could be free too.
current u.s. federal judge is one of jehovah's witnesses - see more at: http://www.jw-archive.org/post/114109639783/current-u-s-federal-judge-is-one-of-jehovahs#sthash.pz6qywnk.dpuf.
Witnesses judge every day, they are the most judgmental people in town!
Ironically, my mother says she can't serve on a jury because it would hurt her conscience to judge another person.

Yeah, and never change your mind and decide you should not have joined, because if you do change your mind, you will lose all your family and anyone you have ever been allowed to associate with.
Wow what a loving 'arrangement' that would be!!! Should we write that as a warning when people register here?? Or just catch them unawares?
oh, wait.., we're not a cult.

Yes do come back in a couple of years. Even if it's to tell us you are as strong a witness as ever. Good luck in life, I mean erm, may it go well with you.
hi im a 14 year old former catholic trying to find a religion and or faith my parents will drop me off at a service they support me no matter what i was wondering if anyone can prove to me their is a god cause right now im confused!
Don't go to jw's, that's for sure. Don't worry about hełł either.
I found God in the New Testament book of John, but please take your time. You shouldn't feel anxiety about this. You have all the time in the world, and if you decide you don't know what to believe in, that's ok too. You are very blessed to have such supportive parents!! Relish that. Very few of us were in that situation.
am i alone in this feeling?
i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".
i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.
Keep working on your husband. And be patient. If you still love him.
Yep, some days of faking it are much worse than others. I'm sorry you are going through this now. I remember it. It's hell!!
i seldom hear of people getting df'd anymore.
years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.
hey people, .
i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.
i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.
