I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, and I too was always told if we had time for volunteering, our time is best spent in the field service, and any money we had to donate should rightly go to the society, not ‘worldly’ charities.

JW’s and Charity Organizations
by longgone ini was wondering if anyone is aware of the jw’s in general being involved financially and/or as volunteers in charity organizations?
i was a born in jw for 56 years and left in 2016. as far as i remember there was never any encouragement to help in the community in any way.
including soup kitchens, tutoring at schools, united way, etc.

Yes, I hated being the outsider, always looking in, but never allowed to be part of anything at school. One teacher even put a comment on my report card that she thought it would be good for me to join the Girl Scouts. My parents, of course, poo-pooed that suggestion. No Christmas, birthdays, Halloween, Easter, etc. No after school sports, clubs, no school dances, no Prom, nothing. If you say you’re unhappy, they tell you to study the Watchtower more, or go in service more. I HATED going in service.
While I was never sexually molested, I learned about oral and anal sex at the Kingdom Hall, along with what an orgy is. I was 10 or under. This so-called ‘religion’ is harmful on so many levels.

My mom told me when I was a kid, “ Don’t think so much, or you’ll think yourself right out of the truth.” This was because I asked why we sang the song in our songbook, “Fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul”. I said I thought we don’t have souls (according to their teaching). So my conclusion was that we SHOULD fear those who kill our bodies then.

Yes, drop off your key, after all, it’s just busy work to keep them too busy to actually think about their nonsensical teachings.
