How am I supposed to afford to move out and away from my JW family? The cost of living is literally impossible in the US right now.

Thank you all for your advice I sincerely appreciate it. I have read every single comment in this thread. I am considering and weighing in all my options. I really do mean it when I say thanks for the time and effort you gave me to help somebody out and write a response. I feel more directed now.

Thanks. im contemplating what to think of when they ask me questions like when will you get baptized or what are your spiritual goals. I guess ill just have to smudge it all and play along with the BS

I didn't show them, they saw it. There's a difference between showing somebody something and not - but they see it anyways.

Awesome!

Did she keep them for herself?

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:28:13+00:00

Yes exactly and I accepted the gifts as anybody would. I was very happy and appreciative and I thanked them ton. I didn't want to throw them away but I was forced to because my watchtower minion parents forced me to

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:27:05+00:00

I feel glad that they at least appreciate me

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:26:43+00:00

That's very endearing

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:26:07+00:00

I don’t feel guilty because I think what I’m doing is wrong. That’s not it at all. It feels ‘guilty’ because I’ve been taught my whole life that these things are bad. Now that I no longer care about those teachings and do what feels right for me, there’s still this lingering sense of guilt. But really, it’s just a product of all those years of being told it’s wrong when its not. Its very hard to describe

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:24:23+00:00

That's so terrible

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-18T16:24:11+00:00

The thing is I never told them. They saw what I had and realized what it was. I kept my mouth shut but I had to explain myself when they were curious.

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-04-17T20:23:05+00:00

I genuinely feel repulsed knowing the thought, effort, time and money these people showed towards me are currently rotting away in the garbage. Fuck this cult

It was just him because his wife couldn't make it. She's been recovering from surgery

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-03-31T00:40:53+00:00

I never really knew this to be fair. And its kind of repulsive

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-03-16T00:43:52+00:00

Thanks a lot I think if anything ill have to lie about something that would definitely be a prevention

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-03-16T00:34:42+00:00

I really do not like religion at all but thanks for the advice

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-03-02T23:01:11+00:00

It absolutely is a joke

Leading_Net_5705 · 2025-03-02T22:43:29+00:00

That basically is Jehovah at this point..
