I think the analogy for staying on is perhaps "good money after bad"

Another possible explanation for why older JW converts won't leave....
by besty in"dollar auction' theory - it goes like this.... .
the setup involves an auctioneer who volunteers to auction off a dollar bill with the following rule: the dollar goes to the highest bidder, who pays the amount he bids.
the second-highest bidder also must pay the highest amount that he bid, but gets nothing in return.. .

Hm. I guess I can understand it for a passport but for a voluntary judicial appointment?

Interesting. No involvement in the state but swearing an oath to the head of state and sitting in judgement is ok lol

“I, _________ , do swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors, according to law. ”
Judicial oath
“I, _________ , do swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second in the office of ________ , and I will do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this realm, without fear or favour, affection or ill will. "

Just a short observation on my Bible study.
by outlander ini thought it would be fun to say yes to a weekly bible study just to see how far i could go in undermining the j.w.
beliefs, also to be honest i thought it would make a family member happy.
so i slowly and methodically refuted and questioned all the nutty things that my study teacher, or whatever he's called, tried to throw at me over a period of about 4 months.

What is the point of simply studying the Bible with the guy if you have established to your own satisfaction that his religion is not correct? Unless of course you know more about it than he does and are looking to prove him wrong and yourself right? I am a bit unclear about your motive, what is it? Are you a 'believer' of some description?
Personally, if it is purely an academic interest I'd find something else to fill my time rather than debating such a ridiculous collection of writings.

Take some time out to mourn her. Don't be self conscious about being upset. It will take longer than you might think to feel ok again so don't be worried about it.
