Welcome - to our rebellious community. You are a wise one, it took me until I was 42 to see through it all.
Considered rebellious because I choose to think for myself

Thanks you all! @ Nice_Dream I'm glad I had the chance to make 'worldly' friends as well, they helped me stop hanging on every word that my mother reported from the KH. If I had've stayed more integrated within the WTS than I currently am ( my mom still makes me go to that wretched place, and I'm might be there in body but my spirit's surely not), I think my mental issues would be worse than they already are. My mom hates it when I lay the blame of my social anxiety and depresson on the JWs too and not just on 'worldy' people, because it's partially, actually MOSTLY, the JW's fault too.

LovelyEunie, that's a very moving story.
I just hope you don't leave the JW's and then go get yourself in trouble.
I want to have some type of freedom in my life, I want to be able to experience things I was ever allowed to experience because I was always told it's bad in God's eyes.
It's great to have freedom to choose for yourself but the mistake many young exJWs make is taking that freedom a little bit too far, and thats when you really get into trouble. Have fun with your new found freedom but be careful at the same time.

@MrFreeze I appreciate your concern, and by freedom I only meant celebrating holidays and being my true self (which is bisexual) and not have to be made to feel like the scurge of the earth because I went a minor teaching. I promise I won't do anything reckless, aside from the JW, my mom did pretty good with raising my older sister and me, you don't have to worry~

Yes, I was labelled as 'the rebellious' child. Its funny, though, because I am so similar to "worldly" people & nobody in "the world" would consider me rebellious. I just wanted to be normal. Only in the cult was I considered rebellious. Seriously, if I wanted to sit in on a birthday party, or
Oooooh & AHHhhhh at Christmas lights.....is that REALLY rebellious??

Glad to hear that! A lot of JW's go out and get crazy as a way of getting their yayas off. Have fun!

Eunie, you really are lovely. Don't listen to all that negative JW talk. There's a wonderful world outside the dark, dank, stifling Watchtower hole.
Take your time, explore with your eyes wide open and travel well young friend.

I'm rebellious, in the same way Jesus was towards the religious leaders of his time.
I take great joy in visiting my local kingdom hall and giving the elders a hard time. Speaking to DFed people, not leaving when the song and prayer is finished. Most fun I've had in all my years as a JW.
