Good for you. Now just stay away from getting baptized.
I remember my mom not allowing me to read any book I wanted from the library when I was a teenager. I used to hide books because I loved to read. Once I got caught with a Cosmopolitan magazine, you'd think I had killed someone, it was that horrible.
Anyways, reading, it will change things!!!!
Welcome Apathy. Damn it's nice to see people figure it out at 11 years instead of 36!

snort- Don't worry, I'm at least as corrupted as the worst of you.
Apathy ... I doubt that. But that's a good thing. You're too young to be corrupt already .... I'd give it 'til 16 at least.
Good luck. The fact that you're thinking for yourself and questioning things is a very good sign.
Gee ... I wish there was an internet when I was 15 , moping my way through field service in my cheap polyester suit, praying that I wouldn't run into some cutie from school. I did once, and almost had a stroke.
Welcome Thy,
I'm glad to see you are a thinking, reasoning, person; that's great. My daughter just turned 20, though, unfortunately, she won't speak to me because I'm no longer apart of her cult.
I'm sure you are a very good person, but please remember that even though you're aware the JW dogma is crap, your mother still deserves your love and respect. (Sorry, this is the father coming out of me.)
Hey! I'm really looking forward to hearing more about you and your life. By the way, I will have a new son in May!
Take care Thy!

Welcome, hopefully this place helps as the congregation slowly realizes you'll never become one of them and stops talking to you. I remember that happened to me and I was so happy as I really didn't want to speak to them anyway.
Enjoy Harry Potter (I'm guessing that's the series you're talking about)

Yup, yup. ^.^
Hey Apathy,
I already met you on another thread, but I had to say I love your writing!

I'm glad you figured it out a 15 years. I took me 52!
Haaaa, but kids really are much smarter these days!

hi apathy,11 years old,and you stuck to your guns,jeez,either its good genetics,or your a perceptive person,either way,awesome,mental freedom is better than physical freedom when it comes to the org,welcome to the site!
Hello and welcome, Thy!
One of my sons (44 years) was here yesterday (brought me some gorgeous flowers for Easter) and we got talking about the fact that we didn't celebrate Easter when he lived at home. He asked me again.....what was the reason we didn't? I don't HAVE a real reason!
He then got into the fact that he didn't believe anything about any Paradise Earth or the fact that ONLY JWs have God's favor. He said even before he was a teen, that it was hogwash and that he knew that if he told me how he felt, I would have been hurt and upset.
I'll have to tell him about your post! (He doesn't have a computer---says it will take up too much time! ) It makes me wonder just how many JW kids are coming to this conclusion (that its all crap) and just keeping quiet.
hugs,
Annie
