A Good Escape Plan.
by Daunt ini'm planning on moving out from my jw parents house in about 7 months.
i'm trying to start a job and i already have a little money going into it (bout 2500 dollars little) however, mainly i just wanted to really know if this was the best course of action.
my parents are the usual jw's but i do love them, however, the pressure is just building up from all their jw reasoning and pressure and guilt trips and all that mess.

The most monumental conversation with my mom and dad.
by Daunt inat the meeting today, me and my family were sitting in the back.
i've been heavily emotional lately because of the katrina disaster and my temper and sadness and all emotions have just been on a rise lately.
well my dad was noticing that i was frowning so my father got sort of angry with me and demanded that i stop.

Going to hell... twice.
by Daunt ini just wanted to start this thread to vent out about how i'm being forced to go to the district assembly convention bullcrap twice all 3 days and to get a little advice on how to get out of it.
but mainly it would be interesting to know how other people got out of going to the meetings.
like acting sick, falling down and scraping your knee, different ways you got out of going to it.

The Morality of the Future!
by Daunt ini've been seriously taking a step back lately and criticizing and analyzing my beliefs, especially during meetings since there's nothing better to do.
however, every time i do this i can't help but think of the future.
how do you guys view the general moral bases of the future?

Think of the Children.
by Daunt ini've seen a lot of posts lately about children and their sexuality and this subject has always kind of touched me the wrong way, because it was hard for me to get a definitive answer for it.
the children today hear sexual content many times out of the day.
i was never specifically worried about this since i am one of these young ones and it hasn't made me a raging ignorant sexual deviant anytime lately but it is something to consider.

Hard Headed.
by Daunt insince i've opened up to my parents more about how i really feel and think, i feel that it has become somewhat easier in some areas yet harder in others.
now that i've totally said that i do not believe in their religion and their pressuring me to be a part of it, they have been somewhat afraid to make me too angry at them.
i have stayed out late a few times with friends (not that they know i was with friends) and have come home to nervous grins and standoffish gestures.
