@Heaven: i agree, it does sound like B.S i mean, if i can't see my mom in the "paradise" to me, what is the point of living? just for yourself? honestly, i was born at the right time, my mom was abiut to commit suicide. so i am glad that jah saved my moms life through me...now that i realized this...i have nothing against jehovah, i just have things against the watchtower.their "rules", their way of living. i am not ready to give up my ownership of myself...and honestly, i don't think i will, until something triggers or changes my mind, maybe, but hell, i am only 15, so i rather wait to give it up than now. i rather enjoy my childhood while it lasts. though i wasn't allowed to celebrate holidays, my mom made that a house rule, however, at schools and stuff, she letted me partcipate mostly (all except for halloween), i had "worldly" friends. not many Boyfriends, but whatever, i had a normal childhood, and i knew about jehovah, they worldly kids didn't really affect me, sure i felt pressured to date, but that was pretty much it.
i reccomend teens who are studying to be a JW, have fun BEFORE you become a JW, becuase there is no turning back unless you get DF'd. (though i was never a JW, i was raised in that materal.)
but i agree Heaven, WT uses armageddon and stuff to control people,hmm, i wonder, what if they didn't use armageddon or paradise to control JWs? i think they would live a regular life to be honest. >.>
But my mom already prmosied me to jehovah, so i guess there is a chance i might become a JW i guess, as long as it's when i choose it, then i don't care. or when i am not a tenn, idk tbh.
