I'm 15, and I'm an unbaptized publisher... So I've been what you call "lurking" here for the past few weeks and I have some questions. I hear you guys constantly mentioning TTATT so where can I go to learn more about this (links please)? Also I've already told my mom that I don't believe in the governing body and she is making me do EVEN more! So what can I do? Also if I don't get baptized I can leave without getting shunned right? Also how do I get my parents and everyone out of the cult when their whole minds are like, engraved into it, I mentioned it to my sister a night ago and all she said was "I'm to tired to be doubting Jehovah right now" I was like SERIOUSLY! *.* ya and I'm stressed out and I act like an angel when I'm at the KH.. And even none of my friends don't know for who I really am.... So yeah suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm new here...

At 15 I would advise you to be respectful of your parents
when you become of age then decide what you will do
Until then, try to avoid baptism

well I just googled jw.org to download my watchtowers and what-not.. And I always saw this site : "Jehovah's-witness.net" so yeah.. I just clicked it read some stuff ... And then I kept going back, it was my sinful pleasure LOL. Sorry for my grammar and stuff I can't speak eloquently like most of you adults on here ._. Any help with forums is appreciated too I don't know how to use forums.

Nice to have you. It's tough at your age. I am over twice your age. If there was two things I could tell you it would be this.
1. Don't get baptized. It will lock you into a course that will have you shunned if you leave JWs when you leave home.
2. Study really hard in school! You need to get awesome grades so you can get to college for as little money as possible.
Jwfacts.com is a huge storehouse of info about the religion. You can learn tons there. I wish you the best!

Demokan,
You are 15 and a minor. Living under your parents roof means you need to respect them and honor them. You do not, however, have to feel forced into getting baptized, and I would certainly hold off on anything that direction. You may however be asked to continue to go to meetings, and that is probably something you will need to do with your family. I would say you need to relax, do your research, and ask your parents questions in order to get them to think for themselves.
Try to remember them, and relax a little. You are very young and there is alot fo time left for you to decide a plethora of things.
