Getting kicked out. (page 2)

Some good advice here -- discuss with your parents what your options are, check out homeless shelters, find out whether there are services for people your age in your area. If you are a minor, find out whether there are child protective services that might help you. Breathe, keep calm, do your research.

And they wonder why we're "such bitter apostates"! Shit like this makes my blood boil.

He is a minor or his parents would not be responsible for him.

Apply to UBC if you are in Vancouver, or any college and live in

the dorms on help from your parents, grants, work-study, and

loans, immerse yourself in a different world of exploration, whether

it be the sciences or the arts or any field that interests you, just

devote yourself full time, into another kind of community. All of this

will fall away from you as you see the whole universe from a different

perspective and work on developing yout gifts. Its your only hope.

Don't let the WT cause you to bury your "talents" in the ground.

Thats what they do best, annihilate postive growth. Call university

housing, go for an interview, get information on campus housing,

pack your bags and go.

Bobert you must tell us how old are you, that makes

a big difference.

A situation in our family and I'm sure in many families today,

adults living at home with their parents.

My nephew by marriage (he married my niece) called me

the other day and ask me to talk to my niece son. They have

been married for 4 years and my niece son have been living with

them fro 4 years. My great nephew is 27 years old and have a

two year old son. You get the picture..

I know it's difficult out there when you have limited funds, but tell

you folks you need time to save money...

HOW MANY TIME WAS HE ASKED HIS AGE?

DID HE EVER SAY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

This doesn't jive with his previous post where he was already planning to move out.

What the. . . . .?

People who think they "need time to save money" end up working

for ten to twenty years trying to save money, because without

education you cannot find work that will pay any more than hand to mouth

wages. If you are young, between 17- 23 - get into a college, get into

campus housing. In California community colleges are practically free,

get grants , get loans, but don;t put it off, you will get stuck if you do.

Single, young people of average intelligence can do this.

Great advice!

Even if you're over 23. Then esp good advice to get your butt outta the house.

Are you old enough to enlist in the military?

My only regret in life is that I did not join the military when I was young. I came close after high school graduation, but I was in to deep in the organization.

On top of having all of life's necessities provided, you can learn skills and trades marketable in the private sector. On top of it all it sends a powerful message to Jehovah's Witnesses.

Are you an adult? If you're a minor you should seek legal advice. If you're not causing problems I'm sure they cannot kick you out just because you don't want to follow their religion. Remember you have freedom to choose your religion. It's a basic human right.

Good advise right there

They cant legally kick you out if your a minor under the age of 19 I believe. I'm a Canadian living in Vancouver

Talk to a social worker in your community about your situation noting that most of the push is coming from the fact that your not willing to be involved with your parents/guardian's religion.

Gather up information as much as you can for your own piece of mind and to enlighten your parents to their own legal responsibility.

Keep your behavior clean, no drugs, smoking, sexual misconduct . etc.

This is going to play in your favor in many ways now and into the future.

Its easy to be go off on a rebellious tangent your age most teenagers do.
