    Hey I’m back I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on the form but a lot things have been happening so I haven’t had much time to post.

    Ive been 14 for awhile now makes me happy because I’m getting closer to being able to get a job and work my way out of this.

    I have meetings on Saturdays now which is horrible because I rather have it on sunday because it’s already a sad day because I got to go to school the next day.Three of our public talks have had different brothers saying the same thing talking about the signs of the end days.The thing that gets me is when they always try and bank on the earthquake part I mean I’m really into science so I already knew a lot about plate tectonics sea floor spreading etc but you get taught this in school.With plates always moving divergent convergent transform etc there will be earthquakes it’s the effect of plates moving against or rubing on each or going back into the mantle(subduction zones) it happens.So when there’s a report in Japan of a lot of earthquakes it must be the end times!NO Japan is located on four plates it’s going to experience big earthquakes.

    I don’t know that just gets under my skins when they try and say it’s the end days because of the earth having natural things happen like plate tectonics is something that’s been happening recently no we might have gotten our hands on the technology to spot earthquakes recently but this has been happening for MILLIONS OF YEARS.

    Speaking of Years I hope you all have a great 2019 and I’ll definitely post more of my thoughts this year.

    And yeah, meetings are circular, no news but fake news etc.

    Hi Akid, I hope your knowledge about TTATT increases in 2019 and that your exit is as painless as it should be.

    Your knowledge of plate tectonics puts those ignorant old men who run that cult to shame. Their knowledge is two thousand years out of date.

    Happy New Year, roll on the time you can start your own independent life!

    JWFacts has a good write up on earthquakes & the Society's flip flops and downright deceit on this subject.

    You have just pointed out the result of the JW's having the least education, at least here in the USA, of any other major religion.

    If you have ever visited the Amish you will see a group that takes pride in limiting school to an eight grade education.

    So one day I am with a friend and we are driving through an Amish area in Pennsylvania and I see an Amish guy with his arm up a horse's ass. I ask my friend 'what's that about' and he replied 'Oh that's an Amish mechanic!'

    Those speakers you were talking about re earthquakes reminded me about how a JW is far more willing to sound like a fool or the village idiot then a 'normal' person is.

    Let's get real........ the Society writes out those talks....... no independent thinking is necessary.

    Good to hear from you again! Hapoy new year! I might be in the minority here with this, but my sons are almost two years younger than yourself, and it would break my heart if I thought they were planning to leave me (actually I think it will probably take one of your earthquakes to shift them LoL).

    So....is there any chance that in a year or so you could have THAT conversation with your mum? Explain (assuming youre not baptised)you dont want to continue attending meetings dont brlieve in God and make a pact not to discuss "spiritual"things with each other in order to maintain your relationship ? Any chance at all?

    I just hate the idea of that religion depriving another family group of each other!!!

    Only you know whether its worth the risk. After all, you could say, if shes right she doesnt have much time left with you, so surely she should make the most of it, rather than being estranged from you?!!

    By the way, im extremely imoressed with your geography knowledge!I have to nag my sons to do their homework and regularly test them on various subjects, including geography, which is fascinating.

    One thing JWs do for their awake kids , ironically, is give them a real appreciation of education, which my kids take for granted!

    A 14 year old kid seeing through this bullshit makes me so happy. Keep growing Akid, you can do this and you can get out of the situation and have a happy life. You have so much ahead of you. Happy 2019!
