I'm with you. When I started thinking I realized how impossible the bible was and that there was zero evidence supporting it. It's a pretty cool story but not anything real behind it.

Rules for congregation changes
by UFCFan infirst of all, this post i made on another thread sums up why i want to change congregations so bad.. "theres the other teenagers at the kingdom hall but it's not like i can tell them anything about how i really feel because they're all brainwashed and they'll tell the elders if i tell them something questionable.
there's a girl i like that goes to my hall but i know i'll never be able to be with her because by the time i'm old enough to date by the watchtower's standards, i'll have moved away.. the worst thing is i can't even fake everything well enough to fit in with the other teens at the hall.
i'm always the outcast and if i talk sometimes the so called 'friends' will straight ignore me, even the ones that say they're my best friends.

I will try making friends outside the congregation.
About talking to the elders though, IDK how that would go because the lead elder is the father of the most popular kid here. Besides, I'm not trying to have to go to the elders for anything just to know if there's a loophole or something in the rule that says you can't change congregation.

Trust me I do want real friends but I'm not allowed to have friends from school. I mean, I can talk with them a bit but not do anythng like go to someone's house or invite them over or go to a non-witness party, etc...

First of all, this post I made on another thread sums up why I want to change congregations so bad.
"Theres the other teenagers at the kingdom hall but it's not like I can tell them anything about how I really feel because they're all brainwashed and they'll tell the elders if I tell them something questionable. There's a girl I like that goes to my hall but I know I'll never be able to be with her because by the time I'm old enough to date by the watchtower's standards, I'll have moved away.
The worst thing is I can't even fake everything well enough to fit in with the other teens at the hall. I'm always the outcast and if I talk sometimes the so called 'friends' will straight ignore me, even the ones that say they're my best friends. And if everyone is standing in a circle and talking they seem to think it's ok to literally push me out the way and take my spot."
That's not the whole post but a lot of the problem and to sum things up quickly I'm fed up of getting ignored by the 'cool kids' at my hall. It got even worse because I used to be really good friends with this boy I know and he used to be the awkward kid without a lot of friends, and since we're so alike we became friends. But then he moved to a different congregation and when he was there he grew up a lot and now when he comes back to our hall he doesn't talk to me, just the cool kids.
Anyway because off all that I want to convince my parents(who are full time dubs) to let me change congregations. I know you're not supposed to but is there a loophole or something? I really want to get out of the congregation I'm in now.

White marine beaten by group of black men using Fergusen case as excuse, media won't say 'black men' though.
by EndofMysteries inthis pisses me off, after all the news agencies that point out that things such as the ferguson shooting were a white man killing a black "kid" (18 years old and if an 18 yr old is accused of commiting a sex crime then suddenly they are a "grown man").
now look at this story from ny times, "a 32-year-old marine was beaten by a group of men outside of a mississippi restaurant after he was warned it wasn't safe for white people in the wake of the michael brown killing in missouri," .
so black on white crime, i guess they can't say "a group of black men", it just has to be a group of men?

What my mother should have done.
by LovelyEunie inthis is somewhat of a rant but every time i think of it it just pisses me off.. .
i never understood why my mom would never switch to another hall or whatever when she knew how i was treated by the people who were supposedly the 'best' association around.
my older sister also, because neither of us really had any jw friends because for whatever reason i guess we were pegged as the baddies because our dad wasn't witness (still isn't) and my mother stayed sick a lot so she wasn't able to do half of whatever was required.. .

I sort of feel the same as you. Unlike you I'm not old enough to live on my own yet so I haven't escaped the borg but I'm always depressed or upset and part of it is from not having real friends. Theres the other teenagers at the kingdom hall but it's not like I can tell them anything about how I really feel because they're all brainwashed and they'll tell the elders if I tell them something questionable. There's a girl I like that goes to my hall but I know I'll never be able to be with her because by the time I'm old enough to date by the watchtower's standards, I'll have moved away.
The worst thing is I can't even fake everything well enough to fit in with the other teens at the hall. I'm always the outcast and if I talk sometimes the so called 'friends' will straight ignore me, even the ones that say they're my best friends. And if everyone is standing in a circle and talking they seem to think it's ok to literally push me out the way and take my spot.
So yeah, this sounds like a rant, but just wanted to tell you you're not alone.

Satan and the demons, ghosts, spirits, fortune tellers. Are they real?
by KateWild ini believe in god.
i don't believe he punishes or rewards people.
so by the same extention i don't believe any spirit beings can communicate with or influence humans.. many who do not believe in god though, have gone to fortune tellers.

I don't believe in all this stuff because there just isn't anything to back it up. Plus I go back and forth between athiesm and diesm and if you don't believe in god it doesn't make sense to believe in spirits, who would be created by him.
