i dont think ill be able to leave the organization,you see i have no close friends in or outside the jws and my entire family is part of the cult,if i leave my mom and the rest of my family will be heartbroken and i dont want to be the reason they are hurt.
im not particularly close to any of my family members but i still care for them.
i could really use some advice because i have no one else to turn too..
I don't know how old you are; I'm assuming you're a teenager by your name.
If you're so inclined, get an education in something you really like. Your education will work well with a fade since it will take up most of your time. Your mother might not like it but at least she won't feel like you've gone apostate.
Such an education will put you in a position to make friends that share your interests.
arctic has gained hundreds of miles of ice the last three years.

now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.
like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.
that was the reason we were at their door.

redvip2000:
Global warming is obviously real, but there really is no evidence that is caused by humans.
Humans have increased the Carbon Dioxide levels by over 30% since 1960. That has an inevitable impact on our warmth. It's the greenhouse gases.
I think sometimes we fail to realize that the earth is not static - it too evolves, and goes through difference cyclical stages. There is evidence to suggest that the planet goes though colder and warmer periods, and it could well be that we are going through a warmer period.
It is irrelevant that the Earth goes through colder or warmer periods naturally. We have increased the CO2 levels and that is what's having the impact. There is nothing in nature that's causing the increase.
When the ice ages ended we went from a cold period to a warm period which should have stayed at that but now we're going from a warm period into a hot period due to fossil fuel burning.

Does this look familiar?

Autumnation4414, just to prevent any confusion that record was with reference to the winter extent. The summer extent, which is not yet finished, is likely to be in third place out of 35 years. There's no way summer ice is going to go back to 1980, 1990 or even 2000 levels.
The extent graph below shows this year in black.

Perry where did you get that graphic? May We see its context please?
He got it from Steven Goddards site which is typical of all 'skeptic' sites in that they ignore the big picture (35 years of satellite data for the Arctic Sea ice) and keep shuffling the recent past.
As for the quote box saying that the Arctic has gained "thick multi-year ice" that is an atrocious lie. This year has seen the near disappearance of ice thicker than 15 feet.
As you can compare the ice thickness charts below for 2012/09/08 and 2015/09 there's a greater area of thinner ice for this year compared to the great melt (In area only) of 2012. Measurements are in meters (3.28 feet per meter).

2012 was the year with the most melt. We are currently in fourth minimum place in the last 35 years. It's compared to 1980 that the Arctic has lost 70% of it's volume. It's half as thick now as it was 35 years ago and it's not getting any thicker.
It's the big picture that counts not a period of time of only 3 or 4 years. This video explains it:
