My parents just don't understand why I don't want to be part of the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. It's not that I don't believe Jesus' teachings, but I believe that the Society has taken it too far. They read too deep into God's words, that they end up putting training wheels on everyone. What's wrong with training wheels? These training wheels have permanent locks on them, preventing anyone from having a self-guided opinion. My parents believe that if I don't feel like going to the meetings, then I shouldn't have the privelage of having friends over, leaving the house (except for school and work), and some other such "privelages". I wish that Democracy ran in the household also, rather than a dictatorship. Ticks me off. So, now, I go to the meetings, conventions, assemblies, etc., and they pretend everything is fine. In our "congregation", everyone talks about our family and another family. Both are ridden with hardships. The congregation thinks something is going on between the teenage girl of the other family and myself (a sixteen year old guy). My parents don't believe what I tell them (about the rumours and stuff about us), and I guess they don't care. I just don't want to be around that stuff. I'd really rather not be around my family either, but that's one thing I cannot control right now. Has anyone else gone through this? If so, what did you do about it?
