well i talked to the counselor she doesnt really understand how bad the situation is shes not really intitled to take my whole side of the issue but she does agree about me thinking for myself and making this decision on my own she told me that i should try and talk to my parents which i will soon maybe sometime this weekend she wants me to tell her how it goes so her talkin to me doesnt really change anything but it has made me more confident and she also gave me a new question that i had never thought of If this is the truth why would information from outside the society be of harm . . . if it was the truth there would be no way to invalidate the society or its publications.

ya im definately taking this as quickly as i can lol my family is trying to take me back they know ive started thinking for myself it scares them and i understand why its because they dont know any better im not going to try and reason with them because i know thier influenced defenses will fly up and there will be conflicts between me and my family so im just going to try less as possible to talk to them about it but im definately going to tell them im leaveing first tomorrow and then the elders you guys have basically approved that i know enough to leave its funny it only took me like a week or 2 but i would really like it if Steve (jst2laws) would post up that legal information on everything because thats the one thing im not ready for
little toe i know the psycholgical impact of shunning will be bad lol my parents and i were never really close i think it basically had to do with the submissiveness and the way that the society makes it so u dont really express yourself like normal people im hoping this will change all that because ill be able to tell them everything

yeah the society is a bunch of psychological screwing with bullshit thats what ive learned it took me a week to break the fear of leaveing they pushed into me without my knowledge but yes an independant mind is the first thing you need if you are trying to get someone to change try to get them to think for themselves first

im not going to talk to them today but im not going to go to the meeting im going to talk to a school counselor tomorrow i mean thats what they are there for is to make you feel better anyway after that im gonna talk to them about it tomorrow my whole family is in this its horrible my grandma asked me are you going to the meeting tonight (tuesday) and when i said im not sure she was all like WHAT DO U MEAN UR NOT SURE YOU HAVE TOO!!!! and then she was liek theres nothing out there blah blah blah you might as well kill yourself
that made me feel bad but it made me see the extent that the "truth" had on thier minds im not moving out im really afraid they are going to kick me out i really wanna stay
i would try and stay in and help out other people to start asking questions but i cant take it anymore
i need alot of encouragement i mean the witnesses empart conformity lack of courage they cant have you being courageous or it would conflict with the grip they have on you i was raised with this luckily i have lots of "bad association" (true friends) they havent talked to me about religion but they have shown me that thier lives are filled with something other than emptiness ive lied and lied to hang out with them without my parents knowing i got far away enough from the society to look at apostate literature the one thing that first did it for me was acknowledgeing that they were a cult i read this page well basically just the summary did it for me http://www.xjw.com/whatcult.html i read it and saw that almost all the points in it were right about the witnesses and this book wasnt even directed twoards the witnesses it was directed twoards the moonies anyway my parents are going to hate it they know that i am questioning the witnesses because i told my mom i dont believe this is the truth anyway they are trying to get me to change my mind but nothing will now im gone and im gonna let em know it tomorrow whenever i read like a couple pages in the Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses website i knew it that this is wrong and that im right and my parents are wrong i knew they were going to try and force it back on me right then but im convinced this is wrong and im getting out as fast as possible its like a giant wieght was lifted off me i felt free the religious freedom i had never felt that this wasnt the only right thing that its not right that there is everything out there and ive been dabbling in darkness from it
IM FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im going to tell my parents tomorrow after i talk to my school counselor and then im going straight to an elders house and im going to tell him that im leaving im only going to start talking about how much its wrong how much lies there are how much coruption how much brainwashing how they lure u in and make you never want to leave if they ask me but if they dont then i dont care if they know or not i know that even if i do tell them the societies grip on them will tighten thier hearts twoards me
wish me luck for tomorrow i hope i can be courageous its a big step for me from the conformity the society has rasied me in
