Mimumus why are you still hijacking my thread. Ya think you would have better things to do. After all I'm an "imposter" so why do you still see yourself back on this thread? Douche.

HELP! Trying to convince my parents I am going to meetings!
by stillAwitness ina few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.
up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.
well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.

Finally Free said: "Don't give us that whiny bullshit. Many here were trapped in the cult longer than you've been alive. Many have lost children as well as parents, siblings and friends. Many, because of cult teachings, put their lives on hold because of their beliefs, making it impossible to have a family, and now have nothing to look forward to beyond dying alone, unloved and unmourned. Don't you dare pretend that your suffering outweighs anyone elses." Actually, in no statement of mine did I ever utter "my suffering is so much worse than yours" I am simply relating what I am going through. So please don't put your statements and say they are mine. Oh and my parents are not providing for me financially. My boyfriend and I both work full time to pay our bills and I am covering my own tuition and car insurance. My parents made if I moved out I would be on my own and I would not want it any other way. So for everyone's information-I love my parents and there's no "daddy credit card" sitting in my wallet.

I notice that most of the older ones have seemed to forgotten exactly how hard it is to steer away from this religion especially when its all you've known your whole life. I made the steps to move out on my own and try to find my own identiy but at the same time call me crazy-I love my family and wish not to lose them. Its quite a double standard because there are plenty of husbands and wives who have still not told their mates there true feelings about their "apostate" beliefs and yet when it comes to a young person not revealing their ideas and concerns to their parents suddenly we are "liars" and "deceivers" My generation is just automatically looked at differently.

"Blondie Said : "Aren't you worried what your mother will say when she finds out you are "living with" your boyfriend?" StillA Said: I neverthought about that Blondie. Liquid Sky Said: Are you kidding me???? You've never, ever, thought about what mommy and daddy might say if you moved in your boyfreind??? You're delusional. I don't understand why you even come here asking for advice. " Actually, I did think about that statement after it was asked last night and if you must know i came to the decision that if they were to find out then so be it. I am 23 now and me risking D"F will be the price I will have to pay to live my life as happily as possible. So eh!

"Aren't you worried what your mother will say when she finds out you are "living with" your boyfriend?" I neve rthought about that Blondie. I live in the city and well... I don't talk to anybody from my old hall and have no association with JW's except my folks. They've never asked to come over and I wasn't exactly a fixture in my old hall

Show up for a couple meetings and then fade. That will then get the elders at my old hall off my back about my damn card (I suspect they are being so persistent because our C.O is a real douchebag) and my mom will be relieved to know I have joined a new hall. What do you guys think of this plan? And please no "honesty is the best policy" stuff. I have so many other things I am trying to figure out about myself right now. I can't have the extra undue stree. Thanks!

HELP! I got a call from an elder today!
by stillAwitness inan elder in my hall finally called me after 7 months after me moving out on my own.
he was inquiring about how i was doing and which hall i needed my publishers card sent too.
(of course i did not ansewr and he left a message) up until now, my parents still think i go to meetings (although even my mom has been wondering why my publishers card has not been sent over) i keep stalling insisting i don't know why and that i am regular at meetings and service.

The advice on just maybe attending a few meetings so that I can get my card sent over sounds like a good idea. Then just stop going so that they will simply assume I am "weak" But there is that risk that the elders in the new hall will be just as bad as any elder and start being more persistent then I would like them to be. I will need to face the music. I am 23 now so there is nothing left to do but start being honest. How and when I do it is another story..

Thanx for the advice everyone. I know what I must do...but perhaps I will wait just a little bit more longer till I do it. I dunno. Maybe I should of been more honest from the very beggining. I keep feeling there is a chance my parents and I can have a more meaningful relationship and I rather that relationship based on truth rather than lies even though once I tell the truth it will be a tough road ahead. Its still the right road.
