AuldSoul, I don't really talk to my dad about doctrinal questions or anything else for that matter since I really don't feel qualified to handle a heated debate. I mean, I would, but I don't want him to pose me a question and I just stand there dumbfounded, you know? Anyways, when 18 comes I'm gone and I'll be driving my truck whether he likes it or not.

Wow you guys are great! Thanks for the support, I'll def. take your opnions and ideas into consideration! Forgot to mention though that my Grandpa is a Dubby and he brought my dad into the organization!! My grammy however isn't a witness. So you think I should get the truck title in my name? No way I would get baptized. I have a horrible relationship with my dad. Even though there is tension and he always tells me that he thinks I am just "going through the motions" of being a witness, we never say anything about it. Basically, he knows I don't like going. There was a HUGE party at the lake and I wanted to go get wasted, so I studied out of that little green baptism book for a week to make him happy and he let me go ( of course, I said I was going on a fishing trip with my worldly friend and his dad..he let me go regardless of "bad association") Anyways, I'll work with my mom to get that truck in my name, damnit! Any other opinions?

Hey guys, how is it going? Ironically, my nickname is Dub and has been since I was in the 5th grade! I stumbled upon the forum one day while I was at school and have been browsing ever since. My dad is a minesterial servant and he pressures me alot to get baptized. I have been going to the Hall since I was in 6th grade. It wasn't bad at first, we had Christmas that year and celebrated my birthday, but soon after that, the holidays stopped. Hanging out with my old best friends(whom I miss SO incredibly much) came to a halt as well. I'm still in public school and somehow manage to how a girlfriend of over 2 years behind his back. My mom isn't a JDub, so she helps me cover. I swear to God, to get out of the house I have to tell him I have work late or I'm going to the gym. The ONLY places I get to go besides school and the meetings. I know other Dubs in my congregation that are homeschooled and once I revealed my feelings of resentment toward my dad and my dislike for the meetings, I found that they had the same thoughts! You don't understand how happy I was to hear that someone felt the same way. Anyways, I'm 17 now and I am a junior in High School, but I've got a real dilemma on hand. Recently, I got into a wreck and my car got totaled. My grandparents decided to give me a brand new truck as a gift (they're awesome if you haven't yet come to that conclusion). Basically though, my dad has told me that IF I don't get baptized before I turn 18, the truck is his. How does he go from telling me that it's my personal choice, but if I choose not to, I get punishded. How the hell does that work? There is no way that I'm getting baptized! How would I work this out? I love that truck to death but on the other hand, I'm not faking my way through the baptism. Doing it at the meetings and during service/ comments is about all I can handle Help! Sorry bringing so much drama to the forums in my introduction post, lol, but nice to meet you all.
