Yeah I know what you mean. I was pressured to get baptized at 14 and then my parents took me out of regular school because I was "too popular." Then I had to home school myself and regular auxiliary pioneer at 15! I hated every second of it. I would sneak out of the house at night and I hated it. And they wonder why I left so young. They are happy that I am back now, but I dont think that they know how soon it is until I leave again.

The leaking organization, seems like the young are exiting fast.
by free2beme ini ran across a witness i knew the other day at the gym and we had an open and honest discussion on exiting the organization.
he still goes and used to be an elder, but stepped down when his children were disfellowshipped.
he was actually very honest with me on some subjects, which tells me that he is probably putting together an exit foundation and looking for some bricks of information to make it solid.

listing of authorities and their date for the fall of Jerusalem
by M.J. insorry if this has been posted before.
i came across it and thought it was worth pointing out: http://members.tripod.com/sosoutreach/wts/607.html.
(edited) the annoying popup caused me to cut and paste the table from the page, rather than embed it: the narrative before and after is good too so you might want to check it out the original page.

I want to show this to my believing parents... is there any certain way I can say something - like being curious without them thinking that I'm questioning them?

Women be silent!!
by skyman ini have been looking into the research art d. ehrman from the department of religious studies from the university of north carolina.
he makes a very convincing argument that to me proves the bible verses that make women less human was not in the originals.. paul called women by name some of the women were taking the lead at romans 16: 3-16 in verse 3 say fellow worker prisca (woman).
then verse 7 junias (woman) this is interesting some bibles including the new world translation then says who are men or kinsmen this is not found at all in the older manuscripts so the new world translation and any other translation is in error.

I know this is completely off topic, but I was just reading all of this and whether we agree or disagree, its awesome how we try on here. I tried talking about this stuff with my parents and they just brushed me off saying that I am looking for fault in the "truth." It is truly awesome to me and eye opening to watch all of us reason with each other and help each other without judgement (most of the time, lol). And I appreciate and am so grateful for finding all of you! Ok.. bttt

Okay, after being in my psychology class today, I have been thinking. Although it might not be of importance to you, but what do you think will happen to us? I guess this is just my confusion. I guess I'm not sure what to think now. What happens when we die? What happens now? I know everyone will have their own opinion, but its hard not being told the "truth" so to speak. Although I have never believed in the "truth." I have always doubted it and sort of done my own thing behind my parents back. I mean I have the knowledge from the literature and kindgom hall for what they say. But I dont know what I say. Would you please share your beliefs with me or opinion on this sort of topic? Thank you!

lmao... congratulations hon. Its always hard to come out with something so powerful that sometimes tear families apart. But I know you have the courage to do it and if your family doesn't accept it, then they are losing out on knowing a great person, no matter what your preference is! :)
