hello all, i havent posted on here in a very loooonnngggg time, but i have been reading alot of the posts, anyhow my life has changed a bit this month....a little background.....my fam is all witnesses and my dad is an elder, anyhow ive been living on my own since 19 and i am 25 now, i had to move out cause of the elder thing and me not doing anything with the "truth"...so this whole time ive been living in apartments and now i want my own house....so my lease was up in jan 1st and i needed a place to stay while i house hunt and save up a bit.

so my dad said hey why dont u stay here until your all set again, so i said okay thats nice of ya.

so now he wants me to attend the bookstudy because it wont make anyone say hey he shouldnt be living with u.....stupid adults being stumbled by a father looking after his own son....i just dont get it.

What message would you like to say to anyone studying with the JW's?

i'd say, beware, once you'll be baptized they won't treat you the same way.

they will expect a lot from you, and you'll never be free again to say what you think about the religon or even think for yourself.

they will control your life completely.
