we have just gotten home from sunday-meeting, when my mom ask me if i believe in god and so on.
so i tell her, cause you adviced me to be honest.
and despite all my fears, she took it very calm, and then told my dad whos also taking it calm, and it doesnt seem like theyre hating me now or want to throw me out of the house.. the thing is.
most 15 year olds are easily manipulated. They don't have fully developed thinking patterns. They don't have the experience to ignore idiots. Whether Filip is easily lead isn't he whole problem ...
This is totally untrue and ridiculous! I knew when my mother got into this jw nonsense when I was 13 years old that it was insanity & was not healthy. 13 year olds can actually think, and are conscious! He is young, but he is not stupid. You insult his reasoning abilities.
ok in 5 months i could move out of the house, when i turn 18 on may 5, with my teacher who offered me to stay for a few months until i go to college or i could room with my friend whose got an apartment not far from here.
or i could stay at home starting at june 1 i wont have anything to do with this religion except ill have to pay my own bills and such.
now i just got accepted to texas a&m and university of texas, and i want to go to ut but my parents wont support me for that.
It sounds to me like your parents (your dad in particular) is trying to manipulate you into a position of being dependent on them for financial assistance for your education.
How soon do you have to send in your FAFSA application? If you can delay sending an application until you are living on campus or in an apartment of your own, you should be able to claim as independent at that point. Is there any way you can work and put some money of your own aside to get you started and tide you over until FAFSA funding comes through once you are on your own?
Right on Scully. If this person continues living at home & the parents won't co-operate or pay, it ain't happening. Typical jw move, isn't it, try and manipulate & control everyone around them. What a shame! The financial aid system needs an overhaul for people like this.
i was watching an old eddie murphy hbo special a few weeks ago where he was talking about relationships.
in his bit, he went off on how all men cheat on their wives and girlfriends.
he was adamant that even the nicest of guys will take the opportunity to cheat if given the chance and that women need to understand that this is the way it is, 100% of the time.
No. But you might want to get George Carlin's opinion to know for sure.

Valis,
Has anyone actually gotten anything out of fastweb besides spam?
how many of you have gotten so unbelievably depressed when you realised how trapped you were?
when you realised that your whole school life could have been spent preparing you for a world you were totally unprepared for?
when you realised it was your sanity or else?
There are a lot of heroes on this board. Heroes of all kinds, but what makes them all heroes is their drive to succeed & overcome the obstacles. Most probably went through different stages of recovery at different times, but it takes work. Don't give up, you can lead a happy life!

Is there a high school guidance counsellor you could explain your situation to? Or even a college counsellor? If you move out with the teacher, you will be able to claim independant. Otherwise, if your parents refuse to fill out that FAFSA, you're screwed. You may be able to get special help for financial aid from the college.
hey all, i just took some "after" pictures today and need to share with my friends.
as some of you know, i lost a bit of weight recently.
(by eating less, eating better and exersizing - it actually works sometimes!)..
You look stunning! How did you do that, stay off the internet, lol!
Congratulations on a healthier you! You should show it off.
i am so terrified!.
#2 daughter came home from college on 12/18 with a violent headache, nausea, neck pain and great fatigue.
we took her to the dr. on the 20 and again on the 21st as she had kept nothing down for 3 days.

I know it's hard, but try to stay positive. You are in our thoughts!
apostasy?
fornication?
drugs?......what???
I'd make up about a 4 hour story involving orgies in exotic locations involving Bethelites & ministerial servants, spies, international intrigue, hypnotists, etc. Till they had a hard time figuring out if I was crazy, or they were
.
can you still recall nice moments you spent as a jw?
do you remember ever being happy there?
Well, I got this dandy tattoo of a book bag with a red slash through it . . . .
