i think i’m going insane.... i’m 17 years old and being raised in a jw household.
i really want friends and a boyfriend but i can’t have that because my parents are jw and i’m also homeschooled.
they are those jw parents that refuse to let me go to public school because of bad influences.
You're only 17, so hang in there and try to be patient. Tough age to get through.
Whatever your feelings, unless you are being abused, your home is probably your safest bet unless you have heaps of cash to take care of yourself. If you don't and you leave home, you might find yourself at the mercy of others.
Keep educating yourself in the meantime. Have a plan.
Hope it works out for you.

I want to be in Tony's bunker.
we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.
what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.
“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.
Not surprising if this is real. A lot here have speculated about not if but when they will drop the 1914 date.
Waiting until 2019 makes sense because it is now 100 years since the last date tied to 1914, the war in heaven, the casting down of Satan and finally the establishment of pure worship on earth in 1919.
After 100 years with nothing to show, even the gb must realise they are pushing it.
Edited to add, I have often wondered if they would consider switching their equations to the secular date of 587 for the starting point of the end time prophecies. This would buy them another 20 years. I'm sure they could come up with something significant occurring in 1934.
have any of you come across this rare breed of jw?.
i know a brother who spends 9 months of the year living in a caribbean island where he is an active jw and then he flies back to his home european country for 3 months to work and save up so he can fly back out again.
he is an active jw in his home country.. he's not a missionary and has never been to gilead though he attended pioneer school back in the '90s.
2 jw families I know are having a 6 month 'preaching holiday' in Europe right now and spamming instagram daily with their wondrous experiences.
Apparently, it's not bleak, ex-soviet countries that need help, it seems to be the exceptionally beautiful parts of Italy.
so much for global warming its a damn hoax.

TD,
Thanks for that.
I read the article and if you think it says global warming is a hoax, you should probably read it again, assuming that you read it in the first place.
when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.
that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.
i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.
Well said Simon.
As I have gotten older, I realise that most situations are not black and white and it's not healthy or helpful to categorise people or their views. Most people have a spectrum of beliefs.
Personally, I am over the whole right - left argument. The more it's used, the more tribal the parties seem to become, as Cofty pointed out.
A good example is the gun debate. What's wrong with loving the right to own guns, yet admit that allowing the general population easy access to guns carries inherent risks?
it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.
they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.
they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].
Hey TTWSYF,
There are lots of threads about this subject on this site going back years.
Worth a read if you like this subject.
in response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.
would they be better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.
would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.
Thomas dam,
You say that the 2nd amendment allows the citizen to have the same firepower as the government just in case the government needs to be brought back into line?
Do you honestly believe that the U. S. government, or any other government would allow that situation to exist?

The cost of the freedom to bear arms is the risk of mass shootings of civilians.
