Feels more like a cult

by Walrus in

so i grew up around this religion and never liked it.

nothing ever made sense and nobody ever clarified anything if i asked them a question.

i'm 17 right now so you'd figure oh only one more year until you can leave.

So I grew up around this religion and never liked it. nothing ever made sense and nobody ever clarified anything if i asked them a question. I'm 17 right now so you'd figure oh only one more year until you can leave. not exactly. One of my best friends was also raised in this religion but is planning on leaving too, as well as a bunch of other friends in different congregations. I've been asked if i belong to a religion by some people and always either said no or im an athiest. Because lets face it, jehovahs witnesses are just a bunch of hypocritical, witless, numbfucks who believe anything they read or hear.

Nothing ever made sense to me like why cant we listen to certain types of music, or watch certain movies, or anytihing of that sort. before you go rushing to say that its better for me to sty in this cult, let me tell you, it is NOT. i hate this religion so much, personally i feel like growing up as a witness kid, your social life is stunted, your life experience is stunted, pretty much experiencing what life is like is stunted. My mom was a very strict parent so naturally, Im a very sneaky kid who can lie on the spot, memorize loud parts of the floor, always have a solid alibi, and get away with whatever i want. Im getting off track but what im tying to say is i grew up in a very sheltered environment, i wasnt even able to hang out with friends from school because they werent witnesses.

Because of this ive gotten very good at hiding pretty much everything, got involved with bad people, drugs, probably everything you could think of. All that because i wanted to just have a taste of what was never given to me. Youre probably thinking "What a lazy brat" and if you are then i will kindly ask you to fuck off about now because whatever your view on gen z, ive worked for just about everything around me and worked for my brothers in construction since i was 13 years old. but long story short my mom and step dad basically forced their religion down my throat my entire life and now im being forced to quit pretty much what keeps me together at this point in my life which is racing motocross because its "too competitive". i see this as some bullshit because one of my friends was telling me about what happened at some supposed to be friendly witness baseball game. (this friend is a MLB prodigy for the dodgers) and from what hes told me, witnesses are assholes when it comes to competition. i split my eyelid open playing basketball with witnesses before and can say that they are worse than normal people

anyway i just came here to rant about that and ask anyone how they told their parents that they wanted to leave this religion. thanks

Did you know most jehovah witnesses don’t even follow their own rules?

by Walrus in

(before you read anything i was born into this religion and am just counting down the days until i can leave) so i made one other post before because i signed up thinking that this was just a one time venting thing for me and everyone that replied on my last post was super helpful and i thank you if you’re reading this one but shit.

i’ve never released this much emotion especially to strangers, not even with my own parents and with you guys i feel like i can say anything about how i feel and it’s all good because you all feel the same as i do.

but anyway i just got into some shit with my mom and step dad.

(Before you read anything I was born into this religion and am just counting down the days until I can leave) So I made one other post before because I signed up thinking that this was just a one time venting thing for me and everyone that replied on my last post was super helpful and I thank you if you’re reading this one but shit. I’ve never released this much emotion especially to strangers, not even with my own parents and with you guys I feel like I can say anything about how I feel and it’s all good because you all feel the same as I do. But anyway I just got into some shit with my mom and step dad. (while they’re drunk of course) so I want to play football next year in high school (my junior year) and my mom was saying how “we don’t involve ourselves in organized sports” and I asked her why but she gave me no answer. But I know that my brother played in high school so he called me after I text him and he says he did play in high school. But my mom was denying the fact that he did at the school I’m going to. He said he didn’t play at that school but either way he played in high school. But my mom wanted to argue and scream at me that he never played at that school and I’m such a liar. But what does it matter? I didn’t say he played at that specific school I just said he played, my mom and stepdad piece of shit are such hypocritical cunts it’s so amazing how fake they can be in that kingdom hall. My mom started yelling at me that I have no choice in anything at all anymore for literally no reason. She thinks I’m going to die at school because I am homeschooled right now but I haven’t always been homeschooled so she is over the top intense about me going back and she says that if I don’t keep a C average by the end of the semester, then she’s putting me back in homeschool. Actually I can hear her complaining to my sister as I type this on the phone about signing off a release for condoms that the school offers, and basically what she’s saying is “how dare the school offer protection for kids who would like to practice safe sex” what the fuck is wrong with you? It’s not like I’m going to have sex in high school that for me is not the time, but she is so blind of how the world works today it’s horrible. She doesn’t even know what i want so how can a woman who doesn’t know me dictate my life? All my siblings are lucky fucks because they’re already out and my sister smokes weed and my mom gives her such a hard time about it like it’s her decision! She is the biggest hypocrite I’ve ever seen. My mother thinks she knows everything about my life and she doesn’t, she knows barley a quarter of what I do and want and I would like to keep it that way. She wonders why I’m always in my room, it’s because every time I leave my room I’m immediately badgered and yelled at about “I need to make my decision soon and make the RIGHT choice”(she’s talking about getting baptized which will never happen) and every time she says this I scream on the inside like a banshee being buttfucked with a tire iron. Anyway sorry if this one is messy as well and long if you do read through the whole thing, thank you

This religion is way too restrictive

by Walrus in

i need to vent about some stuff that this religion does to just about anyone at this point.

so i was raised in this religion and when i was 12 or 13 i told my mom (and step dad which has made my decision much firmer) that i didn’t want to be a witness because it’s too restrictive.

my mom proceeded to cry and guilt trip her way into ending this conversation.

I need to vent about some stuff that this religion does to just about anyone at this point. So I was raised in this religion and when I was 12 or 13 I told my mom (and step dad which has made my decision much firmer) that I didn’t want to be a witness because it’s too restrictive. My mom proceeded to cry and guilt trip her way into ending this conversation. (after 2 damn hours) my dad is not a witness but I stopped going to his house when I was 13 because of what him. But now I regret it entirely because since my dad is a non witness, he would let me do whatever I wanted that was reasonable like, hanging outside with my friends all day, going across town to get some food with them, he let me play any video game I wanted (the witnesses believe violent video games or just video games in general are ‘bad’ in gods eyes) and my dad was just a super chill dude but my mom is over protective af. I loved playing the games I did at my dads house so I digitally bought them in secret and play them when everyone’s asleep, she won’t let me talk to anyone online (but yet she makes me go out in the field service which is the same as talking to people online you’ve never met them) I’m going into my junior year in high school next year and I asked her if I could play football and she just kept saying “we don’t involve ourselves in organized sports” and I asked her why but she wouldn’t give me an answer. I’ve been homeschooled since 8th grade and finally decided to go back and my retarded ass step dad and my mom wanted to sit down and talk about it (when they’re drunk of all times) and my retard I mean step dad says “what are you going to get from going to school I’m worried about your spirituality” and on the inside I was fuming and screaming, ‘shut the fuck up no one cares, and what do you mean what am I going to get an education from are you retarded” so I started to yell at him about this. I know for a fact that my brother (who’s a few years older) played football 11th grade and my mom was denying it tooth and bone just because she didn’t want me playing it. I genuinely want to play sports and need something to take my anger out with at the same time and I thought football would be cool to play for that but my mom is totally against it. When I was going with my dad I gained hella weight I turned into a little chubster in 6th grade and my friends used to grab my man titties and I’ve never done anything about my weight until now because “sports are bad” and I haven’t been going to the gym as much as I should but what I’m trying to get at is this religion is way out of hand and if you start to question anything about it you’re immediately known as an ‘apostate’ and no one is allowed to talk to you. Music is also an issue, you aren’t allowed to listen to anything beside the ‘kingdom melodies’ or country because it’s ‘not inappropriate’ but personally I love rap and hip hop because some of it just makes me feel good and gets at me but that’s ‘horrible’ because what? Most rappers are black and use ‘bad language’ fuck that I’m gonna listen to what I want. One time I made the horrible mistake of telling my mom I want to get baptized when I was 14, now I’m 16 and have to wait until I’m 18 to leave because those are the rules. I remember my mom yelling at me that ‘I didn’t have a choice whether or not to study’ and at this time I was homeschooled and she was complaining about my schedule which I do my work and she was yelling at me that I have no choice about that. My mother is a hypocrite and so is my step retard I mean dad. Anyway I’m just trying get this off my chest to at least one person sorry if it’s longings messy. Just for reference these are the rules as of 2019
