  tonight i had an argument with both my parents.

  my parents are aware of my feelings towards the organization, and it saddens them because i am their first born son.

  they had high expectations of me, my father dreamt of him and i serving together as elders.

  Thank you for those words of encouragement, I envy those with accepting and understanding parents that want nothing more than their children's happiness.

  hi everyone.. well, i have some good news.

  after having a terrible moment arguing with my mom about the 1914 teaching and all it evolves (she get really upset and i felt great regret for starting the argument) she came to me next day and started talking with a much more open mind, and she talked about a lot of concerns too.. she and my father naivily expressed the wish to write to bethel to ask about 607bc.

  i told in all the possible ways it wouldn't work.

  @Giordano

  i try not to debate with them, but our lives are all tangled to these beliefs. I just try to reason with them, you see he still sees absolutely nothing wrong with the false predictions, I'll quote Deuteronomy 18:20 and what it says about speaking in Jehovah's name and it won't really phase him, he'll just say that the Society got better and they no longer make predictions

  I can't help but feel like my father may be aware of it being a cult? I asked him last night "If you were in a cult, how would you know?" And he tells me "But why would I look that up? How would that benefit me? It'd probably confuse me, much like it has confused you."

  Tonight I had an argument with both my parents. My parents are aware of my feelings towards the organization, and it saddens them because I am their first born son. They had high expectations of me, my father dreamt of him and I serving together as elders. Right now they seem very hurt by my feelings towards the organization. They see it as something against God, which it isn't, and I've tried explaining that to them, by talking about the organization's history but they are convinced that this is the true organization. I look at childhood photos of my father embracing me and I can't help but get emotional and feel some form of guilt for "waking up". As hurt as they are, I myself am hurt by all of this. They accuse me of being selfish by stirring off into another path. They see it as them going towards the finish line and I'm going the opposite direction. I can't help but feel like there will be a strain in the relationship I have with my parents and it hurts me so much because like I every child, I sincerely love my parents, even if they say they'll forget about me if I don't make it to the new system. Is it strange to feel guilt? Should I not feel any type of guilt at all? Am I selfish?
