Update again

by Akid48 in

i don't know if anyone remembers me on here but i'm here to do an update again.. well, i'm 15 going on 16 soon i still remember watching my first video on youtube and learning that all the jw teachings are false and everything that follows.

crazy times, i have chosen to just focus on school and just trying to be a kid well a teen now but you get the point.

i'm not really mad about all the jw stuff i've come to accept that i couldn't have done anything to prevent it i was born into a family that was already into the religion.

Hello, I'm 15 too, and honestly thanks for the book recommendation. I've been trying to explore more reading genres and get back to reading more. I've been reading less since high school started. Oh, and if you have more recommendation please share :3 I've been a huge bookworm in the past so its hard for me to find new books haha.
P.S. I've been also doubting this religion that I have been born into, sometimes it would consume me with guilt and shame but I'll get better

Hey, galaxia_moon I'm glad to hear that there are other teens/kids on this website and just using critical thinking and seeing through the JW teachings. If you ever need help or just need someone to talk to just send me a message I'm willing to help in anyway possible

I'm not really mad about all the JW stuff I've come to accept that I couldn't have done anything to prevent it I was born into a family that was already into the religion. I'm really just trying to focus a lot on school and topics I like for example I've fallen in love with biology. I still gotta a whole bunch of books I want read like the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show On Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene by Richards Dawkins, Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz and 1982 by George Orwell. Yeah I got a long list I'm planning on trying to finish all of that list by the end of my summer but I'm getting a head start because of this COVID thing happening.

I hope everybody else is doing okay I'm glad to post again on the site!

video games sports etc

by Akid48 in

maybe two or three weeks ago we had a meeting at the hall about sports which was pretty bad.why do they act like they support sports or videos while they say at the same time they say you can't do 90% of anything of those things,maybe the video says you can play sports here and there but then you have the social problem of brothers and sisters looking down on you for liking sports more or liking to watch sports more than take hours out of your day sitting down going over the watchtower or reading a bible.

is it just me more i think as a teen you should at least being doing something even if its not sports maybe music or anything a teen likes,because every time i try and talk to a teen in the kingdom hall they seem off or flat out weird,its like there a different type of teen or something they cant relate to anything that you would usually talk about i don't know there just off and i feel like locking them up and locking there brains is just horrible..

update

oh buy this is going to be long.i'll be lucky if most of you still remember me its been a really long time since i've posted.

so im 15 now makes me happy because im getting so close to being able to work and being able to make my own money and save it.i've had talks with my family i havent said flat out that i dont care or like this but they have figured out that i dont agree with it,who knows whats that means for the future but i know its most likely going to be something bad.the way i've dealt with this hole shit hole is that i just dont let it get to me.i told myself im not going to let this hole thing ruin my childhood and my chance to make memories and to do things that normal kids can do,and the year i said that is the year ive made so many storys about dumb and fun things i did and that year made me feel like a normal kid and made me feel like nothing was wrong and maybe my life isn't that bad.i know its not smart i know i'll be in big trouble if my aunt or anybody that jw found out about what i was doing could go very wrong,but at this point i dont care even if thats dumb im just not going to let this ruin my time to have fun and be active before i become a adult,alot of stuff went on i mean i diged my own hole have my own girlfriend big red flag to them i have all worldly friends big red flag to them when most of its just me being normal but those two would put me into deep shit.. i know that the hole double life thing is bad to jw's but if any other teenager or kid is on this website i just want to say dont be scared to live a double life,dont be its brought more happiness than i've ever had in years its brought more motivation in my life than anything.its like having the life you should've had yes its hard to get through the loops of dealing with jw's but all the work is worth it.the so called double life is a normal life that you should live so dont feel bad and live the life you should be living.. but im happy to be posting again that first part is my update and the second one is for any kid that is looking around here,i hope you guys are doing good and i hope everybody is fine its good to be back!.

First off hey everybody sorry for such a late response I should’ve stated that in the post but I posted that fast and could have added more.Yes I understand all I need to do is not screw up and I should’ve built more on that pint and talked about school life more.Im way better at school than I used to be I mean it’s just a breeze to me and yes I’m focused on school and I understand some of the pitfalls of people making dumb decisions and Ive already seen teens life’s already ruined so I know the down falls and I’m ready to ignore them and not ruin the life I’ve been wanting and been working for.Sorey I should have said that in the post but I wanted to talk on the fact that I’m not letting myself be dragged down by this and I’m more talking to people and making school and “worldly things” more serious now like education and having a healthy social life but I want to thank you guys for concerns about making dumb choices means a lot.

Same Talks Again and Again

by Akid48 in

hey i’m back i know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted on the form but a lot things have been happening so i haven’t had much time to post.. ive been 14 for awhile now makes me happy because i’m getting closer to being able to get a job and work my way out of this.. i have meetings on saturdays now which is horrible because i rather have it on sunday because it’s already a sad day because i got to go to school the next day.three of our public talks have had different brothers saying the same thing talking about the signs of the end days.the thing that gets me is when they always try and bank on the earthquake part i mean i’m really into science so i already knew a lot about plate tectonics sea floor spreading etc but you get taught this in school.with plates always moving divergent convergent transform etc there will be earthquakes it’s the effect of plates moving against or rubing on each or going back into the mantle(subduction zones) it happens.so when there’s a report in japan of a lot of earthquakes it must be the end times!no japan is located on four plates it’s going to experience big earthquakes.. i don’t know that just gets under my skins when they try and say it’s the end days because of the earth having natural things happen like plate tectonics is something that’s been happening recently no we might have gotten our hands on the technology to spot earthquakes recently but this has been happening for millions of years.. speaking of years i hope you all have a great 2019 and i’ll definitely post more of my thoughts this year..

You're right and you can hear how dumb they sound they even have a video where the householder asked why do you even touch on scientific topics when your outdated and wrong the then it cuts out with them acting like hes going to tell him why BUT NOPE

Thats the problem I have mostly with no one getting any education So they can get away with some dumb shit when they talk about science or any other subject.For example is there videos on did it evolve or was it designed (I havent seen one of those videos in awhile so I dont know if thats the title)But they just say what the animal can do and at the end they feel like they totally trumped you in a debate I say this because we have had talks like that would refer to the video or on the back of the awake.

They didnt show any proof on there side of the argument but since it sounds to complex it couldnt have evolved.
