How to tell my mom im moving out?? Need advice please

by cia112 in

well i'm 22 years old, still in college, i live with my mom but she is driving me crazy with her jw nonsense, ive been dealing with it all my life and i really cant take anymore of this, i have a boyfriend, non jw (which my mom hates) and i could barely see him because she doesnt let me go out!

we have 4 years together and i really dont want to keep on like this, im not baptized but i am a publisher.... .

so the thing is, i want to move out with my boyfriend but i have no idea how to break the news to her, she drives me nuts but shes my mother and i love her, i dont want to hurt her but enough is enough...she's probably going to disown me, but i really just want to be happy already...so does anybody have any ideas what i can do?.

Ok, so you're 22 right? Then what the hell is the problem? You are not a minor anymore, and are not required to answer to "mommy" as to your every move, thought, action, or location. Want to go out tonight with your boyfriend? Simply pick up your keys and leave!! When will you be home? When you damn well feel like it!!!

If you are in some situation where by your mom supports you while you're still in college, then remove yourself from said situation by moving in with your boyfriend. During the day while she's out in field service or at work, simply rent a moving van and have your boyfriend help you load all of your possessions into the van and move. Leave a letter stating in short, "Dear Mom, thanks for your help these past 22 years, but it's time for me to be on my own. Also, I'm tired of having an apocalyptic cult's message crammed down my throat constantly as well as your never-ending guilt trips and noseiness. Love, Daughter. PS: Don't call me, I'll call you."

I just can't understand how people over the age of 18 are still under the thumb of their dogmatic, a-hole JW parents. Fugg 'em!! They'll miss you more than you'll miss them, I promise.

And you'll live happily ever after, The End.

Can you see a JW doing this? Absolutely not..........

.......they would merely give this guy a watchtower or awake!

magazine and tell him to, "keep warm, and well fed", and then be on their way to the next pedestrian.

one man, however, stopped to offer a lending hand and it has paid dividends.

.......they would merely give this guy a WatchTower or Awake! magazine and tell him to, "Keep warm, and well fed", and then be on their way to the next pedestrian. One man, however, stopped to offer a lending hand and it has paid dividends. I hardly ever "link" to another news story, but found this one to be worth while. And the man who gave aide? He does this routinely, as part of his job and as part of his religion. Wonder how Jesus must feel about him? He's done more good than all the door-knocking a JW could ever do. A friend in need, is a friend indeed.

So tell me, would a JW even give a crap? I think we all know the answer; they wouldn't stoop so low as to put the window down and give this guy a quarter, although maybe they'd place a magazine in order to count it.

Your advice is requested

by mrsjones5 in

ok, last night my oldest son's friend was over again.

he comes up to me and says that he's feeling alot of pressure from his mom and the congregation (my mother's .

WingCommander

You just gotta love these douchebag parents and congregation busy-bodies who have nothing better to do then to try and groom some impressionable kid into becoming some Stepford drone doormat with no future or prospects for a happy life. Uggg!!!!

First, I'd ask him if he's allowed to make descisions on dating? What movies he can/can't see? How late he can stay out? Who he can "associate" with? Blood transfusions? Is he old enough to drive, drink, vote, smoke, serve his country in a war? If the answer to these simple questions is "no" than what makes the people around him feel he's qualified to be pushed towards serving as a MS, and eventually Elder, much less being baptized. All of the above are mature descisions that shouldn't be made in the "bloom of youth" according to the WT, so why push being an MS or Elder on this poor kid? Sounds like the D-bag parents trying to live through their overspring. Also, the question about wanting to do hard manual labour for the rest of his life should shock him awake as well.

You're much too nice; he came to you for advice, I'd give it to him point-blank and ask that it stay just between you two. He obviously wants some reassurance that he's not crazy for not wanting to be a JW douchebag Elder or going to BetHELL. Give him want he wants, some reassurance that it's ok for him to do good in school and want to better himself in college. Luke was a Doctor after all.

I swear, it's like these losers want the worst for their kids, instead of the best - a life filled with never-ending shit jobs, no benefits, hardship, physical and emotional distress, and no minds of their own. Just mindless, ignorant, beaten down dumbasses. SAD.

Stumbled across a recurring theme in WT: teach 'the organization' to your kids

by sd-7 in

yesterday afternoon, right before i was about to take my wife to the kingdom hall (no, i'm not attending, haven't been in 9 months, strangely enough am still thinking of returning if it would help my marriage, but it won't), i happened to notice her opened october 15th, 2010 watchtower.

around page 25 or so, there was an article that caught my eye.

it instructed parents to teach their children to 'not act independently of the organization, even in small matters'.

WingCommander

Hey! Hey! Kids! Let's all play dress up with Brother McFeely!!

Nothing says "fun" like a costume party where you dress up in retro "business attire" and then pretend to picket other churches!!! Yipppeeee!!

I can see the "suggested" picket sign slogans now:

- Religion is a snare and a racket

- Billions now living will NEVER die!!!

- Education is like a bullet to the head!

- Internet is from da Debil!!!!

- Read the WatchTower Daily!

- I got my PHd from an Awake! Magazine! (Poor. Helpless. downtrodden)

- Middle-aged, single, childless, janitor - and loving it!!!

I get shudders just thinking of this bizzare, weird, boring, cult exercise.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 12-26-10 WT Study (MEETINGS)

3. how important are christian meetings?.

when more give comments,.

in making christian meetings upbuilding.*.

WingCommander

Good point brought out by a poster above, about how JW's must be the only religion to have meetings about MEETINGS!!! How freakin retarded and boring can you get? With all of the SHIT going down in the world, the economic downfall of the last 2 years, people out of work, going hungry, health care, etc.....this is the BEST they can come up with, more beating of the flock for non-participation??? Truly, the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Also....I gotta say, I'm really surprised that they want to hear more "personal comments". I mean, really - this is a catch-22 for the average JW. You're damned it you do, damned if you don't. If you don't raise your hand, you're damned. However, if you raise your hand and you accidentally relate something that you shouldn't (say, what does it mean Jesus had been given authority in heaven and on earth, didn't that happen in 1914??) then all of a sudden they are called into the back room for a tongue lashing and acquasations.

Also.....one thing this article doesn't bring out that I noticed a few years ago. The WT Study and Discussion (I live in Pennsylvania, and it's always been called a WatchTower Discussion) is neither a study, NOR a discussion!!! It's merely an excercise in recitation, something I can train a Macaw (parrot) to do. That's what JW's have been reduced to, fuggin parrots!!!! Squawking and reciting back what they hear, but hardly understanding a word of it as just like parrots, they only have the mental capacity of a 5-year old. Aawwwwk!! Never question the F&DS, no independant thinking!! Aaawwk, don't miss a meeting!! Awwwwk!! Don't forget to hand in your field service time! Awwwwk, Jehovah only hears our prayers! Aawwwwk, the internet and independant thinking is from the Debil!!! Awwwwk!!!

I also grew up in the 80's and 90's and I don't remember this ludicrious bullshit. I mentally checked out of it around 1999 or so, but if I hadn't and were still in, there is no way I could tolerate such brazenly bold self-worship. It is blantant idolotry and mind-control.

These leaders are sick in the freakin' head!!

CO admits from platform that "we were embarassed by 1975."

by watson in

said with a smirk/smile/grin.

this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

WingCommander

Yes, I too would love to know who, where, and when this dumbass CO made these statements. Sound and/or video would be even better!!!!!!

@ Dana: What, you didn't hear? Dark-skinned people are decendants of Cain, because in the Bible it states that God "marked" Cain in such a way that all of the other people would know his kind by sight. And languages? That all came about from when God scattered the people at the Tower pf Babel, making them speak all different tongues (dialects).

C'mon, get up on WT / Mormom theology already!!!!

LOL!!!

@ pirata: Exactly!! I wonder, how many in 1975 knew about 1925? Probably not many, as that was all pushed under the rug and never spoken of either.

Truly, when you fail to know your history, you are doomed to repeat it.
