Jehovah's witnesses

Yes, i'm one of em'. And my mother has blackmailed me into being one. I don't even believe in religion, but she drags me to 3 meetings every week. For as long as I can remember. I want so much some night to wait until she says "quinn, time to get ready for the meeting"; walk over to her with a lit blunt in my hand; and say "sorry mother, I have other plans." But if I even think about telling her I don't believe in this bullshit, she'll practically slam the bullshit on me even harder. She will bring me to meetings all the time, cram bible verses into my head, and have me talk to the "brothers" at the hall and try to "set me straight", when they're the ones who need to be set straight. Not to mention take me in service, bringing the total witness gatherings to a whopping 4 EVERY WEEK. Goddamn I wish this bullshit could be over and my mom could get some sense knocked into her tiny little head.

my best friend is a "forced" witness too, but ive noticed, when you are forced into religion, chances are you dont like it, its not just jehovahs

i know what you means about those meetings, the take so much time out of your day

Wow, I am really sorry. I feel for you. I was fortunate enough to have a mother who encouraged me to make my own decisions and do what I want. She never forced anything on me, then again shes really not a religious person herself. In fact no one in my family really is. I feel for you, really. At least you have sense enough though to not enjoy it. Sorry that was fucked up, no disrespect to jehovahs witness' or anything...oh shit...too late.

I'm goin' to hell.
I bet Heaven has all the good drugs.

thats great for you, my mom says im going to hell because im atheist

High Damighty....

Well my friend you're on your way to the first steps of freedom. Deciding what you want.

Now comes the hard part. Following through with your decision.
I can tell you that I have.. well, been there. I was raised in the "truth" and it was all I knew for a good portion of my early years.

If there is one thing that they teach you.. it is to not live a double life.

And they're right. It eats you up inside to put on a "happy face" for the meetings and then be yourself when nobody you think will care is looking.

Don't do it.
Be honest with yourself first. Then be honest with everyone around you. If they don't accept it then you have to deal with that as well.

Never continue doing something simply because someone else wants you to. Even your parents.

If anything, simply be honest to yourself. '


Bob.

i have a friend thats one and i will have to pretend to be one just so his mom will let him come over to my house

Its so gay that she is thst strict

Parents, or anyone shouldn't force their beliefs on another person. They are just that... beliefs, you can't force people into them no matter what you may think. Religion is a matter of opinion, it isn't something you should be born into which seems to be the way it is now.

If you really don't believe in what you're doing then just tell that to your mother. And whatever you do, don't say you think it's a waste of time. Explain why you don't want to go anymore, otherwise she may not respect your decision.

No matter what you try to tell her, she won't listen to you or respect any decision you make. They have to force religion onto children in order for their Church to flourish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_EKHK1C2IE). Best advice I can give you is to stop going. Your mother can't force you unless you're a little kid. Good Luck.

People choose what to believe, raising a child to believe the same things you do has been happening for thousands of years. If that someone is old enough to choose what to believe and not believe in than that someone should stick their guns and not try to get the best of both worlds.

You can please everyone some of the time.. and some of the people all the time.
