BobBong I feel ya. I was a JW as well. I cant speak for all the witness's but my parents had a hard time dealing with me being the black sheep and for a long time I was an outkast but my parents have shown me a great deal of love even though I dont share their beliefs anymore. I moved out when I was 15 cause of a whole shit load of issues but not everyone is the same. Some parents although they are religious and can get blind sided dont ever forget how to continue to love their children no matter what choices they make.

Its hard not to let a situation like that get you down but what doesnt kill ya only makes you stronger. Trust me i learned the hard way as well but in the end i really havent done that bad for myself. Im sure things will work out for you and someday you can prove to your folks that you dont have to obide by one set of rules to be happy or even successful in life. And if ya ever need a pal to smoke up with im here for ya... (in cyber space n e way) lol

Always,
Mona
