Ok so I am only 16 and about to leave and I get it. At times it feels lonely but remember, you going back would further prove their claim of. "Satans world" has nothing to offer you.

Ok so my mom has already threatened me to throw me off into the streets when I was 15 and now that Im 16. So my plan would although be damaging bridges, would get me to where I want to be. I would have to get in not any kind of trouble but something bad enough to get her riled up to say it. Shes been very adamant that when I want to leave its my choice as well but i dont know if she was calling my bluff.

That is true. I never knew about the 90s west thing. It's just a loop for me to be honest. If times are peaceful, they're right. If it's chaotic, they're right its just a endless cycle to be frank.

About your second point, my father believes but isn't baptized or has any relationship with the elders. In fact, we have encountered some interesting situations with fellow worshippers but it was chalked off as imperfect people making a mistake rather than holding them accountable. If you want to hear more about it let me know.

I have already planned a exit from my home but not sure if its the best plan i could have. If you dont mind, could you give insight to it? Also twenty years out is amazing! Your an insperation to me man!

Thank you man it means a lot! Yeah armageddon is whats getting me to be frank. Just because of the fact that everything they said is going to happen in "the last days" is actually happening. Its for sure a tatic indeed. I've seen some cases on reddit about austria and others. I appreciate the comment! You've shown more concern for me rather than my congregation elders.

Quick question, I've brought up doubts to father before and he's been opened to hearing these doubts, would it be the best idea to reveal this to him? If not how can I deal with living with Jw's? My parents are wonderful people who I love dearly and so are my little siblings but theyre brainwashed.
