Selfish

Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML

Today, my mum decided that me being bisexual meant that I was "deciding whether or not to be a lesbian" because supposedly, no man will have me. Thanks mum. FML

Today, I got an offer to study at a good university. My father has been pushing me to apply for years, so I ecstatically broke the news. Instead of congratulating me, he just grunted and delivered the more important news that he's divorcing my mum. Moment ruined. FML

Today, as I was brushing my teeth, I heard my mum praying to God to help her "get rid of such a stupid child". I have no idea what I've done wrong, and she's refused to talk to me all day. FML

Today, my aunt asked me to change my major to a program I’m not interested in so her depressed son, my cousin, could have a study buddy. I’m in my last year of university and have been accepted to a master’s program. FML

Hypocrite much?

Today, my mom bitched me out and threatened to send me to a Bible camp, after catching me admiring a photo of a bikini model, which is apparently "immoral behavior." This is the same woman who cheated on my dad twice, justifying it by claiming the Devil tempted her. FML

And when she is asked what she does in her adult life, she will respond saying, "I walk around to people's houses and annoy people."

I think people are reading way to much into this. Probably putting more meaning into it then what was intended. Whose to say why the mom isnt pleased about it?

Jw's do not believe only 300 are gonna be saved, you are sadly misinformed..! Thru jesus sacrifice you will be saved, yes, there will be 144,000 chosen ones that will serve with Jesus & Jehovah in heaven, the rest of his believers will live on earth in perfect conditions..! Get your facts right.!!! Read a bible.!!
