Today, my mum yelled at me for wanting to apply to university courses that she doesn't approve of. I'm applying for Biomedical Sciences and Microbiology, she's an unemployed Jehovah's Witness. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML
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, I found out my mom has been stealing from me to pay for Scientology courses. 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 dad refused to sign a student finance form to allow me to study my dream subject at university because he doesn't want the government knowing his business. 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
Today, my mum thought it would be acceptable to tell my school that the reason I will not be attending classes is because I have "the shits." FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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."

Start knocking on doors and see what other people think of your class choices.

JW's are annoying as hell. Do something that'll make you happy, not something that annoys the **** out of millions.

I'm just saying this to help he imbalance of opinions on this post, but since when did someone ringing your doorbell once in a while become such an unspeakable thing? Things like this make me worry about the world I live in. Who carries so much hate over a knock or two on your door? Or even better, who cares at all, if you aren't interested, be tolerant like you should be and probably are of all other religions in the world.

I care about you guys knocking on my door #125. They don't knock only once or twice. I had my car in the driveway and they kept knocking for 20 minutes!! It is terribly annoying. That is why people carry such hate

Damnit, I want to say something about that, but I don't want to start a religious debate. *prays* FML God, what should I do?

When you rearrange the letter of your comment you get "BWOK THE MONSTER". Coincidence?

She needs to read the Bible more and learn about anger.

Wrong! Your missing a "S".

Based on JW structure, OP is probably going to be ostracized. (Unless you're listening to what they believe and being somewhat converted, JW are only allowed to associate with other Witnesses) Something tells me this is going to be a lot worse in the future. But I give OP props for doing what he thinks is best for him!

If that were the case we wouldn't talk to family members that aren't JW's! Which we do!

news flash. my mother and father don't talk to me because I am not a jw. they are missing out on a really cute granddaughter. You obviously have not been exposed to the dark and bitter aspects of choosing to belief in JW instruction. And no, I do not miss it one bit. I began to live when I got out.

Unless you were disfellowshiped they should be able to talk to you. We don't say don't talk to your family, that would be plain stupid.

She's gotta be one in a million, because Jehovah's witnesses don't tell their kids "no you can't go to uni". I'm a Jehovah's witness and I'm going to uni. And my best friends aren't Jehovah's witnesses, we are allowed to socialise with others. I'm not trying to be rude or critical if what you've said because like every religion we have extremists who take things too far and I think that's the problem with this mother

We only can't associate with them if they've been disfellowshipped. We still talk to the people who just say "this isn't for me, I don't want this" and we avoid any religious conversation for them

My father was disfellowshipped and his family are not "allowed" to speak to him. My grandfather was supposedly one of the 144,000 going into heaven. They speak to me because I don't go against what they believe and allow them to think what they want.(They still think there's hope for me to convent, that's why they are permitted to associate with me) There's a strong hold in staying a JW because many would feel lost without their family members close to them.

Are you disfellowshipped?
sourgirl101 29
Oh, and all my JW cousins go to college but study things that keep within their faith. (:
sourgirl101 29
Close. They no longer believe that 1935 date. And 144,000 will go to "heaven" and rule with christ. The others will live on a new earth (paradise on earth, the way it was always meant to be). I hope I'm correct with this information. I'm going by what my father told me after he left it (: Someone once told him "If your heart's not in it, then get your ass out of it" so he left that religion! Lol
