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

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."

I have been to many meetings my parents are jw's we talk everyday ( even though I'm what they call disfellowshipped) so who ever says that going to their meetings will turn you Into one is ignorant, their religion is their choice and my decision to not being one Is my choice. I have been to college which they paid for so wrong again there people. Stupidity is just annoying.

Wow. It is surprising how STUPID people can sound when they don't know anything about a subject.

tell her you respect her point of view but are living your life how you want to. Give her a hug and tell her you love her. Then take your classes.

I barely read the FML. As soon as i saw religion was involved, I knew the comments would be 1000x more interesting.

It has nothing to do with religion. My parents are jehovahs witnesses and they supported my dicission to go to college. Most JWs dont believe in going to college, but not all r like that.

And people need to stop saying shit about them because it is really disrespectful

Well, what will those studies do for you when this humanity comes to an end? I think she's only trying to look out for you & the relationship you have with Jehovah.

Yeah that's the down side of that. They don't believe in college. My Dad's side is Jehovah's witnesses. My married cousin still soley relies on my aunt and uncle. Thy were surprised when my mom told them I'm completely independent. Sorry but just go for it.

You do what you want to do she'll get over it eventually. JW are not all that bad as people make them seem. I know several l raised in it but choose not to stay with it and I still can talk with my family they got over it. Like all other religions they do have some problems
