AITAH for not telling my parents I got 1200$ sent to me

So basically a few days ago I (m15) got an auto deposit of 1200$ into my bank account . I was shocked and wanted to find a way to contact the person that sent it to me . Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any way to contact the person . I asked my older sister (f18) if I could do anything about it or if the bank could help the person that sent it to me . She said that the bank would simply just say it’s not their problem . I would’ve kept it for myself . But , a few days later , turns out there was a lag in the transfer and it was rent money from a house my parents rent ( they’re landlords) they found out and were mad about the fact that I didn’t tell them I had a large amount of money sent to me . I didn’t want to tell them because in the case that it was a random person’s and i couldn’t do anything about it , they would most probably tell me to give it to them . AITAH?

Edit: the money got sent to my account because I accidentally put me and my moms number in the auto deposit contacts , and I will pay them the money back

I recently found out my "why";

Around a week ago, me and my parents had a talk . In summary , they basically talked about my future and the fact that if I chose to not become a jw, our relationship wouldn’t be that good . I then asked why does my choice of religion had to be a criteria for our relationship to be healthy or not . They said that when people leave the "truth", their life become bad and miserable because they’re in a "worldly system" . They said they didn’t want to have to deal with my problems . I know they’ve seen these situations with a lot of brothers and sisters , but I still know that leaving the religion does not equal turning your life into a living hell. Because of this , I will try my best to live a peaceful and least problematic adult life ; to prove them wrong . Unfortunately, I have no idea whatsoever of what I want to do when I grow up . Fortunately,I recently got a job and I can save up for when I leave this house . By the way, I’m 15 years old . This is my why .

How can I convince my parents to hang out with my worldly friends outside of school?

So summer is coming up and I don’t want it to be like last summer .( I didn’t hang out once with friends even once ). And the reason behind think this way : if your friends don’t influence you to serve Jehovah , they’re not a good influence and you shouldn’t be hanging out with them . They really don’t like when I hang with "wordly" people . I am also not allowed to go to a house where they’re not jw. Considering i will be invited to pool parties and just chilling at a friends house. I do have a lowkey friend that’s jw, but I don’t want to bring her because I think it would just be kinda awkward , I wouldn’t be able to be myself fully if she’s in the room … so help I need advice .
