I hate the fact that I probably won't be able to even try to pursue any of my dreams

I just can't take it anymore. I'm constantly thinking about all the academic opportunities I could have, or opportunities in sports or music etc...

Like, Im 14 yr old. I have my whole life ahead of me. I'm lucky af that I'm smart and have great grades at school and I'm also really good and passionate about sports and music.

I can't believe that because I'm forced to be a part of a religion I don't care about or believe, I will be obligated to not go into university or higher education, Im prohibited from joining any sports clubs, and the only thing that I'm actually free to do is music, and even then: I'm blocked from posting my music online. I have to do it in a secret account of mine😭

I just wonder how many talents were wasted because of the religion. I just think "what if" so many times, I'm scared and anxious for my future.

Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and everything they've done for me, but they are also trapped in this thing, the difference is that they didn't realize it yet

closer track of my ep

https://youtu.be/xk9ouO\_P2es?si=w0dMNJZdgiJQY0J7

Finished and published my EP 1 week ago, and here's my closer track. It's supposed to be heavy, representing the ideia of everything falling off reality, it starts normal but at the 1 minute mark the beat switch starts and it's pure insanity. Love to know why y'all think. I wanted it to be no lyrics btw, O think my voice in this track would ruin it's purpose on the album

Absolutely insane announcement basically begging everyone for money.

Give your money to Jehovah! Absolutely disgusting behavior. Using God to make people to give money to them.

"God loves when you give money!"

Shit like this is why I'm so done, imagine brothers and sisters in poorer countries hearing this, hell I know amazing people who already gave everything to this org and the prize they get is this? They deserve better, way better. Revolting.

My PIMI dad said life before 1914 was way better than now and I'm shocked at the amount of brainwashing the WT makes

Hi everyone! I had a discussion/debate with my dad like an hour ago. I love him a lot, but the things he said genuinely shocked me.

We where arguing about the 1914 doctrine and if the last days signals (wars, sickness, natural disasters) we're actually happening more often and more destructive.

I argued that wars and sickness, and natural disasters... Have always happened, and the frequency did not change abruptly since 1914 (History suppors my claims, I checked). Also, I argued that the "signals" have always had a number of deaths proportioned to the numbers of population at the time, which my dad disagreed. I showed him the Mongol Wars for example, that we're as destructive proportion wise to the World wars, and he simply dismissed it saying it didn't matter. Because more people died in the world wars 🤦, I tried saying that at the time the population was like 400M compared to the 1B-1.5B that it was at the start of the war, but he dismissed that.

I also argued that the wars and natural disasters have always been brutal, and he said no, because since 1914 "history" says they have been way more brutal, and he showed me the example of the Holocaust. And I showed him the example of the DRC Belgium colonization and the Black plague, which he ignored once again because of the number of deaths.

The thing that shocked me the most was, he said that when he was born, there was way less rude people and more respect, and way less crimes.

I said that the overall humanity have actually become better, because there was the abolishment of slavery in most countries, way more women's rights and minority rights, and overall better living conditions.

He said,

"Look at continents like Africa, and compare to before. Life is way harder now than it was before. The people are rude and it's undeniable that the world worsened overall. If you want to keep ignoring the facts, just tell me"

I was shocked, and just left silently. I feel that there's no point in arguing, since they always find an excuse for something, and more often then not, that excuse is just bad.

I'm so spiritually confused, does anyone here feel this way?

Hi, I'm a teen that's PIMO (physically in, mentally out) Jehovah's witnesses. Recently I've been questioning my faith and exploring a lot of different christian denominations. And I just feel so overwhelmed and confused by all of them. They are so contradictory! Like, one says something is bad and the other says it's not, one translates one way and the other translates a different way, and all of them fight to be correct. And the problem is... A lot of the times, the arguments given for certain beliefs make sense! But are contradictory.

I still believe In a God, but I'm feeling more and more inclined to Agnosticism, because I'm not sure that a God exists, and I'm open for both possibilities.

Did anyone here also have this extreme confusion?

Anyone here has left when being a teenager?

I'm almost 15 yr old, recently I woke up from this religion. I have notes, upon notes of arguments and things that I don't agree with. It saddens me how much this religion brainwashes people.

I really want to tell someone in the congregation, but I don't know if I should. Would my parents stop talking to me?

Even if I don't leave now I'll definitely leave when I'm 18.

FC 26 is genuinely one of the worst games if not the worst game of the fifa/EA FC eras

Everything is broken it's insane. Defending is horrible, defenders don't know how to defend, mark your opponent, etc... They just let them pass

They can't score a header to save their lives, shooting is completely broken, the players make no runs in between the defense, the keepers either make the most insane saves or do an Onana type game

It's so insufferable, I got it from PS+, and fc26 is such a downgrade form fc24 for example
