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

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."

Been there. Got kicked out because I chose veterinary over insurance under my overbearing father who would just keep all the money I made regardless.

Guys, this is rude. Jehovah's witnesses don't annoy people, they spread the good news.

I know this was posted a long time ago but wow! Just because you see something about Jehovah's Witnesses doesn't mean you have an argument and trash them in the comments. There are a lot of stereotypes on Jehovah's Witnesses that aren't even true! Some people are just disrespectful to other peoples beliefs. We aren't trying to shove it down your throats, we'd just like to share news and our beliefs with you. Some people just take it the wrong way and are really ignorant to the topic. Some people have never even been visited by a Jehovah's Witness and they just go along with what everyone else says. Honestly I don't care how many negative votes this May get, I'm just happy to get this out to the really annoying, disrespectful, ignorant people.
