Man, that sounds like a nightmare. I am so sorry you have to deal with that.

Forgive me if I'm ignorant of your situation, but is it possible to go to a state college? I know JW families tend to be insular, but would it spark any controversy if you went to college and started your life in a way that isn't dependent on your parents? Maybe you can just not tell them? I know that is deceitful, but if it makes all parties happier, it might be an option.

Do you think this girl you love might go with you to college? Can you have serious conversations with her that express your doubts? Would she leave you if she knew it wasn't your choice?

I can completely understand these fears. It is one of the most disgusting parts of religion, that families are ripped apart like this. I am truly sorry.

Oh, Welcome

I hope you stick around. You'll find a place to vent here.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
