I DON'T BELIEVE IN MY MOM'S STUPID FUCKING RELIGION

[Chad32]

I feel your pain, bud. I would say get a part time job, and buy the game with your own money. There is no reason to believe that playing Zelda means you'll start casting Din's Fire all over the place.

Op, I suggest you grow up. Youre going to have to be far more mature, in order to survive teenage years with JHW parents. Which means you need to accept that your mum in this case is only looking out for you as she sees fit, and until you can buy your own videogame, you best deal with it. Pick your battles wisely, young padwan. (Star Wars term, I spose you haven't heard it).

She is your mom, and even if she is a religious nut, she is only trying to do what she thinks is good for you. Don't be angry at her and obviously don't seek revenge. Rather understand that she is being ignorant and if anything try to help her see the flaws in her belief system. As others said, hang in there till you can become independent, as for games, there are plenty of online pokemon games and other ways to get the games you want. *wink**nudge**torrent*


Also out of curiosity, which game did she buy for you? Cause other than candy crush, most other games I can think of contain a few sins.

[Elskidor]

Kill her.

How mature to you have to be to not facepalm at stupidity?

As it turns out, the Jehovah's Witnesses movement has a high turnover rate. Your mom might quit, or even better, get thrown out (they do that quite a bit).

Might be worth it to see if things go south on her, the JWs are all controlled from the home office in New York City, any independent thought she might have could get her bounced. Or maybe a friend of her's gets shown to the curb and she decides to follow.

Only downside might be if the JWs kick her out, she might jump to the Mormons, and then YOU will have to wear the magic underwear, and that is just CREEPY FUCKING WEIRD.


BTW, if she ever talks about anything bizarre going on at church, please let us know, it would be appreciated. I think the JWs have a sex abuse scandal brewing, and probably some big financial shenanigans too, but they keep a really tight grip on things and it is hard to get good intel.

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW. MY MOM WON'T LET ME GET HYRULE WARRIORS FOR THE WII U BECAUSE IT'S "TOO MAGICAL AND SORCERY". I DON'T FUCKING GIVE A SHIT! I TOLD HER THAT I DON'T BELIEVE IN HER DUMBASS FAKE RELIGION (SHE'S A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS) SO I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT'S STUPID FUCKING RULES ABOUT WHAT GAMES I PLAY. SHE ALSO DOESN'T EVEN LET ME PLAY FUCKING POKEMON BECAUSE ITS BASED ON JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY! I DON'T FUCKING CARE! I'M 14 AND MATURE ENOUGH TO HANDLE FUCKING MAGIC!!!!

All caps, what an adorable child it is yelling at its new found friends. So very mature. A joy to a mother's heart.

I don't know your mother, but if she's either a Jehovah's Witness or worried about magic in gaming she is wrong. But guess what? You are 14 and she is capable of providing food, shelter, and video games. And she's legally responsible for you. So you get to abide by her rules until you can do those things yourself. Welcome to the real world.

So, beside waiting til you are older, what can you do? You can use it as an opportunity to practice the arts of diplomacy and rational argument. Hint: neither involves shouting. I don't promise they will work on mom, but they might work on more rational coworkers and bosses later.

Not that. She bought me a video game just yesterday and i have many video games.

Then, maybe give her a break. You don't have to believe what she believes, but until you're paying for your own videogames, I'd try being a little more grateful.

I sure hope you didn't approach her with the same attitude implied with your language and all caps "YELLING!" in your OP.

After all, she is supporting you, feeding you, providing a roof over your head, possibly paying for college, etc. The least you could do is show her a bit of respect for that.

Best in these situations is to explain your position calmly and rationally.
