Michael, it is good that you are seeking. The greatest blessing in this life is Jesus, not anything else. No amount of money, material items, pleasure, nothing comes close to the love of Christ. It is not always an easy walk through this life and trust me, Jesus knows all about that. Hebrews 4:15 - For we do not have a High Priest (Jesus) who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin"

I hope i find him soon cause who knows what might happen. Why did jws come to steal salvation from those who had it.
@LC627 I think you should read this.
If you think about it makes more sense that God would die for our sins not a son he created.

I love that...though I admit I didn't understand what it meant for Christ to come into my heart until I was fifteen and understood what this meant...do you want forgiveness of your sins? Because He will forgive you if you ask Him... Into my heart basically means trusting God with your life and believing in His Word. I do not know Hebrew or Greek, but I try to choose ones closest to it...like KJV...I like NASB myself, but I would pray about it...here is another prayer that is the same thing...
Father, I believe that You love me and sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins. But death was swallowed up in victory when He rose again. Please forgive me. I want to follow You from now on and trust that no matter what happens in this life, I will be with You in the next. Thank You for Your love. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Hebrews 11:6 -- "Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him."
Romans 10:9,10 - If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation."
Romans 6:4 - Therefore we were buried in Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life."
Luke 15:7 - I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don't need repentance"
JWs are just people...the Enemy is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy as the Bible says. But the Enemy loses in the end. But it is why we need to speak Truth and live Truth, and be ready to answer anyone to the the Hope that lives within us!
@Mister Michael I love Jesus and Jesus loves you, I won't go to sleep until we are through laboring through whatever we need to. I'm glad you're starting to feel better

They well might, but if you are genuinely being led by the Spirit you will not regret making your calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10)
Mat 10:32-39
(32) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
(34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
(35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
(36) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
(37) He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
(38) And he that takes not his cross, and followes after me, is not worthy of me.
(39) He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
I think that whole chapter of Matthew 10 is great to read for your genuine fear...I hope this part brings you a bit of comfort about the sparrows. God can use you to reach your family...I do suggest finding a church body to help you with your new found faith if you have made this decision. You will need support face to face for sure.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

A person that hates capitalism will still buy necessities because their needs are greater than their principles. North Korea will provide you with an alternative to capitalism, but I suggest you don't accept it.
I would suggest being under age....you find a church apart from JW before telling your parents, so they may be able to help you with how they may respond...and support you...there are tons out there...it is hard with so many denominations and beliefs, but if you need help finding one in your area, maybe someone here can help you if you feel comfortable. I personally don't pm guys...but someone here I am sure can help and if not I will. Google is amazing. 
but getting plugged in to a body of believers/youth group is really going to help. There are many different beliefs regarding denominations, but just know the important Truths are all the same regarding Jesus Christ.

I have family that are JW who won't talk to us on my dad's side...are you in an inclusive JW community? Is this why you talk about capitalism and things? That part I don't know much about how JW functions.
But believe me when I say God can make.a way when there seems to be no way. You may have to have discernment in who you tell at first if this is the case...I am unsure about that, but I would just talk to God about what to do and who to talk to, and we will be praying in support of you here.
Maybe we can stock up on napkins for your family too.
nothing christian about capitalism or communism trust me. Not a jw belief
