Title: Want To Be More Involved In The Movement
Description: but seemingly can't.
Sureshot - February 7, 2007 03:56 AM (GMT)
I would really like to get more involved in the movement. I would love to call up truthers and talk to them, I would love to have correspondence with truthers, I would like to go to conferences in my area but my parents really prevent me from doing any of that.
A prominent truther emailed me with his phone number and wanted me to call him but I couldn't because my parents would not allow me. My parents are very protective and really don't allow any communication outside school. My mom was upset when I got some DVDs from 911DVDProject.com.
I just get frustrated when I would really like to talk to some of you guys but can't. Anyone else experiencing this?

Try Skype, many truthers have Skype. It's a telephone for your computer. All you need is a microphone. It's free for download, you can phone other computers free but they charge you for normal phone calls.
You can also try iCall, which is a completely free program which calls any phone completely free inside the US. It is a very new program so it has some failures in it.

Well there ya go! If you can't figure out how get crap past your parents, or stand up to them, you're not big enough to be more involved!
Hardcore truthing requires sneakiness! And upstandedness!

Well I used to go to my grandma's house and use her phone to call. But over the winter, she went to Arizona and my mom is taking care of their bills. So that went out of the drain....
I used a pay phone once but a chucked so many dollars in that thing for a small convo, it really wasn't worth it.
And I would like to see you try to stand up to my parents, you don't know the situation I'm in.

Come on dude, how old are you 14, right?
Do you have money? A cellphone? Couldn't you buy a cellphone?
And hell yeah, it's time to stand up to your parents. If you don't show them your old enough to start making some decision by yourself, they'll probably treat you the same way when your 18!
I have an idea that might work, but let me get this straight... You don't have a phone in your room, and your parent donøt allow you to make phonecalls, is that right?!?
And let me guess, schoolwork is important to them, correct?

Sureshot, I dont agree with whatup. I mean I agree with his intent but not his methods.
Youre in school, right? THAT is the place to talk with people. We need the youth of today to help us get their peers to see and understand the truth. YOU can do more for the movement by getting your friends interested than you can by talking to other adult truthers.
But, respect your parents even if they are strict. Be smart. Get good grades. Go to college (like me) and help us work FROM WITHIN!

Hmm, as of now your going to have to be a little sneak, but remain on good terms with your parents. Get good grades (believe me, even though HS is the worst place in the world, screw the mass of stupid people). Try to start an INfowarrior group at your school. That mmight be hard in your situation. Allthough I am not in college, I've been told people care more about there country and civil liberties there. Not HS. Actually, I had a redneck telling me today that martial law was good and he supports it in New Orleans. I told him it was simply unconstitutional and he threw it out the window. Then he tells me about how the cops were shooting people with M-60s because the people were "looting" (I think they were trying to keep the looters away and fact proves that). Just an everyday thing...
well, thats school. Do what you think is right. Respect your parents but you can form your own thoughts about government.
just remember....FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

I start group in my area but have trouble convincing people NIST is paid to lie. Lies spread by government but no one beleving me. I show them video of obvious CD but they say im crazy and science method true. I show them proof!
25 old enough to know how to use my eyes and ears. I dont have many members here in my town, no one beleve me.
My family think I am stupid. Stand up for your mind! I know how you feel. Frustrating.

Sureshot, I have to strongly agree with what Ashley says. Open defiance of your parents is going to get you nowhere fast. As they say, you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. As a student your contribution needs to be to use your position in your school and in your community to inform and influence people to hear the truth. We adults can't wield anywhere near as much influence as you can with your peers. By doing this you are helping build the broad base the movement needs if it's going to work.
Dealing with resistive parents should be done like Aikido. Use their own energy and arguments to defeat them. Passive resistence is best when dealing with internal family issues, IMHO.
