This is my brother here who'm I am proud of for who he is and for his decisions in life (so far).
He posted this thread with the intentions knowing what you guys did when you turned 18, not to ask your opinions on his religious choices or other stuff.
I ask you guys as an old TL member who use to contribute enormously to this site, stay respectful and do not derail the topic. |

TL, what did you do when your turned 18? I turned 18 today, and I got to say it's pretty awesome. My mentality is constantly set at "wow, I'm legally an adult now." Granted the real prize is when you turn 21, but atleast I can now do w/e I want without needing parental consent. So, 2 things regarding this thread. What did you do when you turned 18? And were there things you wanted accomplished by the time you turned 18 TL? My accopmlishments : I was able to keep my virginity till now. (big thing for me, I'm a HUGE believer in abstinence)I am still COMPLETELY clean. No criminal records, no critical events logged on to my permenant record. I never once got held back or failed a class. I have played the violin for 11 years now I get to share my 18th birthday with TL I got a job What I did: I will be holding a dinner party at a Grand China Buffet with my closest friends (looking forward to that). Then, heading to bible study with my other friends. Then heading home for possibly ice cream cake (THE BEST SHIT EVER), and then get ready to say farewell to Feb 16, 2011. Bible Study/Believer in Abstinence... i would suggest a psychiatrist... And NO, to you average teamliquider, I am NOT being bad mannered. Existence of religion and people not being allowed to ridicule it's sanctimonious morality and absurdness IS bad mannered. how is suggesting someone to see a psychiatrist for his beliefs not being bad mannered enlighten me I'm not saying you can't disagree with the guy, but telling him he has a mental issue and need to see a psychiatrist is one thing....
He believes that there is an omnipresent, all powerful "being" in the sky, caring whether he has sex (and further, the said "being", and his faith, made him believe that his natural sexual urge is something that he should suppress). If this is not a typical sign of mental problems, i don't know what is.

I don't think that's true in most (if not all) places.

I think I bought a pizza, ate some of it, watched Tech TV and played CS 1.6.

It was in Orange County and it happened to me twice(both for 18 and 21).
Maybe they just don't like me :[.

My only advice is get out there and start being skeptical of all the crap you were taught. And stop going to 'bible study'. Seriously, don't lose the best years of your life to religion.
Please come to Hawaii and preach to all our lost souls. Everyone here is brainwashed in and out. We have a church on every corner, and all my once-hardcore friends are becoming "Elders" and going to serve as missionaries in 3rd world countries.

Watched a movie, ate a burguer, went to be like usual. Completely uneventful day. Turning 18 wasn't really something to brag about for me.

You're obviously spouting predigested atheist trash without actually thinking about how stupid/ignorant it is, but okay, I'll bite. It may help you think a little.
Just because you have a "natural urge" to do something doesn't make it okay...plenty of rapists have "natural urges" to do all sorts of things to little girls. Plenty of murderers have "natural urges" to kill people when they get angry. Sometimes I get "natural urges" to do all sorts of things when someone makes me angry, etc. Does that make any of these things "okay"? Yeah, son - maybe we were MEANT to control some aspects of our humanity...look at what happens when we don't control it. Like your sig says: "I love humanity, it is people I can't stand."
And as for believing in "some being in the sky", there are many people (like the OP) who actually have a living experience of God and believe in Him for that reason. I also believe in God; I also have experienced God, and not because of some crazy religion that shoves its rules down my throat. I realize there are lots of bad religious examples to poke fingers at, but you have to remember that there are people who are legitimate believers.

I hosted a big party at my house, i heard after the party that you could hear the music 1km away. Plenty of alcohol and cannabis were of course involved.
when i turned 18 is also when i started to fail at school and waste a lot of time, mostly getting high and drunk. I don't regret any of it, good times.
Edit : about the people saying he's an idiotic believer, you're talking bulshit. He has faith and that's something valuable. I don't agree with his way of living (staying virgin...this is just a crappy decision that i can't really understand) but i respect it, as long as he is respectful towards us sinners enjoying the real life and getting much more experience through that rather than religion.

Went clubbing with a few friends. got hammered for the very first time smoked weed for the first time(almost coughed up a lung because I never touched anything that was related to smoking before) lost my virginity; Don't remember the night leading up to the act or the act itself, just a hazy face and red hair. Then when I tracked some of my friends they told me I'd gone home with a girl I'd known for about two years. was my first actual relationship. lasted three months. good god! that was almost a year ago.
ahh, good times.

First tattoo and drivers license. Fuck yeahhh.
But on the actual day, I really can't remember except losing parts of my memory, it seems.

When I turned 18, I did nothing. The only things that changed legally didn't really affect me, and I'm not one to celebrate for no reason. I don't smoke, I'd never buy a lottery ticket, I don't know of any strip clubs that are close to me, not that I would go to one, there were no elections coming up.
I think it was sometime during my spring break, and I was laddering, so I just kept on laddering. :D
