I'll try to explain it all in detail, First thing first is. I'm a Jehovah's witness. Well, i maybe a Jehovah's witness but i was just "Forced" here because of my father. Iv'e been playing this online game, "Dragon Nest". I got stronger, i'm even a Guild Master in a guild. You could say that, this is my first time experiencing happiness in a game and achieving something in an online game. Because back then when i play online games, i always quit in the end. But playing Dragon Nest is different, it was really fun and i got stronger. Now then. lets go to the problem, Since my dad is a Jehovah's Witness, he's been seeing me and my friends playing the game. And he's not that happy. He talked to me, in a calm way, he wasnt angry, he simply said to me to quit the game. As for me i got depressed, well.. since i did a lot of hard work in that game.. All my life.. i obeyed my Father.. He wanted me to take Computer Science, so here i am, he wanted me to be a Jehovah's witness, so here i am... and now this?.. All my life i faked my "Happiness" in this religion.. but i'm not... All i do is make a poker face while hearing about God and stuff... i'm not saying that i don't like it.. but.. it's just not my thing.. Now what?.. I'm at lost.. All my hard work in that game.. If i do quit the game, what will be left of me?.. and whats worst is.. my dad told me: "Son, no matter what you choose, its alright, i just want you to be happy." Hearing that made me feel bad. Heck i got REALLY depressed... *sighs*... Can someone here give me any suggestions?.. I love my father. But will i always continue like this?.. Ruining my happiness just to make him proud of me?

this is a troublesome problem,i have also had to face this problem,our parents love us,we want to make them proud of us,but it's hard,our thoughts different,we feel sad about it. but you must understand no matter what choice you make they love you forever ,even you do something wrong.

Now i feel bad.. But even still. His reasons are not fair. I'm already 21 years old i could atleast play games at my own choosing right? Anyway, thanks for telling me this.. reminding me of my father loving on whatever i choose. I guess your right.
