Cultist Religion

So, in short terms, I'm being forced into a cultist "religion" that is massively homophobic and sexist and much worse. Yep. Jehovah Witnesses. I'm forced to wear a skirt I clearly am uncomfortable with wearing because it's "for Jehovah" and go knock on random people's doors and tell them to join a religion I don't want a part of. Except it isn't a religion; again it is very much a cult. No birthday's (or going to someone else's), no Christmas, Halloween, Easter, New years, Valentines day, mothers/fathers day etc. etc. None of that. They pretend my birthday isn't my birthday and go about their normal business, sometimes going out of their way to make my day even more plain. No blood transfusions. If they crashed a car with me in it and they were fine but I nearly died and needed a blood transfusion, they would refuse and let me bleed out to death. No revealing clothing. Like, at all. Shoulders, legs, sometimes even necks are scandalous to them. No voting, as God is the true ruler. They view homosexuality as sinful and stand with the "Adam and Eve" theory, which is massively dated. Same goes for all other sexuality's and genders that are not straight cisgender man or woman. They are also very sexist, claiming a man has more authority over women and the man is the head of the house. They only allow women to progress to pioneering (essentially unpaid marketing for them) which is considered a great honour but is still useless. Meanwhile, the men may advance to lead local meetings and can become "elders" - typically all white men who are supposedly the advisors of all other local JW's. And if I try to leave my family and everyone of the JW's I grew up knowing will shun me and never speak of or to me again. Help.
