I used to go to church quite a lot. Wasn't forced into it, just seemed kindof peaceful most of the time in there.
Now though, I just feel cold even looking at a church. They don't approve of my lifestyle in there, so I'm not going in there anymore.
As for forcing you to go.. Technically, you don't really have any legal rights there until you turn 18 unless she is being abusive to make you go (Or by making you go if your church is an extremely weird one) But, that doesn't mean you have to stop arguing with her about it. There just isnt anyhting you can do about it.
If it were another religion, then talking to the bishop/pastor/other leader guy, might help.. Since most religions do not want unwilling people inside as it disrupts the serenity they try to create... But, the Jehova's Witnesses are generally very forceful and demanding when it comes to trying to convert you.. Me and my friends have done some pretty funny things to make them go away in the past :P
