If you are an adult you should not be living at home.  If you have money for a cell phone and a tablet as well as the monthly charges, you have enough money to move out on.  If you are an adult, your parents cannot stop you from moving out.   As long as you are living in your parent's house, you should abide by their rules. 

[MeCajunboy]

Since we don't know your true age I can respond as the other in two ways.   "adult"  means more than just being of a rightful age.   It sounds as though your parents feel you are not responsible let at this time to allow you rights or access to the Internet.   Without information we won't be able to make better insight on your matter.   Basically,  if you merely wanted to come on Worthy boards to vent and you communicated tgat with your parents then you are within your rights. 

Tomorrow will be a whole new day in an new light.   You're not the only one steaming right now.    Have your priorities in order first,  communicate as much as you can with parents,  co-workers,  bossed,  and God.   And watch your life flourish and blossom.   Fight city hall and all access will be closed...

Try this.   Try love,  understanding and compassion.   As long as you are under your parents roof they have to be responsible for any negative actions or problems you may incur or cause.   Can you be sued at your present age,  if no then that means your parents will be sued if all is not handled in accordance with all laws.   God bless and prayers coming your way.

If your 18 or older then you can move but people mature at a different rate. I was diffrent because I just lived with my Father and I was more like a roommate. I paid half of the rent. I moved out at 22. Try not to be angry. It will be pass. But you said you were kick out of church. So it had to be kind of bad what you said. Maybe it cause your parents a lot of trouble. I do know saying things in public online is not Gods will. The better way would be to talk it over with someone at church in private . And pray to the Lord about it too. God loves you so don't feel too bad. I would go to the pastor and apologize and try to work it out. And wait on your parents for awhile. They will get over it. And you will get your tablet back too in good time. Then God will be please for you. Prayers for you.

I agree. If he is older than 18 he can move out,get a job and pay rent and pay all his bills. Then no one will ever take his phone and tablet away again.

If the worst thing in your life is that your parents took away your phone and tablet ...

Count your blessings. 

Others face terminal diseases, abuse, disasters, war.

My psycho parents took my phone and tablet that I paid for with my own money because I was kicked out of church for venting online about people there excluding me. So I bought a new tablet and phone but then my mom just walked into my room without knocking while I was using my tablet and saw me try to hide it and walked in further saying what are you hiding, demanded to see it and took it away from me too. (I am posting this on a new phone I bought that my mom didnt see because it was in my purse at the time).Then they told me I'm not allowed out of the house in the afternoon after work for a MONTH! First of all, they took MY phone and tablet that I paid for in the first place which they had NO right to do, so I wouldn't have had to buy a new one and hide it if they hadn't taken mine away. And to not let me out of the house that makes NO sense they don't need to treat me look me like some child or criminal all for simply venting online!! I am an adult and those are my things and they can't keep me prisoner either!! Also, now I just wasted money on a new tablet that I can't return and get my money back because I bought it more than two weeks ago and they won't accept returns after two weeks. And my parents won't let me move out either, nor can I afford to move out anyway.

So...

1) Rather than talk to the people you felt excluded you in church and find out what was really happening with that, you posted about them online instead.

2) You got kicked out of church for that, " so you went out and bought a new phone and tablet" (I'm assuming your folks confiscated your first tablet and phone, unless you felt getting kicked out of church is an occasion for buying new expensive gadgets).

3) Your mom confiscated those and grounded you for buying them.

4) You called your parents "psycho" for punishing you.

 

Did it ever occur to you that you were wrong?

 

Here's what you need to do:

1) Apologize to God and ask His forgiveness.

2) Apologize to and ask the people in your former church's forgiveness whom you "vented" about online for doing that to them, and not having the decency to speak to them one on one.

3) Apologize to and ask your pastor's forgiveness for causing such a debacle (not to mention the congregation for embarrassing the whole church wrongly).

4) Apologize to and ask your parents' forgiveness for sneaking behind their back and buying these items without talking to them first, and for calling them names.

5) Refrain from doing any of your previous sins, or calling anyone else names.

well, theyre right, you have been venting about people in church online. frequently. and not just on one sight, but several-you copy and paste your complaints to pretty much every christian forums board (and a few not christian) that you can find, and ignore any and all advice given to you, this is what the Bible calls "gossip" and its a sin. You were not seeking advice, you were willingly gossiping about the people in your church all over the internet, instead of dealing with the matter in a Christlike manner, and if you were caught, the church had every right to throw you out, regardless of who made the original transgression-2 wrongs do not make a right.

If you are living at home, regardless of how old you are, you are under your parents authority, which means going out and buying a new phone and tablet to bypass their rules, just to gossip about them online (what got you in trouble in the first place) is dishonering your parents-and again a sin. You need to either move out-or go to your parents and your church-and apologize for your actions, and get right with God.

Proverbs 16:28

A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends

Exodus 20:12

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

It can be tough both as a younger person, and as a young adult still living at home. While I see the point you are making about you purchasing those items with your own money, and the fact that some people at church were excluding you, the fact that you vented online about your church is what is most damaging here. Or to me it is. Churches aren't perfect. As much as we would like to be able to go to church and just be ourselves, not have to put our gaurd up, and be comfortable. . . sadly, alot of times we can't. Or a better way to say it is not everybody that goes to church goes for the right reason. Remember the lesson about the supper honoring Jesus after He raised Lazarus from the dead? There were several types of people there. Martha, of course was serving. Just like when Jesus was at her home. She felt it was better for her to be busy serving, that being with Jesus. Then there was Judas. His main concern was the cost of the sweet ointment. He could not have cared less that he was once again in the presence of Jesus. Lazarus was fresh out of the grave, but it just says he was at the table with Jesus. . .fellowshipping. And then there were several others there to see Lazarus, the freak, the side show. All the people mentioned so far were there in His presence, but for the wrong reason. But Mary was there to worship. She didn't care what the others were doing, how they acted, or what they thought. That was on them. She was there to worship Him. . . and the aroma of her worshipful attitude filled the house. I'm not getting on to you, I'm just telling you that is how I was for a long time. Then I realized the purpose for church is to worship. And I want my worship to be evident. . .all over His house. I'm praying for you.
