It helps to talk to other people who have the same thoughts.
It makes you realize your not crazy the religion is!!!
If it was the truth what were they so afraid I would learn?
I love this question, witnesses will give you a nice blank stare if you ask them this. -

wecome nomore.. You might ask your self "why wouldn't I celebrate X?" If your hesitation to do so is based on JW indoctrination, you might want to through your ideas out hear and see how quickly they evaporate under the heat of examination..
Just a thought to help you get rid of the innoculation.

Welcome, Nomore....we went through the same thing with our kids, when we left. For the first 2 years, we celebrated the holidays, but just didn't decorate, until the kids became more accustomed to it. As far as my family who are still "in", we just simply do not discuss any holidays that we celebrate, other than anniversaries.(How glum) It will become easier for you, and your children, as time goes on, and you sort out what you do believe in, and what you don't believe in.Eventually, ( our kids), grew older and decided for themselves, that they no longer wanted to go to the KH with the grandparents. Hugs to you....I hope you stay here.

Welcome
Kids bounce back easier than we adults do. Be glad that you and your daughter are out while she is so young. Be honest with her and tell her that you are a little confused about your beliefs right now--kids are a lot more intelligent than we give them credit for. I would be really careful about how much exposure you let her have in attending meetings though--you might try making special plans for you and her to spend time together and let her aunt or grandma know you are too busy.
