Even as a JW I secretly loved Halloween.
Me, too! That was the one holiday that I really really longed to participate in when I was a little girl. For a few
years, Mama and Daddy, allowed us to hand out candy to the kids knocking at our door. Later, they stopped
that, but, I just LOVED the costumes, and, of course, their big bags of goodies, and their laughter and giggles.
I knew I was missing out on so much "kid" fun and then the guilt would take over for even thinking about wanting to do it.
Do you know how many concerts that I missed because certain artists would only come by on a meeting night?
Use 2 ply toilet paper.........awww.
celebrate Holidays and Birthdays and give money to charity. Lilly
So many things big and small.....
- celebrate birthdays/easter/Xmas/Pancake day, but especially buying things for people you love on their special day
- say bless you when someone sneezes
- say cheers/clink glasses (used to do this anyway but always felt slightly guilty)
- lose the guilt
- have a blood transfusion in the face of death
- associate with/love anyone I choose
- reach out to disfellowshipped/fading ones
- question everything
- go to a dance class on a meeting night
- laugh at any jokes without feeling guilty
- get involved in community matters
- stand up and respect the National Anthem
- go and see any movies I choose
- be a buddhist/Christian/Athiest - whatever floats my boat
- therapy
and a million other things.

Can't believe I forgot those.
