Whew - lady liberty I take my hat off to you girl!!! So very well done - you should definately hold your head up proud, you stood your ground and you took them on!!!!!!
Reading your story really brought back a lot of anger - they way they lie - it's like their last resort - they will lie lie lie to get you out.
I feeling like nailing something to the door of the local JWs.

All for what? So they could gain back control of your lives. And, when they saw the Christmas lights, they were envious that they couldn't participate in it. Of course they didn't have the fortitude to tell the truth and say that it was for "idolatry" (since to them, celebrating Christmas amounts to idolatry). They had to wait all that time, they didn't answer legitimate questions about 607 (and yet they hate when you go to independent sources to get that answer). Family ties aside, you are better off now.
Hopefully, that will be the end of them for good. I advise you not to ever go back, since they didn't answer your important questions and they are full of lies and wretched integration. You are better off in the apostate community. At least none of us will come around to throw eggs at your house and vandalize Frosty. Just goes to show what those pedophile-supporting witlesses are really made of.
And, while you were wrapping Christmas presents, at least you were doing absolutely nothing to contribute to support of pedophiles. To me, actively and volitionally going out in field circus or donating any money to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund amounts to molesting children, whether you actually molest any yourself or not. You are much better off to have as big a Christmas display as you can afford every year. At least that way people will know you are not still a witless.
As I live in an apartment complex, I cannot put lawn ornaments out or a Santa and reindeer on the roof, decorate the exterior of the building, put candy canes along the walkway, or do inflatables. However, I have put extra Christmas lights directly in the windows once I heard about the pedophile scandal. Now, I have probably the most decorated windows in the complex, and probably more than 98% of those in the community have displayed. I would rather "worship the sun" than be associated with that embarrassment.

The story they (the elders) will tell will be So o o o o h !! Different.
They will now write a report to the branch about this, that report is what YOU need to get hold of.
In the UK you can use the Data protection act, I don't know about your area.
I obtained a letter written by my wife's elders, the lies were atrocious.

Nicely handled. A good start towards a very merry christmas. If you feel a bit gutted every now and then, that's normal for a disfellowshippee.
You're going to be great.

LL....after my "origins and foundations" post you read, and after me reading the "pinata origins dont matter WT material" I wish you would meet with them about the Christmas DF rule. JUST TO PISS THEM OFF AND MAKE THEM LOOK STUPID! PLEASE! You are smart and articulate and a good debater. Can these guys even meet with just you and no other woman present....I would say they tried to touch your peepee too! Do you really think these guys would be ready....to prove from the bible....that someone who wants to honor the birth of Jesus CHRIST would be unChristian??????? That would be a riot....You are confused.....like 607 you are curious as to why not....help me understand Bro. Shoesalesman (not that theres anything wrong with that!).
And Biblically btw, please show me what is wrong with any birthday celebration or anniversary of important event. Can they prove ANY of the ancient crap??? Is the date 12-5 off??? Well cant we celebrate this great mans birth on the GENERALLY ACCEPTED DATE FOR CENTURIES kinda like we dont know how to say JEHOVAH BUT THAT IS THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED WAY TO SAY IT AND MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT?!?!?!......PLEASE Lady L pop a xanax and step up to the plate and make these guys WORK...earn their keep....maybe even actually use their brain instead of reading 5 sentences from a manual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........................oompa.....I wrote all that LOUD BTW

Yep-----typical cult mentality. They had absolutely nothing to defend their pathetic actions beyond the standard "....the Craptower says Christmas is pagan so we're DFing you..."
Assholes.
