    Hmmm... I think it was reading here and then having a pseudo christmas. The following year we had a propper christmas.

    first - visited a lot of churches. Dated - that means sex of course - went to bars and night clubs with friends - investigated Buddhism - quit wearing a bra, quite wearing dresses - bras, pantyhose, high heels NO MORE. Actually more sedate than it sounds - went out with groups of friends to dance and drink, no one got drunk, no driving under the influence, no drugs. Just FUN - what a concept.

    In order:

    (1) Listening to rap music, including all the swearing.

    (2) Getting Led Zeppelin's box set and listening to it.

    (3) Purging my closet of any suits that have seen better days. Also, I shredded all the littera-trash that would fit in my shredder.

    (4) Bought a 8-ball.

    (5) Bought a Ouija board instead of going to the Crapmorial.

    (6) Bought into a "secret society" that stresses independent thinking (one can hardly build a cult around that).

    (7) Bought a computer, and actually went online.

    (8) Looked at the apostate web sites on purpose, and joined one of the forums.

    (9) Ordered Christmas decorations, which became an ongoing process all through 2007.

    (10) Ordered and read Crisis of Conscience.

    Welcome...............I celebrated christmas and gave my youngest child (who was born after i became a witness) a birthday present. It was his first. I also started to read more books, judge less, associate with 'worldly' and disfellowshipped people, and vote..........just to name a few. Cheers, Bliss

    Stopped going to the meetings, conventions, and assemblies and participating in the artificial ministry of jws.

    I wouldn't do something just because the WTS forbids it. I would keep in mind my health, mental and physical, when making changes.
