It is sad for all of the children born or drug into the cult. But take heart; more leave than stay with the JW's. This year I'm celebrating Easter with a few relatives who have successfully faded but shall remain nameless lest they get df'd for coming to my house for a pagan celebration!

Velvetann, that first photo is priceless.
Growing up, I never really felt that I missed out on anything regarding holidays, birthdays etc.
But now i have a three year old, and it is so much fun on her birthday and christmas, I just love seeing her get soooo excited.

Adorable photo. You do look excited. I love the wide-eyed innocence of children. I raised my children without holidays, but "created" some of our own. We had regular occassions where we exchanged gifts, had special foods and family time together.
I think the important thing is to create family traditions and togetherness. If I could go back, I would use the holidays to add to that. Growing up is hard enough without making a child an outcast by teaching them all the holidays are somehow evil.
Most of my children are still dubs and say they missed out on nothing. Wish I knew how to get through to them. As a fader, I can't even celebrate holidays openly. The control of the cult runs very deep. You can say I am a chicken, but I love my children too much to lose contact with them. They know I don't believe it, but don't want to talk about it.
