  My JW mother used to peel the cross off the hot cross buns at easter time...she said it was her way of compromising...so that we werent partaking of anything pagan. Did anyone have parents like mine...or am I the only one??

  What was your understanding of easter eggs and hot cross buns at easter time? My mother felt that if she didn't peel the cross off..then we as kids wouldn't learn to keep away from pagan traditions....however...her conscience felt no pangs of guilt to buy and consume easter eggs...her opinion was that they were just chocolate eggs. When I would say 'but aren't hot cross buns just fruit buns?' she would ignore me.

  What did you all have to endure as kids at easter time??

  the same thing we endured at every holiday... don't do anything till after the official date passed, then go and buy all the clearance candy!

  My mother buys "Peeps" every year (marshmallow chicks are what they are) she opens them, sets them on the kitchen counter, and lets them get stale for 3 days before she eats them... YUCK...
  I remember she took them in her lunch out in service once... she caught alot of hell, so she never did that again....

  I remember there was an elder who had a bakery.

  Every easter he would make hot cross buns, but would call them "sticky fruit" buns....

  Guess that explains why he sold the business after 2 years.

  Nyt,
  You could bring me to a healthier state by pi$$ing off to the meeting like a good JW boy that you are.

  nytelecom1 is nothing more than a wasted ejaculation!
  This isn't a personal attack.
  Buttholes like nytelecom1 come about when their parents don't use protection.
  It's wise for adults to use protection when they may conceive a beyatch like nytelecom1.
  This is not a personal attack...
