Posted this in JW News and Events but meant to post it here.
Please read and give your comments. I have been on this new job for the past 10 months and when i went there i was still a loyal JW and told them I did not celebrate holidays and birthdays. Being a WT slave for the past 27 years just recently (4/5 months) took off the physical chains but still have the mental shackles on to a degree. Anyway my boss mentioned my birthday yesterday to me and i said i don't celebrate it but this year i am thinking of doing so. Listen to these words of a wordly woman! She said i don't celebrate mine either as far as parties or anything but i take the time to thank God that he has allowed me to live another year and think how i might use the life he has given me to make improvements for the future and to be of service him and others. Boy I thought that was unique and from a wordly woman at that! So today i am celebrating 53 years of life and FREEDOM! NO LONGER A SLAVE PHYSICALLY AND WORKING ON MENTALLY! Thanks for listening.
