Always had a problem going out on Xmas Day. FGS, can't we leave them alone ONE day? And then to go out New Year's morning. Madness! Sheer madness! Besides which, when is there a time when all family members would have a day off together? Not JWs - it should be spent 'God-bothering' instead!

Stilla I wasnt criticizing you (forgive me).
Little Witch it is no problem - no forgiveness necessary -- no offense taken and besides I need a little criticism from time to time. Yes I truly hope that commonsense starts to prevail - -it does in some congregations -- but trust me not all. Depends if the Service Committee is old fashioned.

I agree Stilla. The congregation I grew up in was VERY CONSERVATIVE... They wouldnt fart without permission from on high!!!

Strangely I know of a Circuit Overseer that was visiting a congregation over the Christmas week this year and he told the Elders that if not very many showed up they'd just forget it. Then when people did show up he told them to go get some coffee somewhere if they could find it and maybe make a couple of calls and forget it. Unusual attitude for one of those guys.

The only JW family I know went to the mountains for Christmas so their kids could snowboard. That sounds like a reasonable idea. Wait, I wonder if the parents went door to door, while the kids were on the hill?
