Can you say:
God Bless You?
Happy Birthday?
Merry Christmas?
Happy Valentines Day?
Are there any of these or others that you still cannot bring yourself to say even though you are no longer a JW?

Well, I don't say "god bless you" as I do not believe in it.
I no longer censor my speech, though, and the word LUCKY rolls off my tongue very easily, along with all the holiday greetings!
I am LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY! It's now one of my favorite words, has been for about 20 years.

Can you say:
God Bless You? Yes, and I love to say it in front of my parents and watch their reactions when my kids say it - always good for a giggle
Happy Birthday? Yep
Merry Christmas? Oh yeah, love that one
Happy Valentines Day? Oh heck yeah, and I love getting cards and candy from the hubby and kids
Are there any of these or others that you still cannot bring yourself to say even though you are no longer a JW? hmmm....No
