Do you still feel any guilt for celebrating a birthday or holiday or associating with "worldly" people or doing anything that the Watchtower has inculcated as being wrong????

I don't feel guilt. I do heavily regret ever having been mixed up in Jehovah's Witnesses though.

I still feel awkward singing happy birthday. However I get a real kick out of being involved in these celebrations.
I do feel guilty when my mum knows I am celebrating xmas & birthdays with my boyfriend and friends.... But I feel like i have to tell her. I am not going to hide what i am doing...

I haven't gotten around to the admitting I'm celebrating b-days or xmas to my mum or family. So I do feel guilty about witholding the truth, but it's a small price to pay for peace and quiet. I think my family see not going to meetings and living my life as one thing(maybe they think I'm just rebelling), but celebrating holidays would be crossing a line, and that line could get me chucked out, I've kinda grown accustomed to living with a roof over me...
