I had to log-in with Firefox........IE wouldn't work anymore.
I was used to the old layout but I guess have to cope with change.

They like to play the game that they don't do this or that, but do it anyway and call it something else.

Maybe they have that "Rule" so they catch all the sales after the "Worldly People Holidays".

Oh well...........................I have never seen Jesus' Birth Certificate but I'm going to still say tomorrow is his Birthday. I have believed that for the last 50+ years and it's been working good so far. Well that's up until our boy was told different. They do accept the stat. pay from their job for the said holidays and they believe that's all good.

who would draw a hand like that?.

You see.......If you look closely in the Santa Pic, the little girl on the right lost one hand. So her sister figured she would help her out and show everyone how they really feel.

I know your parents are looking over you now and being so proud you woke up from the Cult-Club.

Does your Daughter see you at Christmas?

Oh, and.................Have a Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year.

J-Dubbed-I love your name and welcome to the forum.

I went back and looked at some of your posts. The one about your son being mad about being lied to about Santa, etc. made me remember feeling the same. It's hard to remember back that far. When I became a JW I was 21 and now I am 63.

I do wish to tell you that initially my parents and I argued a lot. This really only made me dig my heels in further. You know how it is when you are young and on your "high horse." You mentioned in an earlier post that you were going to have coffee with your son. How did that go?

My best advice is to tell your son how proud of him you are (swallow hard) and try to get him to feel good about himself. Wish I could offer more than that. Just don't get him on the defensive

Very Spooky......Quandry, with your post it feels like looking at a "Carbon Copy" of what we went through and are still going through. Especially about the argueing and you diggin' in deeper.

He's been to my shop a couple times now for coffee with just me and it's been alright so far. I talk nice to him. I don't ask about or talk about his J-Dub Wife or the Cult Club. He even asked me to stop by his house to see a car project he is going to work on. I went to his garage and did give him a lot of praise on his new toy.

The problem is I want to see him, meet with him, and do my own "Love Bombing" but I do not want to be in the same room with his J-Dub Wife. How can this be accomplished without pissing him off? I didn't come out and tell him I don't want to see or talk to his bride, I just try to avoid it to ever happen. I want to tell him to come over with his little 2 year old girl but don't bring the wife.......Not sure how to handle that part. So far just trying 1 on 1 between him and I.

Quandry that's exactly how I see what's left of my life. The wife and I having Christmas's without our Son. If and when he finally awakes........But we're gone.

I see my son in your shoes, exactly. Except I don't think I'll have another thirty years.....

What a waste.
