I've haven't been bothered by the elders and have been putting out lights for 20 years. I faded 30 years ago and still haven't been DF'd.
My now deceased dad always said while laughing, "this is the perfect time for Jehovah to bring armageddon. All he has to do is look for the houses with Christmas lights and then he knows who to destroy."
Ahhh the good ole days.
Currently my JW sister gets upset this time of year because worldly people are not suffering and are actually having fun and celebrating. LOL
