Hey Yeah!
What Dave said!!! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Amen
i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.
some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.
most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

This is our very first year putting up a tree :) I just couldn't tell the kids no anymore! Why should they not have Christmas because their mommy and daddy grew up in a weird religion that they don't even believe in anymore. I remember last year my one son came home from school (they were 5 at the time) And he said "You know what mommy?" And I said "No what honey?" And he said "Did you know that Christmas is the BEST time of the year!!!!" His little face was so full of joy...but me still being "betweenworlds" gave some lame ass answer like "well honey, some people think so, but yadadada...I don't even remember all of what I said. All I really remember is that when I looked at him again the effect was that I had taken the wind out of his sails. Never again!!!! They were so thrilled when we brought the tree home and they got to help put the decorations on
The tree makes the house smell very lovely and it just makes my heart happy to look at it
guess this makes me offically firmly planted on this big beautiful world and not floating somewhere between
my boy!!!!
this is his pic for the school album, he was voted most handsome.
ok i'm a proud daddy..
Very handsome indeed!!
Thanks for sharing :)
merry x-mas folks!

Merry Christmas Kent!!!

i joined this site last week hoping to meet people that would steer me back to the organization.
instead the people i have talked to her are all trying to tell me too see the light and get out of the organization.
in my opinion, not that it matters, i really think that if a person had the truth deeply ingrained in them, they would never leave the truth.
Wow Dave! Thanks for posting that info. That is fascinating :) I'm printing it out.
I'm going through a book now called 101 myths of the bible, which is also very interesting! It's goes through 101 different stories of the old testament and shows how that they were almost certainly derived from various Egyptian, Sumerian and other more ancient stories and myths.
Thanks!

i could not handle all the rules and regulations
Hey Zolensky :) Welcome to the board!
About what you said above, That is one of the main things that bothers me about the Watchtower society. All the rules and regulations! They claim to be christian, but in fact act more like the pharisees in regards to all the regulations that they have. Jesus did not require his followers to obey a bunch of laws. All he wanted is for them to believe in him and to love their neighbors as themselves :) The Watchtower society tries to follow a great deal of the mosaic law, and be christian at the same time. It just doesn't work though! The Jesus portrayed in the bible didn't follow the letter of the law. He was patient and tolerant.
Well hope that you find happiness and peace in whatever path you choose. I'm still looking and learning, which I think is why we are here on the earth.
Take care
