  it's been at least a couple years since i've posted anything on here, and much longer than that since when i was active.

  ten years ago i first came here all in turmoil over my disillusionment of my beliefs.

  i've been through lots of ups and downs since then.

  I remember you. Sorry you're going through this.
  

  Have you considered seeing a counselor to work through these issues with a uninvolved person? It could help you make a decision.

  all that jesus spoke about in matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century.

  christmas means nothing to me.

  i have no abiding, cosy, childhood memories of it.. i don't buy presents or cards....i have to be reminded.. i feel a bit weird.

  people are celebrating and saying: 'i'm feeling christmassy.'.

  It's ok to feel and do what you do now.

  If you wanted to, you could make up your own little traditions.

  It's solstice and the end of the year--time to beat the long nights by curling up with a warm drink and some pretty lights or candles. Or a fireplace. There are seasonal foods--a special treat only at this time of year.

  You could use your day off to treat yourself to a nice meal, nature walk or movie.

  And remind yourself it's another year of freedom for you.

  Gosh, I am not remembering this. I knew it is in the bible, but IIRC, they never enforced it. All jws did for fun is eat, it seemed!

  Watchtower 1978 12/15 p.9 "He may make it impossible for diners to eat to satisfaction.

  Who? Are they trying to say Saaaatan is making people overeat?

  "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

  if you've never come across the above title before, it's considered to be the shortest novel possible.

  a story, possibly a moving one, in just 6 words attributed to earnest hemingway.. it started a genre called "flash fiction" which is a memoir in six-words.. what would yours be?.

  indoctrinated child found freedom, love, family.

  Now it all makes sense.

  Sick people do these things. Sick people. I hope they get caught and are punished.
