well it's my first christmas and i am excited!!!!

i am shopping for giftola's, and on saturday the b/f bought me my very first christmas tree!

hurrah!!!!.

Well, I don't live at home, so I do as I damn well want. My father looks at the lights in my windows and the tree with daggers in his eyes, but he knows why I decided to celebrate the holidays, I explained it clearly.

He and my mother are living together, so she tries not to make him overly upset..he is already ticking about a let it snow decoration and chrysenta...(what's that red winter flower's name!?) in the kitchen. Thought since the daycare is in the basement, we have one of those mini-trees there. And let me tell you it's decorated for all it's worth! It looks pretty cute!

Merry Christmas! Have a blessed Yule and a Happy Saturnalia!

Are you a creature of habit?

by findingmyway in

i just realized that i am a creature of habit and routine.

i almost cannot function unless somethings in my life are consistently the same from one day to the next.

i have been known to eat the same thing for breakfast an lunch every day of the week.

Lilycurly

Might be....and maybe it's the reason I'm like that too. But perhaps some people are just born that way...

I really need a routine and to know what will happen. Makes me feel secure when I know I'm going grocery shopping on Monday, take a coffe with my mother on Friday, go to the movies on Saturday, watch mostly the same shows everyday. I need that, and I feel safe with that.... I don't really like surprises that mess with my schedule.lol Some people might find me kind of boring, actually!

The Watchtower Advises...

by Nosferatu in

i couldn't figure out whether to put this in "research", "humor" or "adult".

however, since i had to do research to compile it, it ended up here...awake!

1. wash your hands with soap and water after contact with feces and before handling food.. .

Lilycurly

Finally-Free- Great one! lol, don't know why, but that shit-themed humor is having me bent over my desk in fits of laughters, tears and all.hihihi

Encounters with Jehova's Witnesses

by religion_other in

hi, i'm not a jw but i wanted to write about the few encounters i've had with people handing out the watchtower.

over here in the uk, it's something of a joke, the dreaded knock on the door and aargh!

it's the jehova's witnesses.

Lilycurly

Hi there!

Glad to "see" a new face! Stick around and you'll soon discover that there is much more then this magazine-handing habit that is freaky with those people. (I should know, I was one.)

JW acting skills put to the test

by watch the tower in

i've completely stopped taking part in any jw activities for close to a year now and will be visiting my jw family for the next couple of weeks.

they have no idea that i have become "apostate".

for all they know i am still an active jw.

Lilycurly

I had this dream that came back a lot the first months I was out. And it was a bit like your story. I was at the Hall and wondering what the heck I was doing there. All dressed up and certain that it was not the truth...and yet I was there. Very traumatizing, I wouldn't want to be you. Good luck!

Do you believe that Religion benefits mankind?

by jeanniebeanz in

.

or is it a detriment to society?.

i'm sure this has been asked before, but since there are so many new people here i'll ask again.... j

Lilycurly

As most of you said...being spiritual should be sufficient.

But as far as religion goes, what I think makes a religion beneficial is:

1. Must bring positiveness and no negativity to the follower

2.Must not try push their beleives (or kill!) those from a different opinion

3. Must accept those with a different faith and accept that those other faiths can work for other people.

A couple of thoughts on the whole global flood thing...

by Hecklerboy in

jw

i was watching the history channel this weekend and they had a show on the global flood story.

it was pretty interesting, mostly the same old stuff and some commentators from different religions.

while i was watching this, two thoughts kept coming to mind:.

Lilycurly

I don't beleive in the story anyway...but that's a very intersting point to ask to someone who beleives. Because witnesses in particular always answer that God let Adam and Eve (and the rest of the humanity) live and suffer to show that humans can't rule over themselves....but then he goes and floods all the evil people a few hundred years after? Sounds illogic and pointless to me...
