  camping, fishing, swimming in the creek.
  Playing in a desert wash for hours with my brother and sister- pretending it was a magical place.
  Family bike rides around town then to get ice cream.
  My mom rocking me for hours when I'd get sick...

  Be honest, Do you really Enjoy Christmas?

  dansk's christmas tree thread got me to thinking .. in this house we do not celebrate since my wife is still a die hard dub.

  i have no complaints about that, it was our joint choice for decades and i an the one that changed .but as witnesses we were always given the negative view of the holiday time :-.

  "people feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to".

  "People feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to"
  
  "They get so stressed by it all that they secretly admire us (J W's) and wish they could join us and not celebrate"
  
  "They eat too much, drink too much, waste money on presents that are not wanted and then spend all year paying it off"

  
  I used to think that when I was a witness, what's funny is being out, the reality is the people I know in my life don't feel that way. Especially when it comes to the kids, they think it's really sad Witnesses don't celebrate for the children.
  
  Another laughable misconception since I've been out (which isn't related to this but is still interesting) is the old JW belief that "the world thinks witnesses are without sin" or that they're perfect. Most of my worldly friends that are older have laughed when reading my parents letter to me about that; because they admitted that's definitely not the case- a bunch of fanatical, strange people they've said, but never perfect or without sin...

  There is so much pain...

  i don't know why things in life happened...i don't know why i was born in the most destructive cults ever existed.

  my childhood was so miserable...is not nice to see the other kids at your age celebrating xmas and birthdays and other holidays.

  my whole world was somewhere between kindom hall and field service with my pioneers parents.. i hardly finished high school because i was supposed to live in the generation that by no means will pass way.

  by Clam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  champagne bottles come in a variety of sizes and are given specific names.

  can anyone from the jwd brain trust suggest what the naming theme is?

  nabuchadnezzar (20 bottles) nebuchadnezzar, originally nabu-kudurri-usur meaning "nabu protect the boundary," became king of the chaldean empire in 604 bc.
