when i was about eight years old a jw lady knocked on our door and my life changed.
up until that time we were a fairly normal family who celebrated christmas and the like.
funny, but i don't remember being upset about not having christmas anymore at that age.
My parents became JW's when I was around 4/5. I have no memories of childhood holidays. Even so, now as an adult, who has only been celebrating the holidays for around 4 years, I LOVE them. I love creating greating memories with my kids. Christmas is my favorite!!
However, I do know what you are talking about because my husband feels the same way. He would be fine if we continued to not celebrate any holidays.
unfortunately, because you live in the u.k., you may not have access to this.
but, if you do, then i think you and every one here should watch it, also, whether you are for, or against us being in iraq.

The soldiers that FOX news is "interviewing" are no doubt scripted. I guaranty you, they (FOX new et al.) don't want to air the interviews of unscripted soldiers and their thoughts on this war and all the "good" that is coming out of it.
My husband is a very gregarious person and a lot of fun to be around. He has a great sense of humor and my greatest fear is that this war (he is currently serving there) will change his perspective and hence his personality. That will be the greatest tragedy in my opinion.
my wife and i have a new cat - a 7 month old blue smoke persian named olly (pedigree name is pannonius olympian).
olympian he is too - weighing in at 5kg already !!.
he's extremely timid, and hides pretty much constantly, meowing (squeaking now cos i think he's made his throat sore, poor mite).

You're a man after my own heart. I hate cats.
.
just want to know if it is normal practice for the elder giving your wedding talk to ask you and your partner if youve had sex, about 1 week before youre due to get married?.
happened to us, and we were f'in shocked!.
Yes we were asked and we said, "No". Believe it or not, we were telling the truth. We did not "indulge" before our wedding night and we are both pretty proud of this fact. Even more proud that we are still together going on 15 years.
kidnappings, torture, rape-all in a day's work for the local insurgent.
and for the most part, one can do nothing.
the two witness rule laughs in your face as these things happen.
Just think in about one month you will be doing unmentionable things to me and I will make you forget all about those nasty Iraqis.
Come home soon my love.

Defd,
I am doing well. Thank you. My little munchkin was extremely over tired and was crying inconsoably (sp?). I finally put shoes on and went outside. Thankfully it is a mild night for the northeast and the passing cars lulled him to sleep. The people in the cars must have thought I was nuts being outside walking in front of my house with a baby at this time of night, but hey whatever works.
Miss Peaches,
That is true, when they are your own it is all good.

I'm here. Do you miss me? Do you even remember me?
I should be sleeping but my baby pulled a "baby night".
i just watched the local bbc news and there was a story about a woman who'd fed her baby while sitting on a public bench.
she finished and was on her way when a police car drew up beside her and asked her to stop.
there had been a complaint.
I nursed all three of my children. I like to be right in the middle of things and refuse to go sit in a corner to feed my baby. I have gotten quite good at nursing in public. No lie, I nursed my last son while bowling. Yes, while I was actually bowling. Throw a blanket over the shoulder and no one can see a thing.
I have never gotten a negative comment when I nursed in public, actually I got praised a few times for it.
"You're better than Viagra".
i'm rather conflicted on this.
what do you guys think?
does this qualify as psychological abuse?
As a mother of a teenager, I know how frustrating it can be to encourage your child to act appropriately. I am very active in my children's lives. I know all of their friends and I can't tell you how many parents just don't care. They just aren't present in their child's lives. I applaud this woman for taking the time to raise her daughter.
I agree with Mrs. Jones, most kids these days could use to learn a little humility. As far as what did this teach the girl, maybe it taught her that there are consequences to ill behavior.
By the way, isn't it the parent's responsibility to embarrass the sh*t out of their kids.
