I always wanted to celebrate the Holidays, I got tired of my friends at school asking me why I don't paticipate. I got tired of it because I went to so many different schools. My parents would always take me shopping during Xmas break for new clothes so that I had something new to wear at school to ease the pain. Yet, because they beat the crap out of me, I suppose they did it out of gulit looking back on it.
One year, they woke me up at 2:00am in the morning and told me we were going on a surprise vacation. When on the plane, the pilot said we were landing in Orlando, I asked my mom & dad, where is Orlando, what language do they they speak there-LOL. We obviously went to Disney World.
On some Halloweens, my non-JW aunt would sneak and take me trick-or treating, she would just use a little makeup, she made me a cat, or a mouse just my face only just so I could have a little fun.
My parents always reminded me of the 2 people in the bible that celebrated B-days, yadda yadda...how silly to think if it now.

Why's everybody getting divorced????!
by homeschool inthis is insanity!
literally four couples that i know closely & personally have told me in the last two weeks that they are divorcing their spouses.
and there are a couple on here whom i've discovered are separating as well (these two i do not know personally, but i'm a little surprised & saddened regardless).

Farrah Faucet had said this once, "marriage takes the romance out of a relationship"...I read this recently, I am not sure I disagree.

weight loss
by John Doe inhow fast is too fast?
i decided i'm tired of being overweight last week, so i went on a diet and started exercising.
i'm eating anywhere from 1,200 to 1,700 calories per day.

John Doe-
It really depends on how overwieght you are. You may have lost 12 lbs in one week because you are doing what you are doing (most likely you have lost water weight, this always goes the fastest in the beginning), which is great...if you continue do this, you will not keep losing 12 lbs in 1 week, you will eventually level off, and perhaps get to a plateau.
Just remember if you excersize regularly, you need to eat...but for now, you seem OK.
Eventually when you get to the weight you want to be at, and you are still exercising...you may want to increase your calorie intake...since you are burning off calories excersing...
Congrats...I think you are doing great!
I too started regularly exercising 1/1/08, and I have never felt better in my life, it is good for the mind, body, soul, and spirit. There is no religious reference in that statement on my part.

Why did you pick your avator or username?
by cognac inwell, i picked my username because that's what i saw in front of me and i like the way it sounded.
no real story behind that.
i picked my avator because that's the way i felt.

What Was YOUR Worst Quality As A JW?
by minimus infor me it had to be that i was trained to be judgmental.
i'm naturally a person who doesn't believe everything someone says---just because they say it's true.
still, a "good elder" is supposed to be watchful of what might "contaminate" the congregation.. so, it's time to bare your soul.

How many Witness families do you know that still shun their children?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy congregation had many teens that were disfellowshipped.
none of them have been back to the meetings.
they either got married or moved out of their parents home.. it saddens me that i haven't seen any of them at any family functions.

I have not seen my dad since 1992. I did not see my mom from 1992-2000, she was DFd in 2000. I was their only child.
It is sad...you get over it to a certain extent...its bearable...its just mind boggling to understand how could a parent do that to their child...I have 3 of my own...I could never even think of doing that to them...
As for mom, we have to deal with the after effects, she missed out on 8 years of my life...hers too...she is a different person than what I remember...that is difficult to take...I posted about it the other day on another thread...

If Jamie is referring to Paul Carlson, I do not see how he was removed. In 1990, he was our book study conductor at our house. He did not show up with his family to conduct the book study as an elder. So, my dad took over that night. This was not like Paul. The following Sunday, he was due to give a talk at the Addison, IL hall and he did not show up with his family...he was still an active elder.
That Sundy was when my parents and others knew something was wrong. That night, my dad found the bodies of Paul & Sandy because the cop could not fit through the window.
