  DOES ANYONE STILL NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS???

  by chuckyy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if anyone still does not celebrate xmas since leaving jws.....or like me do you think"to hell with it", and join in the festivities.

  if you do celebrate it, do you still have pangs of guilt for celebrating this "pagan" festival???.

  chukky.

  I have been df'd for four and a half years, and this year is the first year I've had a proper tree indoors.
  
  Last year we had cards and pressies but this year we are going the whole hog. I have 12 people coming over on xmas eve for festive fun.
  
  It still feels weird though, I hate the org for that.

  i had my kids last weekend, and they seemed hapy, and content.

  i called a couple of times earlier this week as usual, to see how they are doing, and got the answering machine.

  no mystery there.

  Oh my god, why are ex wives so evil. My husband has one too although she has never pulled a stunt like this.
  
  My advice is to do whatever your lawyer tells you to and hopefully this will be resolved.

  Welcome to the board Winnie. Your story sounds typical of many who post here. Families like yours justify their dispicable behaviour by putting themselves on a spiritual pedestal. It's all BS.
  
  You can chose your friends but not your relatives, it hurts when they treat you so badly but your conscience is clear. If there is a god, he will judge accordingly.

  Hambeaks Extremely Heartbreaking News

  by Sparkplug in

  2. friends

  our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.

  the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.

  he was in a car accident.

  I am very sad to hear of your son's death Hambeak, it's the worst thing that can ever happen to a parent.
  
  You are in my thoughts, little comfort I know at this difficult time.

  who besides me turned a friend into the elders for something trivial?

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  i told on a girl for liking a worldy boy at school.

  me and another brother actually waited down the street from the boys house to see if she went there after school, just to get some proof for the eders.

  i cant believe i did that:( did anyone else spy on another witness like i did?

  I turned my best friend in for having an abortion. Noone knew, not even her family.
  
  It made me feel like shit, but the elders bullied it out of me. They knew something was going on in her life and they knew they could get to me to give them the information they wanted.
  
  She was DA'd even though she wasn't baptised. I haven't spoken to her since and this happened 20 years ago.

  Anything from the Clarins counter would be a good idea (I work for Clarins and am thinking of the commission if everyone takes up my idea!)

  How should I report zero hours for November?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was my topic november 3rd;.

  for the first time in my jw history, i turned in a slip with a big zero written in every column,.

  turned it over and wrote "zero tracts" below that, i wrote "stumbled by the co".

  I think you should report 100 hours and see what they have to say about that. If they question you on the matter just say that you did it to raise concern amongst the sherherds in the congregation, and since reporting zero got no reaction at all you decided on something a little less believable.

  shunning for blood

  by Mable in

  is it true that people aren't shunned for accepting blood?

  i heard that this is left to the individual's conscience?

  They are getting too much bad publicity over the blood issue including some jws suing the org. Perhaps that's why they've adopted this mushy new 'rule'. It's easier than scrapping the blood ruling altogether, that would cause too much of a backlash.
