Great thread!
Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" makes me really happy, even before I celebrated. I adore it even more now.

And "Merry Christmas Baby"

This touching rendition of "Silent Night" by an older, pensive Frank Sinatra is so sweet to me.

I just saw Tim Minchin live in a small venue this last Monday, and he sang his sweet "White Wine in the Sun," (mentioned earlier in this thread), which is my new favorite. It's continue to plays in my head. His message is what all those "worldy people" were trying to tell me as I tried to preach about how pagan Christmas is. I get it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q

As a JW Did You Often Feel "Guilty" About Something?

I did feel guilty about not doing enough. However thankfully, it was that feeling during a WT study that gave me a moment of clarity and I never went back.
I never felt guilty about my personal actions. Ever.

This religion is about to be toast.
by kneehighmiah inthe governing body is preparing to take a major hit.
this recent watchtower shows it.
not the new understandings, but the article on marriage.

What stands out to me is the picture is showing a relatively young/vibrant age group...no older ones. I think that is on purpose to appeal to a younger crowd and to show what "hip" organization it is. (NOT! Same boring, tedious, destructive message.) I don't think it's a fair or accurate picture of a congregation.
Nice try WT.

Many Member Just Want to Believe
by OnTheWayOut inif you are/were an active jw, you are now here on jwn so, for whatever your reasons, you woke up to some degree- hopefully a great degree.
so what i am saying may not apply to you.. i know that if i had not already left, i would have stormed out on the day they studied "overlapping generation.
" i am quite confident i couldn't have stayed for such an obvious switcharoo just to make the end seem imminent and try to explain how wts was wrong, but not entirely wrong in the past.. but i had to wonder how that change (or others) didn't cause most jw's to walk out.

That's about it. They want it to be true...talking snakes or golden tablets...it's magic and a fairy tale they want to be true.

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

I will donate my corpse to science. I had a cousin who was an oncologist who convinced me of this.
Then I hope my family and friends have a party with my favorite food and they laugh and tell lots of stories.
