  greetings to you all from scotland!

  it's nice to finally be able to say hello to you all, having been a long time reader of the forum.. i put off signing up as i didn't feel i had much to contribute, but if i'm honest, seeing atlantis' post about confidential information pushed me into it.. i hope i can get round to writing my story - i always enjoy reading others and it never ceases to amaze me how many have had similar experiences.. so there goes my first post!.

  First Ex-JW Experience with XMas Spirit

  so obviously as a recently parting jw, i've never had the hastle, the annoyance or the joy of experiencing christmas.

  this year in our office was the first time that we did a secret santa, so i would joke with a few of the people looking for advice because i had never really celebrated christmas.

  it was kind of a fun running joke for the past month or two, as they laughed and pitied over my past with me, which they pried about and i explained.

  So glad to hear it, CoCo! I hoped so.

  Sheesh, Talesin! Beautiful and terrifying! Alas, I am no stranger to night-terrors... (nor insomnia, I'm afraid.)

  scarce in my youth had feet touched on earth,.

  intent, so i was, to vanquish all that held me.

  painfully fast to misery in flesh and a sorrow.

  A milestone for my Grandson, David

  david turned 18 yesterday.

  (he is the one who walked from orlando, fl to washington, dc a little over 3 years ago on behalf of homeless children) i wrote about that on the forum back then.

  what i didn't write about is that david has grown up without a father....not because he doesn't exist, but because his father has chosen to live his life of drugs and violence.

  it feels really good.

  there was a teenager who dropped me off his facebook right before he got df'd (i guess he thought i'm a true believer) and i was hoping i might run into him.

  sure enough i saw him the other day out and about.
