Lasagna sounds great! So what if it isn't a traditional Christmas dinner? A co-worker of mine doesn't like turkey that much, so she has made it a tradition to serve stuffed shells every year. Her whole family looks forward to it.

How about home made chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes? Or a really tender beef roast with potatoes and carrots? Or a yummy chicken casserole?

findoutnow - who are you? That's kind of a strange first post to make on an ex-JW site. What's your story?
It is what is known as "programming your sleep to know The Truth".
Whatever.

Stupid things you thought as a JW
by JWdaughter inok growing up jw, i was clueless about how 'the world' worked.
i had some weird ideas that took a long time to dispell.
one that i got fairly quickly, and embarassingly was when at school, after easter vacation (still was that, then!

DA'd over 3 months ago; not one word from the borg . . .
by exwitless inwe sent our da letter on 9/10/06.
the first week or so, i lived in fear of the phone ringing or someone knocking on the door, wanting to help us "see reason".
i know they got the letter, because the previous annoying phone calls and uninvited visits from an elder abruptly came to a stop.

Thanks. Our former congregation was never great about "shepherding the flock" even to take care of active ones. At a Circuit Assembly several years ago, two elders from our cong. gave their "experiences" about shepherding; they bragged about how they make sure to make shepherding calls at least once a year to everyone in the cong. I snorted out loud when they said that, considering in the 14 years we were in, they only visited us 2-3 times at most, and that was when we were actually doing OK. Liars!
Anyway, I'm sure that were just 2 less people they have to account for when the CO comes to visit and asks what the elders are doing to shepherd the flock. We are very much enjoying our freedom from the borg. I just didn't think they would make it that easy. I still would like to know if an official announcement was made and when. Doesn't matter though. It's all water under the bridge.

I know they got the letter, because the previous annoying phone calls and uninvited visits from an elder abruptly came to a stop. Plus, we also wrote a kinder letter to an older "sister" to explain our actions, because we did not want her to be implicated in our DA'ing (that's another whole story).
Well, I was definitely shunned by a former good friend of mine (also the P.O.s wife, so she was probably one of the first to find out). However, another older "sister" I ran into was very sweet and made an effort to say Hi to me. Maybe she didn't get the memo about our DA.
I'm a little confused why one person shunned me and another was so sweet. When I was an active JW, the announcement of a DA or DF was a huge deal, and people made sure to spread the word to others who might have missed the announcement.
Do they not make such a big deal about it anymore? Can it really be that easy? I was really prepared for at least one phone call before they announced our DA, but nothing! (Not that I'm complaining. I'm just kinda curious about whether they ever made the announcement at all.)

We don't have anyone in our families who are or were JWs, so we went out all on our own to join the borg 14 years ago. On 9-10-06, we DA'd. This site has been an absolute lifeline for us, especially during the emotional turmoil we went through when we DA'd. It was and still is a tremendous source of information and encouragement. No one else in the world can really understand what ex-dubs are going thru except other ex-dubs. This site it THE best one. It's well moderated, and I've always felt safe expressing my opinions here without fear of being attacked.

I really don't have "free time", as a wife, mom, full-time nurse, and in distance learning college. However, I make time to do something which I'm passionate about - SINGING. Until about 2 years ago, I had never done any type of singing (other than in my car), but it was something I always wanted to be able to do. So, I started taking singing lessons. I stopped lessons almost a year ago, but I continue to practice a lot on my own. Little Drummer Boy has worked hard setting up a little "studio" for me in our spare bedroom. I absolutely love singing. It relaxes me somehow; and it's gratifying for me to be able to sing well. The voice is an instrument you always have with you, so I intend to continue improving. (A side note - my favorite genre of singing is classical Italian.)
