  When I was in, in the 70s and 80s when I was a teenager we were encouraged to go out on Christmas Day because as someone said people are in. I did it a couple of times but hated doing it, although I found people were really nice and some invited us in and offered us a sherry to warm us up! 😀

  I didn't know it at the time because I was just a child. But I saw and met The Beatles many times before they became famous in my grandfather's house where they would come to play. My grandfather had a drum kit in his living room and many groups would come to his little house to hang out. My grandfather was the manager of another group in my hometown (can't say his name would give too much away). I wish I been more aware at the time of what was happening but I was too young. Exciting times.

  It is so sad that the R&F have no idea of what is going on behind the scenes. What is wrong with all the elders who get these directives. Why are there not more opening their eyes? They must see that this secrecy is wrong. I do hope the day comes soon when all of this is publicised. I fear though that it won't be in my lifetime. Many of you younger ones may live to see it.

  I was about 4 when my dad decided to join so felt like a born-in. Don't really remember a time when we weren't associated with the witnesses.

  Hi, River Song. Love your name. Hope you enjoy your day. Have lots of fun. My daughter has just gone to work dressed as a zombie, her makeup was amazing. My kids are grown up and now enjoy Halloween, (outside of my house). Unfortunately because my husband is still a jw I can't even give the kids who knock on our day any treats. I have always felt mean not doing that even when I was a witness. I truly believe it's just a bit of fun. Wishing all of you who able to do it a Happy Halloween.

  Did you like hymns as a jw?

  by jean-luc picard in

  i was just explaining to mrs picard........ never a jw, and not english, how we used to celebrate the harvest festival, when i was 7 and younger, before my parents converted to jw'ism.. i loved to sing "we plough the fields and scatter".

  of course, singing such hymns is, to a jw, paramount to apostasy,with the death penalty like punishment the ensued.. how really stupid their harsh rules.. did you have any favourite hymns?.

  i think we would all agree, that they beat the pants off the "kingdom melodies".
