Jen,
If you lived near us, you could come over for dinner on Christmas.
All of us here have some idea of what your going through.
this is my 2nd christmas after leaving the jw's.
last year there was drama surrounding the time and i never really focused on it.
this year is differant and i'm having a hard time with it.

the jan 15, 2011 watchtower study edition has a study article that will be studied on march 7-13, 2011 (respect marriage as a gift from god).
in it the wtbts tries to minimize and distort the high rate of divorce among jw's.
in paragraph 4 it says in part: .
The Watchtower society has to keep up appearances before it's members. They have the troof so life inside the organization must be better then it is in the outside world. If they told the real truth, the rank and file might start thinking they are not in "God's organization".

hey here we go!!!.
they will need to buy some more crackers and cheap wine for next year now.
what are the borg going to concocked now to cover there ass with the number of morons going up again at the memorial 2010 ?.
Since many of the partakers are probably fake, and those who are not fake are not important anyway, why don't they just show a video of the governing body partaking of the emblems on Memorial night and let it go at that?
Bonnie_Clyde:
WTF: Since many are fake?
You certainly must have meant, "since all of them are fake"
to quote the wisdom of Terry,
It's all a concept, they are a school of fish swimming this way and that following the currents and the food chain
It's a CULT FRICKEN PERIOD
My suggestion is that they pull out 5 boxes of cheap wine, a half dozen loaves of bread and have a bread and wine party.
then they could play the movie "Religious"
They might even get bigger crowds
I hate this CULT!!!!!
boy she didn't know what she was walking into.
it was a wealthy (she drove a lexus and was very well dressed) middle aged woman with a younger girl.
she used the typical line this time of year asking if i knew where the origins of christmas came from.
Wow pr0ner, you rock.
I wish I could have opportunities like that and I may in years from now but at this point unless we move we are so well known in the area I have to watch what I say to anybody even somewhat related to this insidious cult.
Congratulations to you for remaining so calm and logical in your discussion with these poor people. You have planted some good seeds, let's hope they grow.

oddly enough....the governing body don't make the policies; the policies make the governing body!.
think of it this way.... the economy is every transaction, asset and liability within our country which is inside a greater context of the world markets.. each family has their little piece of the greater pie: debts, savings, purchases, credit-you name it.. but--get this--nobody is in charge of the economy.
nobody runs it.
I totally see what you are saying Terry and I believe it to be the case in many circumstances especially when the medium you speak of cannot be logically explained like religion and economics.

i know that such titles make such a thread seem like a "goodbye.
" not the case.
i may reduce my time at jwn because my path has taken me through a process of needing this forum less now.
Very well written OTWO.
I was happy to see you were still going to be around. I always enjoy reading your posts and I congratulate you on your attainment of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the best cure for guilt.
Guilt is the thing that started when somebody took a bite of a piece of fruit they were told not to eat.
could it be guilt that started the aging process?
