Merry, merry Christmas everyone!!
nothing profound in this thread.. just a simple "merry christmas" to those here who no longer consider it as something evil to be avoided.. the message goes out especially to those on the board:.
-- who never were allowed to celebrate christmas growing up.
-- who weren't allowed to say "merry christmas" back to "worldlies" who said it to them.

Hey finallysomepride- got your card yesterday
So many pretty cards, I had them on a side table but decided to hang them on the stair railing like Gary did, still might not be enough
room so might string a ribbon in our picture window and hang them there. Or maybe around the doorway, choices choices...
Ziddina- thank you for the mice! I used to collect mice, still have a few. Over the years we have even had a few mice and rats for pets, they are the best!
Thank you everybody!
I remember hearing this same story about Jimmy Carter.

Mine are done but we're having a lot of lake effect snow and driving bans so will mail in the next couple days, whenever I can get to the post office.
it s me again....and yes, i m still alive.. first of all: i am really sorry for causing some trouble lately.
i had the intention of taking an overdose the other day.
to be perfectly honest, i was drunk out of my mind when i wrote my last post, and someone i knew gave me all kind of pills to take.
I'm happy you're okay.
Listen to Yknot's wise advice. We are here for you.
you probably heard of people worshiping people (such as a parent, a study conductor), things (crosses, money), or organizations (a church, the washtowel babble and crap slaveholdery).. i believe, however, there is one other thing one can worship: actions.
and, among the witlesses, the most common acts that are worshiped are field circus and boasting session attendance.
this happens when one believes that they are going to see one or more of their problems gone as long as they are attending every boasting session and/or doing excessive field circus.
That is the most profound thing I've read in a long time. Describes my family to a tee.
someone started a thread asking everyone's favorite xmas movies.. how about favorite xmas music/songs?
even when i was an active jw i had a soft spot for certain xmas music.

Firefox isn't cooperating with me today
rudolph reindeer iii issued a statement this morning that has resulted in a great deal of controversy, but so far has prompted no comment or any official inquiries of any kind from law enforcement authorities.. "i am making this statement now, in the hopes that the claus family will release the hold that these events have had on myself and my family for three generations.
the time has long past for someone to stand up and speak out.
understand that i do this with great hesitation and considerable fear for the safety of my family, but with determination to see justice served.. "my grandfather, the original rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, wrote a detailed expose of santa claus' illegal and immoral activities in the north pole.
I love Christmas but I love sick and twisted even more
