are we going to do a christmas card exchange this year?.
I hear you FSP, it would be expensive sending all the cards at international rates. Maybe we will be lucky and get the cards this year that we didn't get last year.
I thought about the secret Santa but didn't join it in time. Maybe next year.
Would it be theocratic warfare if I hung some of the cards and didn't tell my husband they are from last year?

BTTT

I still have all my cards from last year Though I never received any from the British people I sent to... must have been a glitch in the postal service I guess.
My husband was surprised by all the cards and I know it was a good anti-witness to him.
Count me in for this year!!
when i was little (before jwism) we celebrated christmas.
my parents got the "truth" then we no longer celebrated it.
we used to get together with family and friends and it was great!
Our first tree was a 4 foot white tree from a discount store. We strung a few pink lights, hung a couple dozen silver ornaments, and used pink and white ribbons for garland. We found a pink snowman topper at a dollar store. It was the most amazing tree ever. EVER!!
We didn't leave it up long because my JW husband was visiting his family and we had it down before he returned. That was five years ago and we now have 2 trees that stay up for the whole season. After many arguements and tears,we have a peace treaty, I say nothing bad about his Witness activities and he tolerates our having some holiday decorations and joins in the meals and the fun that isn't directly holiday connected. So far,it works.
you may recognize the photo if you frequent the site reddit.com.
it has become a popular "meme" pic to which various funny captions are added.
the overall style and feel of the pic got me wondering whether it came from one of the society's rags, in some clueless anti-internet article.. .
I meant a Watchtower on internet porn lol. I seriously remember a thread dedicated to that picture. People were commenting on the woman in the background and what the man must be looking at, lots of one liners. Maybe a year or two ago?
There isn't anything to identify who did the picture in the image info.

BOTR- I love your posts. You add a lot to the forum. I think maybe my life is the flip side of yours. I did all the "right" things, skipped the longed for education and career and settled on the marriage to a "mature" brother ... didn't escape till too late for so much that I still long for.
Thank you for your posts, they are always interesting and I love your enthusiasm for life.
two words... oh my!.

(cbs/ap) miami - a transgendered woman was arrested friday for allegedly posing as a doctor and injecting cement, mineral oil and flat-tire sealant into the buttocks of a woman who had wanted a fuller figure.
Oh jeez, thanks fr putting this in my head...
"What you gonna do with all that junk
All that junk inside your trunk?"
Seiously though, there had to be a lot of terrible complications. Terrible
i was in the mood today... got the tree cheap (came w/lights), decorations and ribbon for half price and made the bow myself to save money.
i was going to put it aside until after thanksgiving, but couldn't resist completing the project.
i just have to get some fiber fill for "snow" at the base.
We're starting to get ready. I bought a blue snowman for our front door... not too Christmasy, I try to keep it low key outside for my JW husband. Inside is different, we have a tree up in my daughter's room already and plans for a small white tree in the living room with all blue lights and blue and silver ornaments. It's going to be beautiful.
A musician friend of mine who is on the road a lot told me to get glass vases a nd fill them with ornaments and the tiny battery lights. Just beautiful,lights up the whole room if you can't have a tree. She does this when she can't get home, doesn't take a lot of money or room.
i miss a few but honestly i could count them on one hand after being in the organization for almost 5 decades.
some jws are ok but most, i simply tolerated, due to being an elder..
There are a few, but truthfully, I miss them less as time goes on. I don't have many friends at all and I'm okay with that for now. I'm tired after the past few years of trying to keep my marriage tgether and trying to hold everything together for family's sake. I need new friends but it is going to have towait until I catch my breath.
