i've "celebrated " christmas once or twice with past girlfriends but i have to admit i cant stand it.i did it out of respect for them.

why the hell is jesus so damn important to me that i have to celebrate this guys friggin birthday?

i understand that society has made christmas into a comercial holiday for those who dont want to make it about jesus but i for one cant pry apart all the jesus stuff, songs and the rest of it from the religious part of it.

does anyone know who the guy in the devil costume is?

.

seems to be backfiring but smiles from some onlookers....makes u wonder how it would look though if there was and orderly protest of 1000's of ex jws outnumbering those in attendance...now that wouldnt play out that well for the wtbts..

Italian JWs growing up with the belt! Can you relate?
by Frank.L in
1. jw
2. friends
did anyone have the same "experiences" growing up as some of us italians/europeans did?...of course our culture plays a part of who we have become in our later years and how we treat our children but pointedly im wondering if anyone raised as a jehovahs witness regularly was hit, smacked, beaten, smashed, in inventive ways that begged u to laugh .....well what i mean is that the intresting thing that stands out is that growing up in this kind of enviornment made you laugh your ass off whenever we discussed these things privately as if they were normal.

and they were so not normal.

and did anyone go through the same normal "discipline".?

Hello everybody
by JulieM in
1. jw
2. friends
hi everybody, my name is julie, and this is my first post.. i'm a third generation jw, or at least i was until a two weeks ago, when i was announced as no longer a jw.

i'm really happy about that, ecstatic in fact, although i'd been a jw all my life, and i'm 37 now.

i could have disassociated like my friends, but i couldn't be bothered to play their chikdish game, so i let them do it for me.

dear readers of revelation,.

i have been reminded that a simple question is more effective than an elaborate presentation.

carl sagan.

the demon-haunted world : science as a candle in the dark .

"i worry that, especially as the millennium edges near, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive.
