Sometimes I wonder if Mom wasn't totally on board with the whole JW thing, especially at the beginning. It always seemed to be more of Dad's thing. But they are both diehard dubs now.
Anybody else experience some inconsistencies like this?
we were having a wonderful christmas until some relatives came to see us.
we put away the tree and everything so they wouldnt b stumbled.
i swear they came to see if we were doing anything non jw.
This year I cranked up the Christmas music and danced around with my daughter. We watched "Rudolph" and all the other Christmas cartoons together. I bought her presents and introduced her to Santa Claus at the mall.
Meanwhile, my JW wife was thoroughly depressed and couldn't wait for the season to end.
I think I made progress with her, though, cuz we went over to the "worldly" neighbors' house on Christmas Day and ate dinner (they told her it wasn't a holiday meal so as not to offend her).
The most touching moment, though, was when my daughter was putting ribbon on a flowerpot. I said, "What are you doing?" She said, "I'm making a present for Mommy." I just had to tell my wife about it- and, of course, she agreed how sweet of her it was.
when i walked away from jw's i thought that i would find other religions more comforting, less controlling.
what i found was more of the same.
religion acting like a 'prophet'.
Like Sting said, "Men go crazy in congregations but they only get better one by one."
so what do you think is the second most pleasurable activity a human being can do?.

over the years, i have posted all of the chapters from my atheist's book of bible stories on this site.. however, since the original posting, many of the chapters have been polished and updated.. the complete book is now available for downloading, if anyone is interested: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qwpjol.
Thanks, Running Man! Just downloaded it. I'm becoming more like my grandfather every day. That bastard sent me subscriptions to science magazines when I was a kid, trying to convert me to believing in evolution. How dare him! LOL
