Bah Humbug?
by gloobster inmy parents more or less disassociated themselves from the borg when i was very young, and i kept going to the hall with my grandpa, an elder, until i was about 13 or so.
however, although my parents did not profess to be jehovah's witnesses any longer, they also did no move on to anything else--they were terrified of what their relatives and the jw's might think, and i don't know if they knew how to move on anyway.
anyway, i did not attempt to celebrate christmas until i was living on my own, i think when i was 21. .

Ok, cool. Just checking. I don't have any kids, and I strongly expected the "magic of Christmas" was a load of bull, but, you know. The one thing I always really hated was when people announced that it was my first Christmas. Which they seemed to do yearly. Around people I didn't know too well. Jerks! There will be a lump of coal in THEIR stockings!

I am new
by Domina ini am new to this group, but am in a few others for exjw's.
my parents were not the best people, and when my witness sister offered me a 'safe haven' i thought it was a blessing.
little did i know how much that choice would hurt me over the years.

Hello Domina!
Your story has a lot of similarities to mind in some ways, and in some other ways not. It's nice to meet you!

Since Jehovah's Witnesses are a dubious religion, I think it's only fitting.

What I found out was, it had absolutely no meaning to me. Some friends who knew what I had been through have tried several times to make a nice Christmas for me, but I just couldn't get into it. I think I ended up going to a bar myself because I just had to get out. Since then, 10 years ago, I have tried various times to have some sort of Christmas celebration, and it just doesn't work. I have no feelings, good or bad about it. Just numbness. I've bought presents for people, helped decorate, and although I can feel the whole Christmasy buzz in the air, there always seems to be something wrong with it. I'm not trying to even bring up the materialistic side of it.
Anyone have similar feelings they would like to share?

If someone plays a joke on you, it may take self-control not to retaliate.
Yes, because surely no one is capable of exercising self-control.

Welcome Mandette!
I think most of us have had pretty messed up experiences with the WTS. I only joined this forum about a week ago, but I'm really enjoying it. I haven't been near the Flawful and Disgusting Slug for a long time now, but there are many issues I have still not resolved, and this forum has been a real help to me. It's so nice to find people that know what you are going through, and find out that even if they shun you, you are not alone. That you should be thankful for it, regardless of the personal sacrifices you must make, and regardless of how painful or messed up it seems at the time. It gets better, and the "new light" you see really is light.
Glad to have you on board!

we've got to do a last minute run around the house hiding Ray's books, Hassan's book and several evolution and science books so as not to offend/get DF'd, depending on who's calling.
May I suggest hiding them prominently on the coffee table?

In the words of the great Dr. Johnson, the witnesses' behavior should not be ascribed to any deliberate Satanic intentions, but rather to "ignorance, dear madam, sheer ignorance."
In the words of the great Dr. Seuss, "There are star bellied Sneetches and Sneetches without!"
