this will be our second christmas since leaving the wts but we will be away in nz with besty's extended family so probably won't bother much with trees and decorations but the santa issue is playing on my mind, especially now podlet no.

1 is at preschool.. do we bring the children up to believe in santa & co with all the magic, mystery and excitement associated with the fairytale or do we tell him right away what the deal is - either route is going to feel very strange.

my gut feeling is to go along with the myth and give them those happy memories of wonder and anticipation - what do you all think?.

Lie, someday one schoolmate is going to tell them how is santa and its fine. Believe me, when they found out, they are not going to tell you anything. They will be kept it a secret so they continue getting what they asked for. I keep the secret for about 3 years after I knew. After my parents find out that I knew, the crappy gift era began.
I don’t think that you should be losing sleep with that one.

COLOUR In the Garden of the Lord pdf

by jaydee in

most places have this booklet available, but only the quite poor quality black and white one.. this one is in colour so you can see what it would have looked like.

especially the pictures.

the quality is still not perfect though.

Coping With Witness Relatives Cult & Authentic Dual Personalities- Hassan

by flipper in

jw
friends

many of us who have witness relatives have experienced them fading in and out of the cult personality to their real, authentic personality.

it's like they are a totally different person.

as steve hassan says in his book, " releasing the bonds ", " it is an eerie experience when, mid-conversation, you sense a different identity has assumed control.

Idolatry Undone Watchtower Style

in order to cut down on idolotry in the homes of young christians, the governing body recommends taking down any and all photos and posters of singers, actors, and athletes.. however, in order to fill the need to decorate the walls of these young ones and still insprire them to good works, the governing body has authorized the printing of a 3' x 5' lithograph of the governing body in living color.. copies can be ordered at the literature counter after the service meeting for a donation of $25 per litho or 3 for $50.

all proceeds of the sale of these posters will benefit the world wide pedophile defense fund.......

MY PROJECT IS (FINALLY) FINISHED!

by Mary in

for those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.

i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.

it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.
