is there a way of saying tactfully to my superdub family that we do not want anniversary presents this year ?.

our 39th is on saturday the 12th and my wife says that as the family only have the minimum to do with us since our fade she feels it is the height of hypocrisy to buy us presents.. she also does not like my super-smug sister (who does ?

) who will come to our place bearing gifts we do not want from persons who will not entertain our point of view.. i cannot think of away that is kind, to get out of this, heeelllpppppp !!!!!!!!!!.

so, i am curious..... how many of you have a hard time getting that phrase out of your vocabulary?.

i have been conscienciously trying not to use it at all, so now when i am in a conversation with a jw, its amazing how often they use that phrase.

i look back and wonder "god, did i say that that often?

Yeah , it is so hard to get it out of your vocab. Using the term Brothers and Sisters too.

I like an unbiased opinion like the one above (even though you are right).

Hi Wobble, I tend to agree with the previous comments. Take it that your family are trying behave in a normal way, they are doing all they can under the rules of the cult that they follow. We were all there once, victims of stupidity. Treat them with graciousness, smile and ask them what they want for Xmas (maybe not that bit)!

QFR..Feb 15 2010. RE Shared Living Accommodation??

This is one example of why elders or anyone else has no business judging another Christian. At the end, I HATED being an elder and feeling obligated to enforce these manmade rules! (You know that if a person violates the spirit of these rules, it would be "inappropriate" to allow them "privileges").

I concur entirely.
