Why do Ex-JWs start celebrating pagan Christmas?
by DubR inhiya guys and gals.
im not trying to be self-righteous but i want to understand the thought process of someone who knows the origins of christmas, but starts celebrating it (putting up christmas tree, exchanging wrapped gifts; repeating merry christmas to everyone they see in the month of december)??
it seems very silly to me (imo) after knowing how and why christmas was created (to cater to pagans sun worship and convert to christianity)!!

go on and share the lie of Santa Clause to their little ones? That just seems messed up. (yes, I know I took a portion of your sentence and you were just asking instead of stating this as your own thoughts)Try going into the children's section at the library...its ALLLLL about fantasy and *false* characters. It expands their imaginations. I believed Cinderella, Superman, and Wonder Woman were real when I was a child. When I found out they werent I wasn't traumatized. In fact, I felt proud that I was a *grown up* (at the ripe old age of 7) and didnt believe that stuff anymore. It's part of a small child's life to be filled with imagination and fantasy.
Someone else pointed this out above and I agree: While Christmas may have been rooted in pagan practices (which I no longer think is scary either since pagans are simply people who are not christians) , that isn't what is means today. In fact, Xmas means different things to different people. For me, its a time to spend with family who understands the meaning of unconditional love. "Why not do that everyday instead of one day a year?" some may ask. My answer: its not realistic. My family lives all over the U.S. ....why fight it? Slip on your pagan wedding ring, take the pagan pinata hitting stick outta your a$$, and put on a Santa suit.

Drawing a Blank/Tough time finding the right word
by AwSnap inhey, i want to google a topic...the only problem is that i know what its about but i can't figure out what keyword to google.
it has to do with those subconscious words that the watchtower throws into all their literature that influences the way jws read & agree with its contents..... examples:.
no doubt.

Ziddina, you have a pm. Thanks all for the suggestions...I'm sure more than one of those will get me what I'm looking for . When I am in a calm mood, I plan on showing information about the other people who do this, and then in a few months I will show them that they do the same thing. It's aggravating isnt it

Examples:
Of course
No doubt
Without hesitation
Only intelligent people would believe this.... (which makes them say...."hmmmm, I'm intelligent so Of COURSE I believe this!)
So transparent to see
Etc. Do you know what I am referring to? I'd like to find studies on how OTHER religions/groups/organizations do this as a form of mind control and then show it to my JWs. So what should I type in the Google box? Thanks.

How many of you knew about the"Jesus is not your Mediator" teaching when you were JWs??
by Lady Liberty inhi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.
i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.
and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.

She complains "I am NOT a crack ho ... anymore, I stopped using crack....Now I am just a ho" LOL My wife is SOOOO cool. I'd be totally cool being called a crack ho by my husband and its for the exact same reason your wife is cool with it. Its completely false, a joke and lighthearted (well, maybe inappropriate in some households, but sarcasm in our house *if lighthearted* is fine).
If the lady is clearly not "old" and it is clearly understood to be a term of endearment in a strange sort of "opposite" way (like the huge guy always being named "Tiny" or "Little Mike" or something unexpected), then the clearly understood "opposite" term, "Tiny Dick" might be appropriate.
But since it is an attack on a man's manhood, he would have to know that it is an opposite and she doesn't think it's tiny at all, the same way she knows he doesn't find her old. Here's the thing: I AM older than he is, although I'm obviously hotter than he is Just as calling a man "Tany d*ck) is an attack on his manhood, even if not true, is the SAME thing as calling your wife an ole lady....you're suggesting she's old. (I'm trying to say 'tiny' in a country way, get it? TA-nee...lol...cant figure out what to type. I could say it with a British accent: 'ToYnayyy' ). I don't consider myself highly sensitive. But I am a woman and dont think a man should be talking to his friends about his OLD/OLE lady. It's disrespectful, and its nice to see others agree.
Onthewayout: my man likes it when I call him Stupid, Idiot, and a$$, but I dont. Men are so weird.
Purplesofa, you just made me spit my coffee all over the computer that picture is naaaasty!
Hey, when you're typing, can you type d*ck instead? I'm enjoying this thread and dont want it to be shut down. Sorry, is that ooooverly sensitive of me to ask?
