5Lecture before he died....Randy Pausch
by AK - Jeff in"almost all of us have childhood dreams; for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living.
sadly, most people dont achieve theirs, and i think thats a shame.
i had several specific childhood dreams, and ive actually achieved most of them.

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)!!

Jookbeard, i got disfellowshipped for fornication and not being willing to break off communication with my girlfriend (now wife). You can see my whole story in my first post on this website.
EVERYONE I HAVE PERSONALLY OFFENDED...I AM SORRY!! That is one thing about me if you know me, if I am wrong about something I will admit it. I didn't realize it but I did come off condemning in my earlier post but it was out of anger. I am only 24yrs old and not even a year ago I thought JW was the only true religion and know I dont believe in the Bible (I have been through alot and have alot of anger build up inside). But I want to keep growing in knowledge, making sure what I believe is correct, so in that process I am sorry that I was self-righteous. I just realized that I didn't need to find a justification for celebrating Christmas. I really shouldnt have cared anyway it goes being agnostic but I guess that was still control going on. I have a couple of weeks to decide to celebrate Christmas this year but all of you guys posts have helped me. Thank you all and I am sorry...

Jookbeard, GROW THE F*UCK UP!! You are not funny I am disfellowshipped since 07!! I am an agnostic. Are you that slow to keep thinking im a JW?
Wow OnTheWayOut, I just found out pagan means hick, country bumpkin; outsider. I have read your various posts for a long time. You are a deep thinking guy.

beksbks, Christianity created the word but Christianity in itself is pagan so now I dont think the word really exists. But I guess that is a good question because everything is pagan, therefore it shouldn't matter if anyone celebrates Christmas. I think that is what you are really asking.

Finally-free you said "This is a public discussion board, and you have no authority over it. You have none over me. You never could." So why would you make such a stupid comment earlier saying that "No One Cares What I Think." Like I said before, if you dont care what I think (you said that, not me) then get off this thread and dont come back to it. Thats the logical thing to do!! You set yourself up and you didn't think I would respond! And I could care less what's "in your book"!! lol
AK-Jeff - you said "Why to this." Dude WTF are you talking about lol. If you dont want to read previous post to have a jist of what we are talking about presently then DONT DO IT dummy!! It makes sense to do that so you wont bring out points that have already been brought out!!
Granny - If you notice from all my posts, I never steer my anger on anyone unless they offend me. I would NEVER talk to you are many others on here even if we think differently on matters. You are always respectful to my posts and I to yours. You are my granny!! And yes I do have alot of hate towards religion but im sure its about the same amount of hate most people on here have towards the Watchtower Borg.
Lovelilly, MrsJones &Finally-Free, if you honestly go back to page 2-4 of the posts on this thread, you will see how many went from answering this question to condemning me or sending angry posts because I said that "lying to their kids about Santa seems wrong." Darn, didn't yall use to be JWs. Didn't yall use to think it was wrong to lie to kids like that. God hates a lier and all that stuff. As I said, I was looking for justification to celebrate Christmas this year and alot of people pissed me off by their post just because I stated my opinion so I retaliated. Think about it, im Agnostic but it is still hard for me to ever give blood, celebrate Christmas; other holidays. I shouldn't even care but I still do for some reason! Truly sorry if I offended you but it is no reason to attack me on here. Also if non of you are self-righteous Christians and can accept that passing down the Santa story is a lie(thats just what it is) NOTHING I have said this whole time should have offended you!

Thank you again TheSilence! I would have never in a million years even considered celebrating Christmas (growing up a JW) and you are helping me reason (im only 24yrs old and still need a little guidance). Also everyone else, please ignore Jookbeard and Outlaw and continue to share!! They are just old men who still want to feel young so they act childish . Its understandable tho!!

Outlaw, I would let you do what that pic shows to me but my wife wouldn't let you. So stop riding my C*CK on this thread and calm your girlfriend Jookbeard down!! And once again you have proved to me how nonfunny (lol) you are!! Thanks!
