  Thank you for giving us an update on your lovely daughter Ali, she has been through so much, how awful that she was misdiagnosed, I can't imagin how terrible this has all been for you and your family. She is obviously strong minded girl and is determined to get better, it sounds like you are taking every option possible to get her better and strong again.

  I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and celebrate the fact that she pulled through and can think of a future together, Ali has you, a lovely mum to look after and support her. I wish you all the best and Ali a full recovery I am sending you love and best wishes and continue praying for her.

  LOL Mr Wobble that was so funny, at least you had a good time, and yes you are so right we should show them love and patience, that is good advice that it would be a good time to reason on what it really means to be a Christian in a loving way. It would not be loving to antagonise or get into arguments.

  I love the Christmas celebration now it means more to me now we are free, everyone is happier and nicer, all my neighbours have sent me Christmas cards and wished me a merry Christmas. I noticed when visiting shops people are very willing to give to charities.

  It is sad that I don't have happy warm memories of Christmas as a child. My hubby does because he was not a born in, and is enjoying remembering his experiences without feeling guilty. I enjoy him telling me about them.

  Lets hope some JW's have as good a time as you did if they have to trudge out on a cold and frosty Christmas day.

  I was always taken out on Christmas day when I was a child and hated it, seeing other children playing with their presents. That is a cruel thing to do. The people on the doors often told who ever was with me [sometimes it was a sister from the cong. sometimes it was my mother] how cruel we were and said how sorry they were for me was for me.

  Even though I hated being brought up a witness as a child I still thought it was true but when I had my own child I would not go out Christmas day or expect my child to. I remembered how horrible it was. I always made sure that she had presents in december so that she could tell her friends at school.

  I was thinking of buying a couple of gifts for children and wrapping them up and putting them under the tree, if a witness calls with a child invite them in and offer the gift.

  I just feel sorry for the children. What do you think?

  I like your Idea of giving them an alcoholic drink, this would relax them. Maybe easier to get some points across and get them thinking, etc.

  I bet you would like to have tried it fokyc, thats a shame.
