  Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas?

  by Golf in

  i had been a week-end radio dj a few years back and every time this year i would play elvis's song, "why can't everyday be like christmas.

  " i found it strange that many radio stations wouldn't play this record.

  here was a jw playing a christmas song while the believing christmas radio stations wouldn't!

  we had a phone call yesterday, after being "inactive" for 6 years.

  not having attended a meeting in 4 years, we get a call saying they are concerned that they had heard we believe in evolution.

  my partner said "not necesarily believe in it, im just not discounting it at this time.

  they will want to "keep the congregation clean" by DFing you.

  or make it look like they have been busy trying to "keep the congregation clean"?

  Why aren't they more concerned about the preaching work? or sheparding? those who need it in the congregation. But Noooooooo, they have to put their noises in people's business. What a bunch of busy-bodies, do-nothing, mind-controlled men.

  ps, welcome to the board, jellybelly.

  I had an epiphany about this mediator thing the other morning in the shower. Next time I see my family or a JW I'm going to ask them if they ended their prayers with "in the name of spiritual Isreal" instead of "in the name of Jesus"?

  Well....think about it, the JW's are being told that Spiritual Isreal? is their mediator, then they should pray through their mediator.

  a festivus for the rest of us!.

  the festivus celebration includes three major components:the festivus pole: during festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed, apparently in opposition to the commercialization of decorated christmas trees, and because the holiday's creator, frank costanza, "find[s] tinsel distracting.

  " local customs have changed and you may be able to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain decorations.

  Happy Festivus, Derrek!

  I want to take the religious nonsense out of xmas and just have a winter celebration. That way, religion won't be a dividing factor in the celebrations. So whether Jewish, Hindu, Islamic, Budist, Christian or whatever have a happy winter "insert name of your liking".

  "Standing right next to the tree deny it is a Christmas tree, obviously with a straight face."

  did you know in Russia they don't have "christmas trees" but fur trees they put up for the New Year, lights and all. And YEP, the JW's can put up a fur tree, its up to their conscience. DOH

  Mulan, love Dave's reply. What was he drinking when he thought of that? I want some. lol

  oh hell, you're free. What a controlling bunch. bah hum bug
