this will be my third christmas and i love it!!!
i love buying gifts to my friends and family (those who are out) .
and best of all, this year i've got a boyfriend.
I know. I know... It's all lame. If only ppl cared about family more than once or twice a year. Things like turtle necks and pine trees aint necessarily wrong, it just all sucks when it's thrown together, right bruh? We can only repeat the point so many times though. I'm coming down with a cold and I'm getting a bit crabby too. Take care, Misery...

Misery,
I love ya man and I generally agree with your sentiments BUT you really need to get to bed already. The Ambien is taking hold and f**king with your mind again. Talk to us in the morning when you're sane again. Take care bruh...
Berengaria,
Neither Misery nor I will do such a thing, nevermind enjoying it. Peace!

someone started a thread asking everyone's favorite xmas movies.. how about favorite xmas music/songs?
even when i was an active jw i had a soft spot for certain xmas music.
the standards, the jazzy ones, the rocknroll ones.. while i like a lot of different ones...i even collected my favs onto a playlist that i keep for this time of year...there are a few that really stand out as my favs.
Bwahahahahaha - Ha! I just can't resist...

i've got one!.
you don't have to wait in long xmas lines at the store to buy xmas presents.
as a matter of fact, you don't have to buy a damn thing!.
Hey V. If I can give you some hints to help you get laid, let me know. I mean, you gotta get laid, man.
*sigh* I'll just have to figure that one out for myself, I guess...

I'd say, for one, that they teach you to examine "worldly" superstitions with a critical eye (e.g., black cats, walking under ladders, good luck charms, astrology, etc). Unfortunately, the worldly superstitions get replaced with JW superstitions instead. (Demonized smurf dolls, possessed garage sale items, etc.) For many though, it sets the stage for them to eventually reject the JW religion as well.
Being a JW spared me a lot of heartache and trouble. Unfortunately I've never really experienced much of life either (e.g. getting laid).
I also like not having grown up with all the grief and expense of all the holiday bullshit. Unfortunately, it leaves me isolated, lonely, and I'm usually "the odd man out". It also leaves me in a quandary over what to do when it comes to celebrating holidays with a worldly GF someday.

wtwizard is crazy about christmas.
he talks about xmas all year long because he soooo looks forward to the big ado of decorating.
he loves the lights and the tinsel and the smells of scotch pine and cinnamon.
No, cameo-d, nobody wants to suck on an egg... not even a Fabergé egg. Now answer my question about the pagan thing, dammit!

I thought it would be fun to have a special thread of Christmas interest for WTWizard and any others who find this pagan holiday so exciting.
Why the emphasis on the pagan side of it? What is it to you, cameo-d, that it's pagan? I simply don't give a crap about x-mas because it's over-commercialized, over-rated bullshit...

For those times you think your life really sucks (you're probably right).

i love reading peoples funny stories, angry stories, fading stories, quitting stories, etc, etc...i'm running out of old threads to find them on so i thought i'd start one.
some of mine:.
a few years ago i gave an experience on stage about how i came into the truth and why since it was a struggle i suppose.
Here's a bit of a twisted one...
When I was about 9 and my sister was 7 we were both sent to a door by ourselves and a middle aged lady answered. I was halfway through my standard magazine presentation when the lady screamed at us and said: "SHOVE THOSE MAGAZINES UP YOUR BUM AND DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN!"
What a terrible thing to say to a couple of cute little kids! As we were leaving my sister burst into tears and for some bizarre reason I just started laughing! 
A nervous reaction I suppose. I'm sure everyone up and down the street heard the yelling...
