I think people getting upset about Christmas are funny....Like Witnesses that still allow Umbrellas to be used but they have pagan origins....Christmas has NOTHING IMO to do with Christ;s birthday. To me it is about Santa Claus and watching Rudolph the red nosed reindeer program...And Frosty. I do not include Jesus with it.

How do you feel about birthdays and Christmas now?
by Chariklo ini wonder...for those of you who were brought up as a jw or who have been "in" for many years, how do you feel about birthdays and christmas and celebrations in general now?.
the indoctrination/brainwashing is very strong.
once you are out, or, perhaps, still in but totally disillusioned and sure that it is all a lie, not the truth, do you find that you are determined to celebrate like mad to make up for what you missed, or do you find you have a lingering sense of guilt, however irrational you may now think it is?.

I am SO glad I do not have family in. I am in a pretty good fade right now and hope it stays that way though. A brother in Atlanta has some very important documents with him that belong to me. I just simply cannot go get them right now. I wonder what he will do if I am ever DFed.

I love this site too! I do not comment too often but I read voraciously! I am halfway through the first reading of In Search of Christian Freedom and am kind of wanting to come out of the closet and tell me story and be free of it. I am not quite ready yet.

Hey Metatron, I look at this stuff too. The Neserablogspot is a great site to go to. As is Godlikeproductions.

Jwfacts, Why Do You Equate Miracles With Magic?
by Recovery ini have a question for the author of the website jwfacts.
as i was reading the sparlock article, i couldn't help but notice something seriously wrong:.
"the bible abounds in vivid fantasy, such as its many celestial descriptions, or the portrayal of warring kingdoms with imaginary beasts.. the sparlock message is confusing, as much for an adult as for a child, as the bible shows that god's followers practice magic, even if they are usually referred to as miracles.

Who gave Satan the power of making a Miracle/Magic?..
Who gave Moses the power of making a Miracle/Magic?..
It all comes from one place..
You just blew my mind Outlaw....JW's make the assumption of why didn't God just kill Satan, Adam and Eve right then and start over. Then they say well time had to be allowed for the accusations etc. to do a full turn....BUT....WHY didn't God just depower Satan? Not kill him...Just take away his powers? Using Kryptonite or something.... So in my mind God IS responsible for all of this.
