well, in oz it's going to be very warm.
a good excuse to sit outside, eat, drink and be merry.. not that i get into the commmercial aspect of the day, although i did buy my 3 kids a little something for the first time in 14 christmas'.
but it's the opportunity to share in the happy mood most are in.
((((((((((((((((Merry Xmas to you and your family Bliss!)))))))))))))))))
The pleasure you get from seeing your children enjoy the good about Xmas is really lovely. Have a wonderful time and just think of us UK'ers here in the cold damp rain....not a snowflake in sight....lol
Happy Xmas!

this is a personal message to
as much as we?d like to send you a christmas card we have made so many friends here that it just isn?t feasible.
sending everyone a card would prove too expensive ?
Dear Ian,Clair, Caul & Dominic,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!
Wishing you a Christmas full of happines, you all deserve it.... for all the courage you?ve shown this past year.
Best wishes to you all
Latte & family

......... i had the guts to telephone any jw?s just for the sake of it, with nothing less than xmas carol music playing in the background??
?now that would razz them off!!
lol
Anglise,
Yes, we are celebrating??..the tree has been up about two weeks already! LOL The kids (me really) couldn?t wait to decorate the house! We have flashing lights - anything that looks Xmasssy!
I would love a card! I will pm you, and you must let me know your addy. Thank you. The baggage is hard to dump, especially when you have family/friend ?in?. However, we are determined to do everything as any normal person would ?.for the kids sake- even if that means me having to dress up and wear a flashing santa hat again...lol
((((((Tracy,)))))
CELEBRATE the freedoms you DO have.
Good advice, isn?t it wonderful?! Hey?.I can make decisions for myself?.instead of having to search a JW publication to help me?.BWAHAHAHA
Thanks Tracy! Please could I have your address too??
Thanks for your thoughts guys?.
it has been accomplished, it's over, done, kaput.
a chapter of my life that has lasted 5 and 1/2 years has reached its final page and the book is now closed.
(no, i'm not talking about my sex life, that's been more than...erm, well, never mind).
WOW Dana.....Well done! That's fantastic!
Latte...... who's full of admiration

I wish I had the guts to post my picture on this forum like Nina (Cruzanheart who seems to of been in this cult round about the same length of time I have) and others. I think that ?coming out? and posting your picture really shows lurkers that really we should not be fearful when seeking TRUTH. That really what most of the people on this board are about?? Yet I am still hesitant.
I wish that all the ?New Years resolutions I know I?m going to make - I could keep!
I wish it could be Xmas every day!

i was reading a new article about pornography on the official watchtower web site at.
http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2002/7/8a/article_01.htm.
and it closes with this statement: "it undermines efforts to do good and have a clean conscience.".
Ballistic,
I tried reading all the article......
My conclusion is that the person who wrote that article must definetely be blind....
....laughing apart.......the writers are....
since today is the "worldly" day of thanksgiving for many of us, it is a good time to reflect on what we can be thankful for.....anything come to mind?
My health... and that of my family.
This board and all the good people who post on it.
Last... but by no means least....Simon and Angharad for hosting it....
here i am, sitting in the college library, reading this site, when some guy walks by me, turns around and glances at my computer.
he steps back, takes a closer look at it and says "hmm, what site is that?
jehovahs witness?
Enshi,
I know what you mean about someone peering over you shoulder uninvited, don?t think that I would like it. (unless it was Bradd Pitt of course)
I have to say though, that there have been a few occasions where I have been out somewhere, and have been racking my brain as to how I can talk to someone who is displaying W/T literature. For instance I was out with my kids and sat next to this woman who had an old w/t publication (very worn book) I tried getting into conversation with her, turns out that she was ?a believer?. I got the impression that she really didn?t want to talk. Guess I blew my chance to sow some seeds of doubt?.lol
It is very tempting to talk about JW issues, you know what it?s like - burns a hole in your head. Maybe he just wanted that opening to talk???
There was another occaision where this lady say openly studying her W/T whilst her kids played in the indoor play area. I was sat across the way writing my very first Xmas cards,(LOL )so I was feeling kinda nervous, also I had the UN thing flying through my brain. I would a of loved to of ?enlightened? her, but it is difficult striking up converstions with strangers - especially about something as emotive as the JW cult.
Just a few rambling!
