I don't see anything apostate around here........What are you talking about? I think you are just being paranoid.
Merry Christmas!

Poems anyone?
by Thunder Rider innatures way .
crimson tears drift earthward on a cold wind from the north.
boughs and branches shed them with their movements back and forth.

Alone,
I think of tomorrow,
Of what spells I might cast
with my awsome power,
What transformations,
What reincarnations,
What happy time travels
to my exciting past,
What yesterdays I might change
To satisfy all my "what if's"....
No, ...
I think instead
I'll use my powers
for Good.

I left the JWs when I was 18 because I didn't believe they were God's One Right Religion.
Saddly, I still thought I knew it all!
I was such a self-rightous, bible know-it-all! I had the attitude, "I left the JWs because they are wrong. But thanks to the JWs, I know more about the bible than any other Christian." Imagine my supprise when I found out I was wrong about almost all of it!
I am ashamed of how I behaved. What a jerk I was.
I'm better now....really...

BRAINSTORM:
I just thought of something else: Perhaps since your school has so many JW children you guys could find a room at the school and set if up with some really fun stuff. A TV and some approved movies, games, some food, bean bag chairs, I don't know, just so it has really FUN, COOL stuff in it. Anyway, then, when ever the class is doing a Christmas activity the JW GETS to go to the special room with all the great stuff and have fun! It could have maybe some art projects to do, maybe some clay...stuff they don't usually get to do.
That would be the greatest. Maybe with so many JWs at your school, the administration would let you do it. Then all the teachers could use that 'fun room' for their JW students whenever Christmas/Evil Witch Books/Thanksgiving or whatever was being taught in their classes.
I wish they had had that when I was a kid. I just had to sit alone in the library while everyone else was doing fun stuff.

Hello, Teacher!
I just wanted to add that if you choose to set him up with and alternative gift, or a plate of the food from the festivities I think it would be important to make it very clear to the child that, "This is not a plate of Christmas goodies! All of these treats have nothing to do with Christmas, and I am not giving them to you for Christmas, because you don't celebrate it. This is a gift from me to you because I think you are a special kid and I am glad you are in my class." or make another good reason for your alternative kindess or activity.
I only say this because when I was in elementary school, I was a True Believer. If a teacher had brought me a plate of Christmas treats from the celebration in the other room, I would have refused because I would have felt the teacher was just trying to 'sneak me a little Christmas.' I know it sounds crazy, but I would have. I would have wanted to 'make a good witness.' If the teacher had made it clear that it was NOT Christmas treats in our special case, and none of them were shaped like Santa, I might have gratefully accepted.
This would also be kind to the child because you don't want him to carry any guilt about 'breaking God's law.' The guilt in the JW religion can be crippling and terrible.
Nice to meet you,

Says he spent weekend, but didn't have sex
by rollercoaster ino.k., this is a long story.
i was married to a jw, (i am a jw) he left me, and i begged him not to go, he went to where his x-wife lives for work, he says he spent the weekends at her place, but didn't sleep with her.
3 months later, he came back, and i let him stay, then he left me again.

Hey, I was just joking around, cab...I don't think you really came out looking silly...I'm sorry if I came off like that...there is just a bit of humor in the situation..:).
Actually, I think you came out looking like you have slipped to smoothly and naturally into 'normal' life that you forgot just how crazy the old life really was.
I hear your pain in the original post, and I am sorry that your 'JW-fade' cover has been blown. If there are rough times ahead, we will all be here for you. I hope they just leave you alone.
And read Lovesdubs post! Especially this part:
So have your little snowman tree. Live your life! Unafraid! Just you and GOD and your heart. Be true to YOURSELF. No one else matters. No one.
Take care!

I can't believe you thought you were gonna get away with explaining it was 'just a small tree with some lights on it', not a Christmas tree!
That's like saying you only became a UN NGO to get a library card, not to actually support the UN!
Oh wait, maybe you could have gotten away with it......

In the last year of so, Kmart sold all their stores (that I know of, anyway) here in the Bay Area California where land is big $$$... I thought Kmart was out of business! I guess they were just raising some cash.
