Ours came from the Dog's Trust. He used to be scared of tissue boxes, so we think he'd had bricks thrown at him at some point during his early life. He's got the Life of Riley now though. My son is always trying to feed him!

How many of you haven't fared too well since your exit?
by i_drank_the_wine ini know that i've had a hard time piecing things back together after losing my wife and family a couple years ago and haven't really gotten the ball rolling to say the least.
just curious to hear if anyone else is in the same boat, or was in the same boat and how long it took them to get a "new life" figured out and going..

Awwwww.Dogs are so loving. Ours goes absolutely crazy with excitement whenever his master and pack alpha male, Daddatron, gets back home after working away. Wouldn't it be great if some people could give a comparably enthusiatic welcome home as that?!

Mind Your Own Business WT Pharisees!
by 00DAD ini just started reading eric hoffer's seminal work, "the true believer: thoughts on the nature of mass movements".
in it he made this very interesting comment: .
"a man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding.

Yup, good point. I always say that some people must lead really sad and boring lives if their sole means of getting kicks is by meddling in other people's business!

by TimothyT inalthough i was a jw for almost all my life, i have just finished reading the new testament for the first time.

Timmy, out of interest, which version of the NT did you read from? If it wasn't the NWT would you care to share which one please.
I don't think I'd have the patience to attempt the KJ version. I don't actually own a Bible at the moment, but might download one to my smartphone at some point in the future.

After leaving the Faith, do you celebrate all of the Holidays?
by Quarterback ini could never understand how some who don't follow some of the moral restrictions in the jw faith, are strong against celebrating the .
religious holidays such as christmas, and easter etc.. do you celebrate the holidays knowing some of their origins?.

I celebrate Christmas because it's fun and about families getting together, though I don't go all out like many people do. Last Christmas we didn't even have any decorations, mind you it was bit of an unusual one last year as we'd been snowed-in for much of December, so many presents were delayed. My oven had broken so we had steak & chips instead of turkey, but more importantly, I'd also only just given birth a few weeks previous so we were still in a major adjustment (and sleep deprived) phase.
I don't celebrate Easter at all, though I will buy chocolate eggs & eat hot cross buns. So in that respect, Easter for me is exactly the same as when I was a JW.
Daddatron & I don't bother with Valentine's day much other than maybe a card or small gift. TBH I find Valentine's a bit sickening, all the restaurants are fully booked, I hate getting cuddly toys as gifts (fortunately Daddatron knows this!), and I find Valentine's makes many of my single friends get quite depressed when they would otherwise be OK with their single status.
We do celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day, though apart from us arranging a card/gift from the kids, it's not much different to a regular Sunday when we eat out.
Halloween is one I don't bother with. I'm sure I may do in the next year or so once my kids are old enough to want to participate. I normally just make sure I go out on that night so the neighbourhood kids are less likely to throw eggs at my house.
