  Thanks Valis,

  Great advice! I never feel guilty, especially when it comes to celebrating. I have been singing Christmas commercial jingles around here for the past month. I never realized how restricting this time of year is for JW's who don't celebrate the holidays. They sure don't know what they are missing.

  Today, my mom and brother went up the seacoast to browse and do some shopping. On the way back, we passed a church and the parking lot was over filled for mass. I guess with all the events and tragedies, people are going back to church. Although, I am happy as a spiritual non-church goer, I thought it was kind of a nice thing to see.

  How I envy you TR. It must be nice to have family that you can go to. My siblings and my mom no longer attend meetings, but out of respect to my dad we don't make a big deal of Christmas. We don't have relatives that live near us so it has been kind of hard. I sent out cards, and bought a Christmas songbook. (I have always wanted to know the words to X-mas songs, because we couldn't sing them as JW's) I can't wait to go to my work X-mas party.

  Have Fun!

  ....All of You A:

  Merry Christmas
  Happy Boxing Day
  Happy Kwanza
  Have a Happy Day to all of You!

  I would like to know how many of you will spend your holidays. I will have a nice dinner, since that's about all I can do with my JW parent in the same house. We will celebrate "Present Day" in February.

  Can you give me any ideas to help celebrate Christmas? I
  would like to do something extra special this year.

  I have always wanted my hands to be hennaed painted. It's usually done in India during weddings. I just thought it might look cool. My sister had it done at a medieval fair. The paint (dye) lasts about 6 weeks, then fades off.

  Silliest thing that Witnesses told you was wrong?

  there are two things.

  in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.

  i had two smurf cartoon books and my mother made me throw them away.

  I remember being at an assembly and the speaker urged everyone not to listen the that song "Afternoon Delight" (Forget who sings it) because it talks about having sex during the day! I was just a kid, but I loved that song!

  Sounds like you're quite the technician, Bendrr. It's the little things that make us happy, isn't it? You must feel like a kid again, huh? I couldn't resist and went out and bought myself a diamond tennis bracelet for Christmas. I knew that if I didn't buy it, I would never receive it. I couldn't stop looking at my wrist!

  this is my first post and i must say that i have been lurking here from time to time and have been impressed with the content.

  back in college i visited the old h2o site many times and this is definitely superior.

  thanks to all for the rich content i've been enjoying.. my great mother was a witness making me a fourth generation.

  Welcome Perry!

  Thank you for sharing such a personal story. My JW dad still tries to re-convert me also. I just slowly drifted away. I too, felt the pressure to conform to one way of thinking. I have felt so much happier, healthier and totally free since I have left the truth. It gets easier with each passing year. This board has helped me to find a common ground and support with many nice people. Glad you decided to stop lurking and to take the "plunge." Looking forward to many more of your posts.

  Have a drink for me, WW77!

  Today, was my last day of dealing with Christmas shoppers at work, until after X-mas and then it gets worse with Christmas returns. At least I'll have a few days off. After work, I went for a long walk with my dog. Nothing like getting a bit of exercise to get out that aggression, and frustration. It was unusually cold (35 degrees) here in New England. The walk was very invigorating. Have a good night, hope next week will be better for you.
