  First Holidays as a Non-JW

  by maxwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this will be the first year i go through the holidays as a non-jw.

  and on top of that with beliefs that can best be described as agnostic.

  basically i think i probably won't do much different.

  Well, while i'm still not sure WHAT i believe, i went ALL OUT for my first holidays. I always felt like i'd missed out on the "fun" stuff as a kid, and with kids of my own, couldn't wait.

  Halloween: decorated my house to the hilt! graveyard in the front yard, bats hanging from the ledges in the entry way, etc.

  Thanksgiving: Didn't change much from the witness days other than the fact that we actually did it on THANKSGIVING DAY instead of the day after when the "turkeys were on sale."

  Xmas: XMAS LIGHTS GALLORE!!!! LIGHTS EVERYwhere. my house looked beautiful. Got the biggest tree i could afford and all the trimmings. Couldn't wait. House looked so pretty adorned with all the red bows, candles, tinsel, etc. I cried when my lights came on for the first time. Always wanted lights. (Had a lot of drive-by's ...people wanted to see if i'd actually have the GUTS to decorate!)

  As for the "meaning" of these holidays: Not really too into the meaning yet. Just enjoying the fluff, ya know?

  Hey Guys!!!! it's been a while since I've been able to check this site as my computer at home has been on the blink.

  In any case, as I mentioned at previous apostofests, I'm thinking about having an aposto-halloween party!!! i've already gotten hold of a witch/medium (whatever) that will conduct a seance. She also does readings and some "All Hallow's Eve Sabbat ritual".....heheheheee.....still looking for that used Ouija board! LOL - She's not too expensive. I could probably afford her for about 2 hours. So...we'll see.

  In any case, wanted to check the interest level for this....so i can sorta plan ahead. Let me know if you guys DFW Apostates are interested!!!

  Later!
