Some of the comments claim it's fake. I've sent it to Snopes for confirmation.

Christmas Plans
by LouBelle inso what are your plans for christmas.. this year i am not spending it with my entire family.
some of them are doing their own thing/have their own plans, which i don't mind as sometimes those paticular family members can be straining.. so it will be spent with my mum, brother, father, some family friends and a couple of "strays" (people that don't have family to spend christmas with so we invite them over).
there will be a light breakfast shared and gifts opened in the morning.. i'm cooking up a feast:.

I would imagine the WTBTS ripped off that story and transformed a heartwarming story into a club with which to pummel the brotherhood.

I can't find anything about it on the website. I don't think the committee makes nominations.
You nearly gave me a heart attack with that thread title!

Welcome from North Carolina, HBH!
You're lucky you weren't married. I had to physically leave my home and divorce my husband in order to get free. (The ex was mentally unstable and getting very angry with me.)

So you're DA'd... No I'm not... Yes you are... No I'm not...
by Calebs Airplane inwtf is the wt doing to the minds of the brethren???.
this morning i went to the post office at 7:50am to pick up a package.
turns out the mail box section was open at 8am but the actual post office didn't open until 8:30am... rather than drive home and come back later i decided to get out my car and wait on a nearby park bench.

What a good idea! Separate the suicidal person from his/her support network. Brilliant!

When you were a jw....Christmas day...
by carla inwhen you were a jw did you get together with family or other jw's on christmas day?
most people have off so it would be convenient.
in my mind, if you got together with family or jw's shared a meal or drinks, perhaps watched a movie or played games you did celebrate the day.

When I was a kid my father insisted on dragging us out in field service on all of the holidays. I especially hated interrupting families who were in the process of "having their tree." I mean, who wants to answer the door, letting in freezing cold drafts, only to find it's Jehovah's Witnesses shoving magazines in their face? Couldn't we have a little respect for their family time?
As an adult I refused to go out on Christmas. We'd sit at home and watch TV or read.
