Who in the hall keeps them or is responsible for them? Are they kept at the hall or at someone's house?

You're making memories that will last a lifetime for those kids. Thats the plan, damn the torpedoes! Thanks Adamah!
Lisa- Now that would be memorable. Colorado is a beautiful place all year round, but especially here in the winter. We've had snow off and on here near Boulder, but its been melting too fast. No white Christmas, but it was still a great one.

New here
by winnie12 inhey i'm new here, i've been reading up so much here and on other sites about tatt and it has really settled a nagging feeling of doubt within me.
truly i have been lied to and have been trapped in this cult.
i've been suffering with depression, anxiety, attempted suicide, hospitalization, anti depressants, loneliness all this while being in supposedly surrounded by "the happiest people" on earth.

Wow, I can really relate to most of what you wrote. It was devastating for me when I first left. Stick around. There is a lot of pain shared on this board, but there is ever more joy in truly finding the “truth” and being set free from the borg.

I didn’t drop any major bombs on my mom and sister. They wouldn’t have listened if I did and knowing them like I do – if I had, they probably wouldn’t talk to me anymore bec of my apostate views. All they know is that I no longer believe and stopped attending. I visited them for the first time in September since I left. Not a single word was asked as to why I left. They probably feel it is better not knowing so they aren’t “stumbled.” I hope you made the right choice in telling them the way you did… Good luck with everything.

JW CHILDREN GET PRESENTS ALL THROUGH THE YEAR. REALLY?????
by NAVYTOWN inis it really true that jw children get gifts 'all through the year', not just for christmas and birthdays like non- jw kids?
as stingy as most jws are, i find that very hard to believe.
plus the childhood magic of christmas and birthdays is totally absent in jw households.

“Jehovah’s Witnesses give presents all year round.” Yup, I made the same proclamation for years to try and sound normal to others not “in.” 2 times growing up, we had kid’s parties. Those 2 times were really special and memorable for me because it only happened twice. We were really poor when I grew up. I would get toys but most of the time it was from yard sales and thrift shops. Same with my clothes. My mom did the best she could with what she had. But man do I hate the fact that I used the same lie once I grew up as I heard when I was growing up.
My wife and I along with her family and one other family from the hall had “family gift night” but it only lasted 1 year. We planed on doing it every year but it didn’t last.
