That is a something that I have wondered many many times but absolutely can not understand. I have three small children at home......they are my life. I am very fortunate to be a full time stay at home mother and know that the day will come when they will all move away and begin their own lives. Will I be sad, yes, but I will be so happy to be able to watch them, to enjoy their lives with them. I can not even imagine raising a child only to turn my back on them. Shut the door and throw away the key.

My parents missed out on my wedding. My dad missed out on walking me down the aisle. Both missed out on all three of their grandbabies births. Missed out on rocking them to sleep or singing them lullabyes. Most of all they missed out of knowing the person that I became as an adult.

I have mentioned this before.......I wonder what goes thru the "shunners" mind.........are we "dead" in their eyes? Do they think of us? Do they regret their decision?

All I know is that there is absolutely nothing in this world that would make me walk away from my children. Nothing.

When do we find out who we are sending gifts too?

Well, so far we have a total of 38 people who have signed up w/in the last few days. I was really hoping to get at least 50. I would like to keep bumping this thru the weekend to give everyone a chance to sign up that wants to. Then give me a few days to get everything situated and for me to get all the emails out. I figure that everyone should have an email w/their partner's name by the 27th of October.

So......bump this thread when you can........mention it in chat! I would love to get at least 50 to celebrate with all of us!

Jehovahs Witness Thanksgiving

by Beans in

23 years ago

first i would like to say to all the canadians "happy thanksgiving" !

now for some reason the jw`s don`t celebrate thanksgiving because apparently everyday they thank jehovah and they don`t need a special day.

to me it is a family event and a good excuse to sit down together and relax.. now this gets interesting, my mother always buys a turkey the week after because they are cheaper and has us over for dinner the week after "jehovahs witness thanksgiving"!

.......and what about not celebrating mother's day, father's day, grandparent's day? Those aren't religious by any mean. Actually, in my mind they are merely Hallmark Holidays, but still...the thought behind them is special.

Maybe times have changed, but when I was growing up, we did not celebrate these holidays either.
