You're seriously asking this?
Me? If I came over to stay with my children and saw things like this publicly displayed, I can't say I'd trust your judgement afterwards.
...and as for the kids, I've got a teenager. If you were her age, you'd come off as cool. If you're over 25, you'd come off as a perv.

Personal rules I live by when talking to Christians
by free2beme inas a former witnesses, i have spoken to tons and tons of christians since my exit.
some want to convert me to their faith, heal me of what they see as false information in my youth and so on.
when ever i speak to them, not being a christian now, i have certain things that guide me.

Botr, I'm imagining you were in Central PA. Not much to talk about in certain areas out there. While I attend different churches according to my moods, I was raised and confirmed in the Episcopal faith. Welcome!
I agree with Lisa on this... it's enough to agree that there's a higher power and to celebrate an agreement on that. The rest is opinion.

Christmas presents
by Hortensia ini like a lot about christmas, lights, music, smells, food.
i like the idea of lots of presents, too, but i totally don't like the idea enforced by advertising that all of us must spend loads of money buying gifts for everyone we know.
and i think that gifts for adults should be consumable, a bottle of wine, candy, that sort of thing, a token of friendship, a little treat, but nothing grand.. so, i've made about four dozen jars of jam from wild grapes i picked in the fall, and i'm going to make lots of cranberry bread and pumpkin bread.

It's a good feeling to be basically done.
Must we brag? I haven't started! I told my daughter to buy her own boots and that I'd reimburse her, I haven't been near a toy store for my niece, and ...I mean... how hard could it be to find a sweatshirt and some slippers? *sigh*

Wait... wouldn't you have spoken to more non-JW Christians who wanted to convert and/or heal you from the perceived falsehoods taught to you as a youth before your exit? Since you had to knock on doors?... This has only been happening after you've left?
Has this happened to anybody else on this forum...

So, you left the JWs and created ....rules. Interesting...
I'm curious as to how you've managed to get into "tons and tons of conversations with Christians" who want to convert you. I deal with people at varying levels of association daily and am in an institution of 1500+ employees. I touch each of their lives at least once a year and many on a daily basis, but I can only tell you the denominational affiliation of a handful. NONE have EVER tried to "convert" me. I'm over 40 and have been a non-JW all my life. I've never run into this..."problem."
If I got into tons of tons of conversations, maybe I'd create rules too. I dunno....

Hortensia - Good for you! your gifts are from the heart. That's really cool. The cost of the gifts exchanged amongst many of those that I know (I'm a non-jw) are typically tokens of appreciation. The big-ticket items are reserved for the kids. You're only a kid once.
My 22 year old asked for boots. Her birthday gift was an Iphone. My mother asked for a football team's sweatshirt and my Dad wanted slippers. I buy nothing for my brother nor his wife, but buy something for their daughter and they do the same for mine. None of us relies on another to buy a gift that we can buy ourselves.
I suspect most over 30 would agree that the true goals of Christmas are the get-togethers and the food - not the gifts. :)

Today I received my first ever birthday gift!
by NVR2L8 ini received a parcel at work from my daughter and her boyfriend.
it contained a birthday card in the shape of a motorcycle leather jacket and a book on rides you can take using the back roads in my part of the world!
my eyes filled with tears as i was reading the card.
