I spent all afternoon wrapping my kids presents, they both have their birthdays December/January, so they do get presents all year as it's too long to wait. Having said all that, my still in JW land wife didn't want the kids left out, she insisted on getting presents for them at New Years before I faded so they didn't feel left out. I wonder how many other families do the same?

"We get presents all year; who needs Christmas"
by WTWizard ini don't know how many times i have heard that lie from the platform.
i have heard that line of rubbish at big and great boasting sessions as well.
the witlesses act as if they get as many toys as worldly people, just scattered throughout the year.. now, i have seen many cases where that simply isn't true.

Sparlock Child's Toy Makes Jehovah Sad!
by frankiespeakin inwell according to the governing body aka> jehovah's spokesman for the entire earthly population, a toy such as sparlock that is in the posession of small children who's parents are jws makes jehovah "sad".. well if that is true then jehovah needs to see a psychiatist for depression caused by unreasonableness and phobias.
if this little child toy makes him sad, and prone to wrath and murder, as biblical accounts show him wipeing out vast portions of the human and animal populations when his sadness hits major proportions, he also needs to take some anger management courses to get a handle on his sanity and riegn in his jealousy which seems destructive and out of control at times.. it is no idle speculation that if jehovah finds sparlock offensive and makes him depressed, he's got some serious mental issues, but realistically this sadness is all a projection of the governing body and shows them to have the issues that they are projecting on a imaginary figure whom they call jehovah.
in other words the currant governing body are a bunch of mentally sick bastards in a delusional state of mind..

Maybe he's sad because he wanted one for Christmas and then realised he doesn't celebrate it

Welcome CT, you have a long life ahead of you, keep learning and be true to you, do what you feel right, not just to please others.
I wish I was your age again, I'd have faded fast, as my circumstances would have made it easy. If I had I wouldn't have wasted 20 years.

Storing up treasures in heaven - when do we get to see them?
by truthseeker ini often heard the phrase "store up treasures in heaven" but never really knew what it meant.. if we're all going to be living on paradise earth, what good is it storing up treasures in heaven if we never get to see them?.
or am i missing something here?.
it would make better sense if we were going to heaven after we finish our life here..

This Ex Jehovah Witness Must Say Good Bye For Now, Thanks For you help.
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inpeace and love to you all, good bye until i can find myself in a deeper sense.
jwn has helped me get a better grip with reality, knowing we are all kinda tweaked from our collective experience.
the pain the religion has inflicted on the innocent men and women is not cool, i know you will keep up the good work and please watch over the newbies who are looking for comfort, support and the listening ear.

I can't imagine the pain of losing one of your children, reality is no-one wants anyone to go through that pain.

This really works to shut up the elders and other do gooders prying questions
by harleybear infor what ever reason i have been contacted by a number of jw's as to why i do not attend the meetings etc.
in the past i have blown it off by saying i am super busy, tired, sick etc.
i had the opportunity just last week when i ran into an elder and his wife at the grocery store to respond to their comment.

I said this to an elder who said I should write to the 'society' and let them know my concerns! That was before I left and realised they already knew the stupidity of it and yet insist on sticking with it
