  I love Christmas! I couldn’t wait to celebrate when I left. I’m married to a Polish Catholic guy, and we have our traditions. Now that I’m retired, I have more time to bake. It was very important to me to make traditions for our family, since I didn’t grow up with any. We always let our daughter open 1 gift on Christmas Eve, it was usually pajamas. We set up a tree, have gifts, watch Christmas movies, and have a big feast on Christmas Day with family. While the kids are little, we remember to have a small cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Take that, Watchtower! I love Christmas!

  I like Punky’s list! But Seabreeze’s is spot on, too. A teacher wrote a note in my report card in first grade, recommending that I join the Girl Scouts. She said it would help me to socialize and be part of the other girls. My parents, of course, mocked her suggestion and ignored it. 😢

  Newtons prediction for end of the world

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.

  interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .

  what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.

  Did Sir Isaac Newton consult with Jehovah, and the Governing Body? If he didn’t, that’s just apostate lies.

  "The Truth"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that jws consider the wt religion to be "the truth" and refer to it as such.. granted, that phrase is used repeatedly in the literature and from the platform.. but it's obvious that much of what the organization used to require jws to teach house-to-house as important truths--even within our own lifetimes--has been abandoned.

  it's been replaced by "new light" and "refined understanding.

  what's meant by "the 1914 generation" is a prime example.. in fact, i think it would be hard to find another religion that has changed so many of its teachings, especially in such a short period of time.. so why do jws still believe their religion to be "the truth"?.

  How do they know their religion is “the truth”? Because the GB says it is, and we can trust them, because Jehovah and Jesus trusts them, too. 😂

  Another diabolical, disingenuous, nutcase illustration

  by Beth Sarim in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this has been weighing on my mind all day,.

  i just have to vent and get this off my chest.. the latest jw brainwashing, indoctrination session i think it was a broadcast.

  toward the end where the speaker was spouting-off about being in a 'race' again and 'enduring until the end',.

  Which of you readers are being shunned by their relatives / friends ?

  by stan livedeath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
