New member says hey

i have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.

so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.

as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

Welcome. Glad you're here with us.

I live only a few hundred miles from Roswell. It's a really big deal down there still. Every year they have a big celebration on the anniversary of the crash...

yo homies.. .

ltr ftp (long time, first time etc.).

i don't really know where to start, but i guess you've all been here before so you'll know where i'm coming from.

Welcome Limbo! I know it's difficult at first, we're kind of newbies also, and we are happy that you are here with us! Just breathe. It does get easier. Take time to give your mind a chance to become clearer. Hubby & I had to re-learn everything of what we thought we knew of the bible. We understand tho how some can become so disheartened that they cannot possibly believe in God. But you will sort it all in time.

The FIRST Memorial Ive missed in 41 years

by Londo111 in

last year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.

the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.

afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

Wrong week to stop sniffing glue: Do you know Don't call me Shirley? He's a new poster. Same movie, just a thought.

This will be Hubby & I first time missing in 49 yrs. We plan on doing a quiet celebration at home by ourselves. I just posted the bread recipe on the other thread about the Memorial if anyone needs it.

Anyone else celebrating the Memorial with just their families at home tonight?

tonight, i have decided to bake unleavened bread so that my partner and i can have our own memorial at home.

i already have the wine, and i will be serving it in an authentic ancient greel drinking vessel called a kantharos that was used in ancient times.

i've collected ancient greek and roman coins and antiquities for quite a few years, and i thought it would be neat to try be be as authentic as possible by serving the emblems in ancient wares.

Newly Enlightened

Yes. Hubby & I will be celebrating at home for the first time without WTBT$ crap. Authentic as possible is a very nice touch Cowboy.
