Well, I was happy to get a card today! Also, to find out there's one of us right in my area.
Really enjoying sending cards to all my friends that left the religion and new ones, too!
Next year we are definitely doing photonoon the cards and a festivus message!
a sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?
) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.
anyone else remember that gem?.
Just last year, when I was still in, a sister relayed the Earth, Wind, Fire urban legend. So happy to be free of all superstitious nonsense.

lovegrove, an ontario- based writer, was raised as a jehovah until she was 14 years old.
in interviews, lovegrove has said that the story is not autobiographical, but the setting is familiar to her.
Looks interesting. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

One more attempt.
i'm married with small children.
my wife and i both born-in and baptized jws.
i began my slow drift about a year ago.
Awesome! Get some family bonding traditions going and enjoy the season!
the director of the famous pbs film "knocking", is the gay son of a jw.
he is currently running for supervisor in san francisco.
good read from 2010 washington post ;.
Bttt. Seeing some JW's post about how balanced and wonderfully made this film is regarding the JW religion, I decided to google the film and noticed the main site only contains complimentary comments. The witnesses I know are thrilled about the actor Terrance Howard's comments, but caution that he needs to get on the boat soOn. Oy vey.
this is the kind of thing that really burns me.. .
wtbts holds out an extreme double standard in regards to education.
most, if not all, of you know how they feel about obtaining an education past high school (in the u.s.).
A sister posted today on Facebook how she wished she had listened, followed the advice and not been lured into higher education...what a mistake it was. Mind you, she's a licensed mental health practioner now. Sigh.
we had fun putting together our first artificial tree last week, it came out so pretty!
the lights and cheap ornaments just add to it.. we have been careful to close our blinds at night to avoid our jw neighbors from calling in the elders, that worked for a few days until we decided to go out for an early dinner and yes, i forgot to close the blinds!
as we drove up to the garage door i could see the tree in the front room and started to freak out a little.
My teen and I decorated our first one, too. She also wanted to get a Menorah and light that during Hanukkah. Cozy times and new memories as we build our new life.

BTT. 'Tis the season!
so many have faded away for various reasons, or get df and stop attending meetings and go on with their lives.
i wonder how many of them have researched that the org may not be the truth, and how many go on believing it, but just mve on with their lives because they feel they are inadequate, cant live up to the standards, etc and feel they will be destroyed in armadeddon.
they physically free themselves but mentally are slaves.
I have found out the hard way that not as many as I hoped know TTATT. Having to tread lightly has been a lesson learned the hard way.
