the hypocrisy of the wts knows no bounds

most jws would say, "but we have faith in jehovah, jesus and the bible, not in men.

Disassociating myself ...

well, it had to come to this eventually.. this winter my wife and daughter and i celebrated christmas with my in-laws, with whom we currently live (high school english teachers don't make much money!).

my in-laws have been inactive for about two years, and this year, they decided to celebrate the holidays.

one reason for this is that their son, who is eight, has multiple disabilities -- can't see, trouble hearing, other, quite sever, issues -- and christmas, with its presents and wrapping and loud carols and trees and wreaths is, well, a very accessible experience for him, the way, say, my kingdom ministry and the watchtower are not.. well, as a household we went all out.
