No it didn't, I was df'd still thinking they had 'the Truth', I just couldn't handle the pressure anymore. Within a year I learned what's hidden behind the 'Kingdom smiles' and was glad I was free.

Oh and ILT... looking forward to your writing!
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.
Enjoy this wonderful new experience with your family. I'll never forget my first Christmas tree, a very small artificial one. I just loved it, so it stayed in the livingroom until February :D
stressed again with my circumstances.
very tiresome, but i need to be positive.

Here's also a video which is very funny and definitely will make you laugh!

another of my rants.... .
why am i still scared when i read something that the jw's have written?
why does it still upset me to read jw literature?
You're probably right adamah... Maybe I'm just being caught on another tiny piece of old 'cult thinking'... some sort of stupid pride residue about "our" pubs... Need some more rewiring!
under jw.org/children.....become jehovah's friend...time to get ready.....they are encouraging kids to dress the doll up and get them ready for service!!!.
my god......this is so sick.
Of course it's making us vomit when we see this, we're out of the cult. But I have to admit, when my kids were young there was nothing for them, only the Book of bible stories. I often felt sorry for my kids, that they were so left out. At least the organisation is doing something for the kids now. (Even though we know it's brainwashing and dragging them deeper in their cult).
we have not had a tv for about 2 years.
and even befor this we did not have cable and spent very little time in front of the tv.
that does not mean that we are anti entertainment.
We've still got our television set, but we only watch things we've downloaded from the internet or things we've got on DVD, like concerts and movies and nice youtube videos. We are not connected to any cable or satellite provider.
I also download Dutch programs from the Dutch stations to watch every now and then and some old series I used to watch years ago. We don't watch every day.
And yes, it's great to not have to see all those commercials!
