  Want to hear something funny ?

  my husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .

  just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .

  it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

  we still dont celibrate anything....no kids

  Hang on, that is too sad. It's time for you to BE kids, I don't care how old you are. So, make some of your own traditions; it's a lot of fun, and you deserve it.

  My first Xmas tree --- late 30s, had a ficus (weeping fig). So I cut out moons and stars from yellow, and hearts from red construction paper that I bought at the dollar store. I hung them with thead. Made a paper chain out of the same construction paper, and papered the pot that held the ficus with Xmas wrapping paper.

  It was a beautiful tree, and why? I did it just for the FUN of it - had no gifts, but a lot of hope .......... enjoy the holidays, start now.

  I would guess it's 'good advertising' for the JWS.

  They have always relied on getting converts from people who are needy. Like LG said 'lots of chicks' - yeah, and most likely a lot of single moms who are desperate for 'family' - perhaps the WTS sees this as an advertising opportunity.

  life after the wtbts

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can't move forward to a new, more interesting, possibly much happier life, if you're still looking behind at the former life.. there is so much obsession on here about what the wtbts is doing, and discussing all the forms of injustice and bullshit in the wtbts, or how to bring down the wtbts.

  yes, their doctrines are crazy and they are a cult and cruel to boot.

  move on.

  The best revenge is living well.

  :))

  

  And hey, yeah, I have one foot in the grave, and the other in the pain asylum. But I guaran-damn-tee you, that if I had my health, I wouldn't be hanging out online, arguing about Michael Whats-his-name or 1914. I'd be going to school, working, partying, whatever else ---- I'd be LIVING.

  Leave, and start again. If you happen to find a new life partner, well BLESSED BE, if you get DF for that, then carry on and live in PEACE.

  Yikes, yes - so leave, and let it go!

  (let it go, let it go, let it go)

  it's ok to share your xmas wishes here -- none of us is going to buy you anything, anyway!.

  i have a list of books on my wishlist at amazon, some about critical thinking, some about knitting, some about yurok indian basketry.

  i wouldn't mind getting any of those.

  Cool, thanks V, for the explanation. So, yeah, it's similar to an 'heirloom tomato', in that it's an original breed, and hell yeah, organic always tastes better, never mind the *is it better for you* argument. :D

  Hope T-day was a good celebration for all!

  Viviane, what is the difference? I would guess that "Heirloom" means wild stock, and bloodlines, similar to heirloom vegetables. What would 'heritage' be? (T-day is not such a big thing in Canada, so I'm a bit confused by the terms).
  
  Thanks!

  :)
