    When did this "Family Day" start? I know it wasn't when I was in. I never received sh_t from my family. Is this a WT blessed day?

    Family Day was something many JWs had so as to not let the kids feel bad about not getting anything. It was Christmas, either a day earlier or later.

    I felt uncomfortable having to follow rules that didn't make sense and having to force myself to be "good" and follow those rules to the alienation of our friends in the "world." I hated missing out on the fun and instead being bored at home. I didn't feel comfortable forcing myself to swallow and believe ALL that was said at the khell. I found myself dismissing some of what they said because it was just rediculous like you can't go to a class reunion because of bad associations even if you might see a JW there because guess what? They won't BE there! That was the first one I intended on ignoring and not feeling the least bit guilty.

    That bookroom smell that you are talking about is decades old DUST on those old books that so many of you mentioned aren't to be touched or read because they contain "old light." It is just the dust on them from never being read by "good" witlesses. I know cuz I smelled it, too.
