Did the Trick or Treat thing with the kids for the first time

    What a blast they had! I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old, and my oldest really put pressure on me to go out this year. Boy am I glad she did. What a dick I've been to deny them this small joy for this long. My wife and I still felt squimish about staying in the neighborhood, so we went to my friends area 15 min away. He's got kids the same age as mine.

    I had my friend in stitches at one point. He commented that my kids looked like they've been doing this for years. I said, well, we get a lot of practice going door to door.

    I am not looking forward to the moment when my kids blab to our JW family members that they went out for Halloween. Oh well!!

    Your kids will remember this and thank you when they are older.

    I think it's great!!

    JW, are you fading, DF'd, or DA'd? Or "other"?

    Fading.....the memorial was the last meeting i attended and it had been about 2 months prior to that.

    However our families know we don't attend, they're just in denial.

    The memorial was my last meeting in our old hall as well. (Not counting the JC hearing.)

    Your Halloween experience sounds much like ours. Glad you got to take them out!
