Just read this Commentary...http://www.channel3000.com/news/26164542/detail.html
And thought to myself, I hope it doesn't take me 20 years before I'll be able to get into the holidays
We are completely inactive at this point and have no intension of going back, however we do have all our immediate family in the Org so we still are trying to avoid being disfellowshipped or DA... not sure how long that will last, because I want to live my life and not have that hanging over my head forever.
I look at all the beautiful lights and trees and just want to get into it but I know if I dared the JW neighbors would turn us in. I wish we could just move and start over!! I just hate that they still have some power over what we do!
We did do a couple of fun new things this week. I send the teenagers on a scavenger hunt with clues for presents..they loved it! We also let them take a few presents to their friends at school and they came home with some goodies... they looked so happy to be included for a change.
Baby steps...
I hope you all enjoy your Christmas
