my daughter tells me that experts say children tend to have false memories.
apparently their brain tends to fill things in that may not be totally accurate.. i refuse to believe that my favorite and comforting memory might not be true.
so here is to fond memories real or not.. the earliest memory i have is being put in a crib at a preschool.
Hi Kaik, thanks for sharing those memories. I know what you mean about remembering things more than people.
I have strong memories of the house I lived in when I was 5. I remember the wood floors, the lay out of the rooms and the big front porch.
I too went back to view the house, but could not find it. I still remembered the landmarks. I finally realized that they tore the house down. I was so disappointed.
during the holiday period one if my wife's brothers had planned a vacation in our area.
they drove about 6 hours to a condo they leased for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their married son and daughter.
they called my wife to let her know they were coming to visit us since they were 2 hours away.
Many JWs consider it a virtue and being "spiritually minded" to put "kingdom interests"first before family.
I dont think most witnesses ever realize how that looks to other people. They just want to look good in their circle.

Thanks for sharing prolongs and x. Your memories seem focused on physical sensations.... cold and pain. It is amazing the different ways we remember things.
this is a gem... charles sinutko had great skills at parenting.

the pale horse of death had just ridden again.
I am curious about the date & venue of this talk. Was this given at a convention ? Was this talk also given by others?
I think this talk is very enlightening. It explains how otherwise loving and intelligent parents can be manipulated into shunning their children.
The parents are to blame their children and then treat them as if they are dead because if the Elders say they deserve it then it must be so.
Where is the love?

Magnum: sorry I missed your post the first time. I really enjoyed your "snippets"of memories and looking through your childhood eyes.
Adults forget how impressionable children are and how much they absorb even if they dont seem to be paying attention.

Hortensia: Thank you for sharing your memories. It sounds like you had quite an interesting childhood.
Sowhatnow: I'm sorry your first memory was so unhappy.
I hope you had some happier ones to replace them.

Wasanelder: one of my fondest memories are of my mom reading us a chapter of peter pan every night. I was around 5. I still remember being dissapointed at the ending. A few years later my mom took us to the drive in to see the movie.

Troubled mind: I was just thinking about how smells can trigger memories. Those sound like wonderful memories.
My smell is the smell of cucumber plants. I spent a summer helping my mom pick cucumbers for vacation money. I think I was around 6.
Fiddlers: I'm glad you have some nice family memories. It is a shame your dad wouldn't be part of them.
I had fragmented memories of my extended family. Once I was in foster care I never got to see many of them again. Sometimes I wasn't sure if they existed until I met some later in my teens.
There was a woman I called Emma. I thought Emma was another word for aunt. I thought everyone had an Emma.lol.
I mainly remember houses I lived in. I categorize my memories by those houses.
