  Memories. .. share the earliest or most favorite childhood memory

  by MissFit in

  2. experiences

  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.

  Kaik,  that sounds like a great place to spend your childhood.  I am sorry you cant find the place again.  

  Maybe it's' better that way:

  Sometimes the memories are sweeter than the reality.

  Hi Smiddy. Thanks for sharing.  It really is amazing what things we remember.

  Im not sure how much we can actually trust the earliest memories.  The nice ones I think I will believe.  

  Have you ever compared memories of an event with members of your family? Were the events remembered similarly ?  How different were they?

  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.

  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.  

  To how the bible was created:  come to think of it, those fun stories and songs started  to get replaced by Kingdom songs and the" kid friendly" *rolls eyes*

  book Paradise Lost. *sigh*
