I wasn't in the religion long enough to actually not really celebrate I was only in it until I was 5... But I Love X-Mas...The best time of the year besides my Birthday

do you enjoy it after so many years of not celebrating?
does it have any relevance to you now?.
i live in nz and it doesn't feel like xmas to me cause it's the middle of summer - it just doesn't compute so that helps really all in all.

how many here have in their possession troll dolls or smurf dolls?.
i am not sure about the rest of the world, but here in the states - these were considered 'demonistic' (oooohhhh!
), and were pretty much forbidden in the toyboxes of children.. since i have left, i have acquired a few for myself - one sits on the refrigerator - with a magnet - another on a shelf around here ... somewhere (he seems to walk around on his own *grin*).. sooooo... how about you?.
I used to own a few troll dolls, wouldnt let any one touch them because they were my special toys... I played with them every day with my friend(she had her own of course) It was fun! lol

i was never baptised because i was to young, i was in it until i was 5 years old.
but it ruined my life and still is because my dad, nanny, grandfather, my step nanny, my aunt and uncle...all on my dads side of the family are still in it, so i get lectured alot about things that have to do with the "truth" or i hear him talking about and all i think it, "what a bunch of garbage.
he never really yells at me, i don't think he can because he barely ever see's me, i try to avoid going there as much as possible.
((((double edge))))
((((Jade))))
((((Sheila))))

I wasn't in the religion that long and I'm glad because I was never treated nice by them, accept one person... we were really close and I see her every now and then and she hugs me and says, "I'm so proud to see you at the meetings, Keep it up." And I smile and think, "Psssh yeah right, don't count on seeing me here as much as you'd like." Then she would hug me some more, and she would say tell your mother I said "hi"... hmmm sounds kind of weird. Why would she want to say Hi to my mom for, when she hasn't been talking to her for years because of her shunning her out?
I have a temper that can be triggered very easily over the most little things, and I know most of it comes from the religion and that my dad neglected me for several years, well all my life... When he would call me and say he was comming over I would get so so so happy because I barely ever seen him so I would wait for him by the screen door, and of course I was waiting and wait and wait...etc...etc... and when I would realize that he wasn't comming I would he the biggest fit ever, I would throw every little thing in my room down the stairs and when everything was down there, crayons, dolls, clothes, stuffed animals..etc... I would stand at the top of the stairs and scream then fall all the way down The things that also might have triggered my temper was when my mom was in it and I was going to the meetings I would cry every meeting, have a big fit beccause I didn't wanna sit there I wanted to be outside playing on the playground with my friends not sitting there listening to people talking about how everyday life is a new step to learning "The Truth" and how people that were not in the religion must be talked into joining. Like whatever, so as I was saying I would have a big fit scream kick and punch anyone who tried to take me out of the room and they had to take me in the back room and sit me there and hold my mouth shut becuase I was like screechy off the care bears(really loud screamer,)
Some times when I stayed over at my fathers he would tell me and my sister to get ready for the meeting and we would but one time my sister was sick and she didn't wanna get up to go, so she simply told him "No I'm feeling sick I can't go" and he freaked out telling her that she better not say no to him again and told her to get up again and she said no... so he left stomping in a huff...and came back with his belt and said do you stil wanna say no to me and hit her three times. I thought if he swings at her one more time and hits her I'm grabbing the belt but he didn't.
My father never really hit me ever in my life but the little things that he did made me more upset then hitting me ever could like when he would come home from work I would run up to him and latch around his leg and wouldn't let go and yell and scream of happyness, and he would just say yeah hi now get off me... just those little things hurt more than anything else.
Another time not too long ago when I was living with my father( my uncle lives there as well) and my cousins were over playing or whatever and when they went to bed, Makayla and shaina were crying but makayla started screaming and having a big fit(remind you of any one) all you heard was be quiet BANG!!!! Like he smashed her head on the wall...and she shut up! Me and Chennelle(my sister) just looked at eachother then I called him a loser...
But this is all I can say right now because I am not at home and my nanny wants to go now, But when I get home I will add more if I can!
