What song best epitomizes what keeps you going
by Lady Lee ini know a lot of song threads have been posted but i am interested in what and why a particular song moves you to keep going when you have lost so much.. if possible find the lyrics to the song and post them along with your what song and why it was so important.
as a kid i had an old 78 record player that i had to wind up to play (i did say old.
) there was one old record that had a song by ed ames 'the impossible dream" i was in foster care and had no contact with my family.

Making you own traditions in the Holiday season.
by free2beme inmost of the time, a tradition is something that is passed on to you, from the way you were raised and the traditions your parents taught you.
some, can be as simple as reading, "the night before christmas" on christmas eve night or as complex as making sure to eat certain items in your christmas meal, following a recipe passed down from generation to generation.
where does one find tradition, from a family that spent the christmas holiday going to meetings, or sitting around watching television?

Hypocrisy on holidays, etc.
by Rebirth ini was just thinking about how hypocritical it is for jw's to declare things like birthdays, christmas, easter, thanksgiving, etc.
as defiled because of their roots.
their roots, their beginning, in the days of russell, are the things that they find disgusting today (the cross, birthdays, blood, etc.).
