    Same boat until I was 6 or so. The "haha" funniest part is after my mom got the boot from the org, she tried to put the genie back in the bottle about Santa Claus. Sorry, sister, that ship sailed years ago.

        Exactly. Like, once you see Christmas for what it is from the outside looking in, even if you have the luxury to join in, why would you?

        My dad was a lifer born into the JWs so getting disfellowshipped fucked him up. My mom just went back to pretending her way of worshipping Jesus was just fine.

        I'm an atheist.

            That's actually kind of cool. You all remaining friends and all.

            This all went down when I was young and my parents were splitting up anyhow. The town I grew up in I never went back to, and ended up moving around to dozens of places before graduating. Basically, I have no concept of what it means to maintain friendships, and I'm beyond socially awkward even though I'm extroverted and sorta gregarious.
