It's funny that in ancient times the Jews had beard and had to grow their hair and the Egyptians were the ones who shaved.
So shouldn't shaving be considered just like birthdays and holidays to the JWs?
Isn't shaving beards a pagan practice?

You'd think.
One elder I knew years ago once grew a beard and went on a rant about shaving being pagan and how greeks did it so that they could look more feminine, and there was a lot of homosexuality that was related to that. I don't know how accurate that is, but it was entertaining to watch the other two elders try to calm him down and reinforce the cult's rules while having absolutely no scriptural ground to stand on.

Everything is pagan. We should all live in a bubble and never do anything... EVER.

Most of the bible stories are pagan--including resurrection of Lazarus--a most important event (and probably the last miracle) that could not be recalled by the first three gospel writers!!!
There are clear parallels between the "Jesus raising Lazarus" story and the Egyptian "Horus raising "El-Azar-Us" or "El-Osiris" story.

Internal proof is the most pronounced one. Lazarus who received such a great reward from Jesus never came forward to speak in support of Jesus during the mockery of his trial, nor came for preaching word after Jesus's death.
If youths of today can volunteer for IS and similar terrorist organization which they know would only bring eventual destruction, why did Lazarus not come forward for Jesus?
