Hi Mary
The validity of Baptism is that it was biblically recognised as an act that commits you to your belief of a particular faith whichever you choose. Like getting married to whichever man you choose. Most religions have their forms of marriage or indeed Baptism. Marriage is not Pagan because other Religions choose to do it among their people as well. The same goes with Baptism.
That being said we wouldn't baptize our children to the Sun god Ra if we were catholics or to Baal if we are Buddhists.
Therefore why do we have celebrations from Pagan practices made over to Christianity?
Pagan celebrations are condemned, Birthdays were and still are Pagan celebrations. That is the bible principle involved (Mrs jones)
Please understand the meaning of celebrating something to the degree that it becomes sacred, special and untoucheable in your eyes? These Pagan feastdays do not honour Jehovah and a token tag on his son does not honour Jesus either. If they are not so important to you and the world why this debate?
Why not just accept we as Jehovah's witnesses simply follow the early Christian and Jesus's own example in not doing them.
The rest of your words were just an ad hominen attack. Do you think that stuff would upset me? I find it simply indicates a personis resorting to insults from a losing postion.
