    Here's average weather in Bethlehem for December. No freezing temperatures noted. Sheep and shepherds would be fine in those temps.

    Check accuweather.com, for Bethlehem in December. Shows average temps, "historical evidence" averages.

    Sorry, can't do a copy & paste. Maybe someone here can put on here for convenience for others?

    Thanks to Accu Weather the WTS might have to make an " Adjustment "

    When hubby throws out that we "got the date wrong", I say, "Who cares about dates? Japanese schoolchildren all celebrate their birthday on the same day. It's not the date that matters, but the celebration. If angels celebrated the birth of Jesus, why can't we?"

    jgnat: Interesting point. For that matter, we don't know how to say God's name, but Witnesses use it anyway because they say it's so important!

    Lol. Apologists quoting apologists. Jesus never existed, he was a mythological figure in the first century already.

    William Penwell "The two indivuals you are quoting from as your proof material lived over a hundred years after Jesus was born."

    So you're saying they were from the same 'generation' as Jesus then.

    I guess as far as the JW's are concerned that would be proof. There is no proof that a person by the name of Jesus even existed.
