Most of the world most of the time throughout history was pagan. That includes the Jews.
It's a simple fact.
A good dictionary will tell you what that really meant. It meant you were a country bumpkin, living mostly outside of a big city.
As city folk became more sophisticated, they looked down on those 'other' folks outside the gates. Being pagan would be the equivalent of saying "white trash" today smile emoticon
Eventually, being pagan simply meant being anything other than Christian.
JW's are poodles. They are lapdog narcissist Christians who think they are better than everybody else. It isn't surprising they have a long list of things which tick them off about everybody who ISN'T them.
They obsess, They nitpick. They parade about in self-purity.
Take, for example, the fetish obsession about THE CROSS. They reject it and pretend it wasn't used to execute Jesus by the Romans for the SILLY reason it is pagan.
Well, Romans were pagan. How's that for a fact?
What did you expect pagan Roman soldiers to do--ask the Rabbi which form of death he'd prefer?
Chinese use chopsticks, Romans crucify with crosses, get over it.
All JW contrarian nonsense is a peacock narcissism connected with showing off how holier-than-thou and special they imagine themselves to be.
If they treated each other better and learned to love and care for their fellow man as much as they adore their self-righteousness they might be worth a bucket of warm spit.
"We don't celebrate birthdays."
Yeah--and you don't feed the hungry either.
"We don't celebrate Christmas."
Yeah--and you don't build hospitals, universities or women's shelters.
"We're they only Christians who use Jehovah's name."
Yeah--especially when predicting false Armageddon dates.
"We go door to door just like Jesus commanded."
Yeah--feeding goofy religious slop to unwary folks and calling it "food."
PAGAN?
You people have so many more important problems to worry about!
Can you say: "Pedophilia"?
