Euphemism
I've gotta agree with Elsewhere... giving the recent liberalizing trend on things with "pagan origins", I doubt that they're imposing a new rule on fireworks.
Any chance we could get a scan of the whole article, shotgun?

or they could... at some future point quote that article as a point of authority. They have a habit of doing this, they'll quote a past WT article and use it as the point of authority for a postion taken or a change in thinking. Then they can't say it's a change because we've always said ... whatever...
What about fireworks in the bedroom?

"Indoor Fireworks" is a great Elvis Costello song.
They should have an article about not saying "Thursday". True christians avoid paying homage to Thor.
Happy "Paulsday"

Undercover,
"When considering whether to include a pinata at a social gathering, Christians should be sensitive to the conscience of others. (1Cor 10:31-33) A main concern is, not what it meant hundreds of years ago, but how it is viewed today in your area . Understandably, opinions may vary from one place to another. Hence, it is wise to avoid turning such matters into big issues."
Just wondering where this quote is from?
Jeeez, this line caught my eye:
Hence, it is wise to avoid turning such matters into big issues."
I can't hardly believe they could write that with a straight face.

Happy "Paulsday"
LOL, Huxley! Isn't that giving too much honor to Paul, too? Jeez, there's not even a "Jesusday"! or a "Jahday"!
And while we're tossing out other JW concessions to a pagan world: How about wedding rings? Have these circles ever been commented on in the pages of the WT?
