  Why is it wrong for Christians to celebrate Christmas?

  by james_woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was inspired by terry's thread.... it is something that raises many questions about the jw belief system.. .

  for one thing - the bible certainly explains all the details of the christ birth.

  it certainly does not tell people to avoid celebrating it with feasts, customs, etc.

  It's not a sin nor is it wrong. look up the meaning behind pinatas and then read the article below:

  Piñatas I read with interest the article “The Piñata—An Ancient Tradition.” (September 22, 2003) It left me with some questions. The ties to false religion are well-documented. But the article seemed to take the position that as long as it doesn’t bother someone’s conscience, it is OK. What about birthdays and holidays such as Christmas?

  JW's are two-faced bastards.

  I wish I had never gotten involved in this cult/religion.

  Those of you stuck in with kids&question about spouse

  it is killing me now that i am awake, having kids in school and having to be jws.

  birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, having to go home or be left out because their teachers know they are witnesses and/or have kids from the school in their class or grade.

  it's a small town so the other jws in the hall know what's going on since their kids are in the same school.

  How did you feel when you got baptised? Seriously....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  so recently, several over-righteous ones in the cong were discussing "how amazing it felt when they got baptised".

  statements like "how awesome did it feel as you got raised back out of the water?!".

  or the classic "i felt so close to jehovah as i came out of the pool"!.

  Welcome to the board....it is a tough road. first question you need to ask yourself is: how much of a real JW is your wife? Having a kid could tilt it in either direction.

  Good luck and make your stand now....later will be too late

  remember....IT'S A CULT

  Ongoing frustration with wife

  by Flipping El in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've tried taking the slow, patient approach with my wife.

  i believe i first posted here about 13 months ago about my wife.. we've always had good communication and could talk endlessly about philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and then when i learned the ttatt, i clammed up a bit about spiritual things.

  i'd always been fairly liberal, suggesting other alternative ideas, but then i told my wife about the un/ngo scandal (i ran across the guardian story doing a talk as an ms, lol!

  my neighbor told me she had been talking about me recently.

  "i was saying to carrie in the office i just don't see how anyone can deny the existence of a higher power.

  she needed some q-tips, and found a box of them on the free table by the office.

  I once hear at a district assembly...one dumb person speaking from the podium. he said..." Jehovah doesn't help those who help themselves, you would have faith if you don't believe." I was like WTF.....You my friend are a DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  But, unfortuanately this is the attitude of all the JW zombies......that somehow magically Jehovah will provide without you getting off you ass and doing something about it. (LOL)

  Me, I believe in hard work and dedication to being successful. Hard work is what get the job done!!!!!!!

  Active JW who have not woken up are low IQ drones.
