If I were God I would be just like the God in the scriptures a pure, honest and loving God, it sounds to me that if you were God you would be like the God of Hell..

What is Christmas to an Ex-JW?
by Amazing inwhat is christmas to you?
if you were raised a jw, as my children were, getting used to christmas takes time, and does not carry with it any memories.
for others who became jws later in life, it took time to get over christmas and learn to discredit the custom and lose feelings for it, and in some cases even learn to hate christmas as an evil pagan evoluton of apostate christianity.. .

I caught this post at freeminds and there was a statement made that Jesus did not command us to celebrate Christmas and he did not tell not to celebrate it. He did not mention it because there was no such Holiday at that time to celebrate his birth. Then December 25th was a holiday that they celebrated the winter solstice. It was not till much later when Christindom (did I spell that right) came in that it was changed over to a Holiday called Christmas. Personally myself as a Christian I celebrate the holiday as Christ birth even though he was not born on that day I choose to use it as that particular celebration. I do not believe that it is proper to tell my children that there is a Santa Claus as it would therefore be untrue and a lie unless I was to tell them that we are all the Santas in the world. But to each their own as to how they wish to celebrate it. I do not believe it is a sin to celebrate it as long as I were not getting drunk or using drugs or doing other things that could be considered sin. Paul wrote that we should not judge a man for what he considers a day special as long as that day is done in the Lord then it is not wrong and then should not be judged as so.
One thing I have noticed is that the Jehovahs Witnesses do is twist the scriptures around very badly and it really concerns me that so many people are not capable of reading and understand what they are reading in the bible. I have never been a JW but I know many and I have a problem understanding how so many people cannot understand on their own and how so many will allow others to control there thoughts and emotions. People must be weak in their minds or something and maybe some of you can help me understand this. I think it is sad, very sad. Well no matter how one celebrates Christmas I wish all those who do the best and a safe one as well.....God Bless

Fran,
That was interesting to know. I often wondered how split families worked those things out, I have to wonder how many marriages that are half and half actually do celebrate the Holidays.
Yes Christmas has become very commercialized. A friend of mine and his wife told me one time that they got up the day after thanksgiving at like 4:30 am so they could go stand in line at the walmart store. He said in 15 minutes of being in the store his ankle got hit 3 times by shopping carts and there were 2 fights. Women fighting each other over a childs toy. It was funny in a way but also sad to see that people will go so low just for a stupid toy..
Well I did not get many replies to this thread but thanks to those who did and I wish everyone a warm and safe Merry Christmas...........
