  Why They Quit Celebrating Christmas.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this from the proclaimers book, page 199.. when shown ( who showed them?

  ) that celebrating the birth of jesus had actually become of greater interest to people than the ransom provided by his death; that the revelry of the holiday and the spirit in which many gifts were given did not honor god; that the magi whose gift - given was being imitated were actually demon - inspired astrologers; that parents set an example for their children in lying by what they told them about santa claus; that "st. nicholas" ( santa claus ) was admittedly ( who admitted this ) another name for the devil himself; and that such festivals were, as acknowledged by cardinal newman in his essay on the development of christian doctrine, "the very instruments and appendages of demon - worship' the church had adopted ---------- when made aware of these things ( who made them aware ) jehovah's witnesses promptly and permanently stopped having any part in christmas celebrations.. so, let me get this straight, from 1919 ( when they were supposedly selected by jesus as the faithful and discreet slave,) they continued this demonic practice of celebrating christmas until a member of christendom, cardinal newman and not jesus, showed them , made them aware, some seven years after jesus saw fit to select them as his slave, that all this time they were celebrating a demonic holiday.. who is lying to whom?

  stop blaming the parents and everyone else for your own blatant bold faced lies!.

  Saint Nicholas was not Dutch.

  Here is a good website to learn about the origin of what is not seen as Santa Claus, http://www.stnicholascenter.org/Brix?pageID=38

  The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in Patara, a village in what is now Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus' words to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.

  The Dutch did bring Santa Claus to the Americas, they called him Sinter Claus.

  One, you are a little general with your comment in this post. What about Christmas do you consider pagan? Just give one or two thing we can chew on. Also you stated that,

  Anything I ever read or heard did not refute jw doctrines.

  Do not know what you are reading, but it must only be WTS literture.

  //What if Micheal Moore made a documentary on the WTS

  by Goldminer in

  .

  i recently watched the 9/11farenheit documentary and found it very interesting.how much is actually true and how much is not,i don't know,but i got the impression that micheal moore is for real and trying to open people's eyes to truths we don't see.. anyways,i was just sitting there,wondering what kind of documentary he'd come up with if he decided he wanted to look into the wts.i believe it would be very interesting,and definitely an eye-opener.of course the shallow-minded jw would say it's all propaganda no matter how clear the subject was presented.. i'd love to hear your thoughts on this ...any ideas for a title?

  Suggest you get "Fahrenhype 9/11", you might not want Michael Moore on your side after that. There is enough against the WTS without having to resort to the documenting that Michael Moore did for "Fahrenheit 9/11"

  It surprises me that they relate the appearance to The Angel of God to being Jesus. That is very main stream Christian, but they do take away the diety aspect of these appearances.

  Do "Born-Again Christians" lie on JW's to put them in a bad light?

  by booker-t in

  i was reading a book on early church fathers and early christian doctrines.

  i could not put the book down.

  i noticed that some of the early church fathers "denounced" war frowned upon celebrating holidays and also "birthdays" some of their arguments sounded exactly like jw's and if you did not know you would have thought you were talking to some jw's.

  Face it: unless you WERE a JW, you don't FULLY get it. You think you might, but you won't.

  I agree, since I was not a JW, I will not fully know. But his site is helpful in providing insight for us non-JW. But I will continue to try and understand. Because if I can Just help one person, it will be worth it.
