  Christmas and birthdays...

  by Celia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this thought came to me this morning, as i was lying in bed, trying to figure out which end is up.... the jws dont celebrate christmas, the birth of christ their savior.... because in earlier times, the same date was used to celebrate the return of the sun, the winter solstice.... (by the way, celebrating the return of the sun makes a lot of sense... no sun - no life..... we know the sun is there, we know what it does, no such thing about a god...) .

  but i regress.. so, because on this date, pagans used to celebrate the sun, the jws dont want to celebrate christs birth..... its a little bit like not wanting to celebrate the birthday of a loved one, because he/she was born on the same day as a bad guy in history, like hitler, or napoleon, or slobodan milosevic, or saddam hussein, or osama bin laden... etc.... hmmm... my thinking is flawed, because, of course, the jws dont celebrate birthdays either.... question : did they first decide that christmas was evil or birthday celebrating was ?.

  edited because the emoticon does not work.... :) :?

  Go where the need is great...

  with all the talk about terrorism, the horrors of the taliban regime and the suffering of the afghan people, shouldn't the watch tower society ask their followers to "move to where the need is greater".... shouldn't the jws try to convert all afghan people and the leader of the taliban to christianity ?
