  Is Christmas for Pagans?

  by LittleToe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  given that so many practises associated with christmas are blatantly christian in origin, is christmas truly for pagans?.

  i know that often there are few christian connotations attributed to it nowadays, in such a secularised society, but history is on record in showing that the whole baby jesus thing is definitely a christian element.

  would any true pagan today want to drink such a mixed cup?.

  Birthday celebrations and customs - Are they for Christians?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i sent my birthday document (http://thebentinel.com/jw-birthdays.html) to a poster here that is at the very least a jw-sympathizer, if not a full-blown jw.

  the response i got back indicated that my reasoning on it was seriously flawed and essentially any idiot with a passing knowledge of scripture and history can tell that birthdays are not something christians should celebrate.. of course, if you're not a bible-believer or a god-believer, you couldn't care less about pagan origins and all that.

  but let's keep this conversation on the 'appropriate for christians' vein.

  Matthew 24 Verse By Verse

  by Nate Merit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the 24th chapter of matthew text is taken from

  33 so you also, when you see all these signs, may be sure that he is near--at your very door.

  this indicates that "the end" will be something these apostles can reasonably hope to "stand firm to" long enough to see, i.e., within their lifetime.

  on a co-equal trinity and pagan holidays

  by sweetscholar in

  2. beliefs

  it's easy to see straws or beams or splinters in other people's eyes, and yet fail to notice the trunks and logs and things in our own eyes.

  but anyway, about those emails.

  there are points that are never really truly honestly addressed.

  JW's: Polytheists?

  by jstalin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking today about the issue of jesus' deity (or lack thereof), according to the wts.

  they say that jehovah is god, jesus is not the same as jehovah, but that jesus is a god.

  doesn't that make jws polytheists?

  Second Chance?

  by RU Saved in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does this quote mean that basically everyone will be resurected and then have another chance to learn about god during the 1000 year millennium?

  included in the earthly resurrection will be (1) the faithful witnesses of jehovah who died before christ did, (2) the billions of other people who will be brought back in the "resurection of judgement" and (3) the people of good will who today take their stand on god's side but who through sickness, old age or another cause happen to die before armegeddon is fought.

  it is thought that the earthly resurrection will be spread out over a period of time so that all these people after being resurected on earth can be taken care of in an orderly way, and without confusion.
