3 Kings vs. Santa

by Wordly Andre in

in spain as well as most hispanic countries, presents are given on los reyes magos day, the 3 kings day and presents are given by the kings, melchor, gaspar and baltasar and not santa.

if that tradition was more popular here in america would christmas be more meaningful for you?

So if you love presents, you should live in America, have Nothern European and Hispanic roots and marry a Dutch or something.

This way you will get presents the Dec. 6 (Dutch Sinterklaas), on Christmas Eve (Norway), Christmas Day (America) and the 3 Kings' Day (Hispanic, and Eastern Europe?)

Though, it might be too much

Is this true what I just read?

by worldtraveller in

jw
friends

mr. comacho,.

you call people dumb but many of them have first hand knowledge about the jw religion.

and, they do control their followers...did you know that non-jw are considered goats?!?

kifoy

Of course they where referred to as goats. Especially those really nasty ones we met in FS. Happened many times. "Oh, we met a real goat at that last house over there". Oh, yes. We felt bad about it, of course, especially when we were corrected by one of the more conscientious in the group: "we should not say that, what if someone hear us, or what if that person has a sudden change of heart and find the truth anyway..." or something.

Not proud of it, but yes, I've called several grumpy non-witnesses for "goats".

(( there seems to be no #5 anymore!))

I can't remember that there ever was a # 5 talk... So they must have removed it at least 20 years ago. Unless my memory is really bad.
That could of course also be the case

Thanks jgnat That explains it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Watchtower_publications says that this book was published in 2001. That's when I faded away.

Some of the settings are almost doomed to be non-realistic:
"2. Overcoming a potential conversation stopper" (Yeah, JWs are conversation stoppers themselves, but they don't see it)
"23. Conversing with an atheist or an agnostic" (And of course the setting will have ahappy ending...)
"24. Witnessing to an animist, a Buddhist, a Catholic, a Hindu, a Jew, a Muslim, a Protestant, or someone of another local religion" (And I wonder how they figure out how a buddhist would answer to a specific question? Through the "Man's search for God" book? Hah!)
