CHRISTMAS: December 25th DOES have a Biblical foundation! CHECK IT OUT!
by Lady Liberty in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my mother and i were talking about christmas being in december, and how the christians felt it was truely a victory to have christ jesus birth still celebrated, unlike the pagan sun god that was celebrated by the pagans at the same time.

we got to talking and realized that if you count backwards from when scholars really feel jesus was most likely really born (in september), and count back 280 days of pregnancy, it would actually be late december!!!

could it be that the birthday was from the date of conception, not delivery???

John 1:1 in the KIT, how blind a JW must be to actually believe the WT
by A-Team in
1. watchtower
2. bible
ok, ya know the scripture and all, but there is something that even jws can't even deny.

in john 1:1, the word god, or theos.

the lower case word of god, in the greek is qeov, the upper case word is "8eov" (my keyboard doent have that letter as you know) the word god appears twice in this verse, written the exact same way.

Is there anyway possible that a JW can disprove someone...
by A-Team in
1. watchtower
2. bible
(this is zone, i forgot my passowrd and my e-mail has been disbaled...so dont treat me as a new member).

who has found over 700 verses on a particular subject (the laws of the torah and coevnants of jehovah)?.

anywho, i find it odd that they claim that we are no longer under the mosiac law, and all laws under it arn't required to be practiced anylonger.
