  Holiday questions

  by searchingforfriends in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking about some things, and realized i can't remember ever being given good reasons for not celebrating certain holidays... i was wondering if anyone here can help out with this.

  jw's like to complain about origins of certain holidays and have come up with a bunch of reasons why they are bad, (such as birthday's and christmas) but there are others that all i've ever heard is just not to take part, or that jehovah doesn't like it.

  even though i was "raised in the truth" i can't remember ever hearing why.....

  Purple Triangle

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching a documentry last week and it was about concentration camps, i was not paying much attention because i was on my computer at the same time, however they were talking about the different badges of shame that were put on the prisoners shirts.

  when they got to the purple triangle it was said that, that meant the prisoner was a religious fanatics, now growing up the jw's always said that the purple triangle was for jw's, i am not saying they were not in the camps but, there were other religous groups that the members were taken by the nazi's because of their religious beliefs not just the jw's.

  not too long ago i was talking to a jw about this same topic, he said the purple triangle was only for jw's and went on about the abuse and killings suffered because the nazi's targeted jw's.

  Exposure

  by imissmaine in

  it is has been quite disturbing reading all the stories on jwd.

  it is truly sickening.. i am curious if anyone has pursued getting negative tv exposure about the jehovah's witnesses and their practices?.

  for example, submitting an idea to oprah: https://www.oprah.com/plugger/templates/beontheshow.jhtml?action=respond&plugid=b2100004.

  Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!

  2. beliefs

  i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

  theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

  we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.
