  presents wrapped in paper covered with nazi symbols nestling beneath a tree adorned with swastikas and grenade-shaped baubles: welcome to christmas under adolf hitler's third reich.. .

  as a new exhibition in the western german city of cologne shows, the nazis tried to skew the christmas story to do away with the jewish baby jesus and impose their racist ideology and propaganda on the popular festival.. "celebrating the birth of a jewish baby was unthinkable for the nazis," juergen mueller, the chief researcher behind the exhibition, told afp.. "but christmas was too popular to be banned.

  How many of you atheists, agnostics, deists are celebrating Xmas??

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  we are celebrating xmas this year for the first time.

  it's kinda weird because, even though we're doing a xmas tree, decorations, gifts, we're more or less taking the christ out of christmas.

  so how about the rest of you non-christian heathens?.

  A Brother on "Wheel of Fortune!"

  by watson in

  1. jw

  in the pre game interview, he mentioned that he works on the "rbc" committee to help build places of worship in his community.....a little evasive sounding to me, didn't actually say he was a jw minister.... he has a cleaning business and waits tables at an italian restaurant.

  wife and son.. i guess being on the wheel of fortune, is a "grey area.

  ".

  I saw the show and picked up on the "RBC" comment. I kind of figured it out after he said he had a cleaning business and worked at a restaurant. Poor guy didn't win much.

  i think that we should have a party to celebrate the year 2014. yes, it's a few years away but it's a pretty significant mark in time.

  it could be a lot of fun!

  any ideas or suggestions ?.

  OTWO-that is exactly what I was thinking, somewhere in the middle.

  LOL at the 'invisible' party!!

  It would be a celebration of life-life that has continued despite the lies of the WT, a celebration of the fact that many have overcame their bondage and are now living free from that mess.
