  Would/should a JW sell their Xmas decorations/ornaments for $?

  i wonder how this would be viewed -- a jw or "new one" selling for $$ their xmas stuff at a garage sale or other.

  would they be wrong in profiting financially and/or propogating the celebration of christmas?

  donating to a thrift store?

  i heard that the paper used in printing the green bible was cigarette paper!?!?

  anyone else heard that?

  i heard that because the paper was "cheap" and less expensive to purchase.
