why celebrate xmas?

by enoughisenough in

many on here are ex jw....they have left the jws because of coming to find out the many false indoctrinations.

one of the things learned as a jw is that there isn't anything true about xmas being the birth of jesus.

( matt chapter 2 tells a whole different narrative about the baby jesus than what is portrayed by the christian churches) they learn the ways that are celebrated are pagan practices jesus told the samaritan woman that god wanted to be worshipped in spirit and it truth.

I said this to a JW who is still friendly despite my "leaving the truth":

"If I went out into my street with a baseball bat and killed two people with it, would I be guilty of murder?"

The JW immediately said, "Yes, of course."

Then I said, "OK, but what if they were both religious terrorists who had swords and were trying to decapitate a neighbor's head?"

They then agreed with me that the authorities would find me innocent - due to my motives!

Whatever a person's motives are for celebrating Christmas or using pagan names for days/months of the year, or wearing a necktie, or enjoying all the aspects of a wedding which include a ceremony, white dress, veil, cake, etc., (all of which have pagan connections) it's entirely personal, and down to them.

w50 7/1 p. 199 par. 6 - Today the servants of Jehovah engaged in proclaiming the “good news” of the Kingdom...are busy in the King’s service “hunting” for the Lord’s other sheep, where they can be found. After they find one of the Lord’s sheep, they do as the Master told his disciple: “Feed my sheep.” Repeated visits are made on these, and home Bible studies are conducted with them, to the end that they may learn the good purposes of Jehovah...

jehovah's witnesses denied state aid.

I wonder - so as not to be seen as discriminating/persecuting JW's - if the Norwegian government will target any other religion for their unpleasant practices, and create new laws to deal with them?

@ Bartolomeo - I posted this 2 days ago, but it wouldn't upload, so I assumed my PC was at fault, and re-posted it.

Same thing happened again, so I didn't bother a 3rd time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/scottish_national_party - "however, others in the party were explicitly pro-nazi.

hugh macdiarmid, who stood as an snp candidate in 1945, believed that the nazis were "less dangerous than our own government" and wrote a poem about the london blitz that included the line "i hardly care".

arthur donaldson, who went on to lead the party between 1961 and 1969, believed a nazi invasion would benefit scotland: "the government would leave the country and england's position would be absolutely hopeless, as poverty and famine would be their only reward for declaring war on germany.

@ notsurewheretogo - a close friend insisted that independence was the best thing for Scotland. I asked him how I would be better off financially and in other ways. No definitive answers - but claimed every country who gained independence was far better off.

I'd vote for an independent Scotland - if undeniable benefits were offered which overwhelmed the serious consequences it would cause, but the SNP hasn't and can't genuinely answer the huge questions which will/could threaten people's livelihoods.

Leaving a union causes serious downsides to the working classes. Brexit still isn't over - and as far as I can see, there have been no significant benefits to the UK.

Why are Scots still paying more for alcohol than the rest of the UK - based on the SNP's minimum unit alcohol price which has been shown to be a worthless computer model?

The extra cash doesn't go to the NHS, it is kept by the retailer! Just like the alleged "environmental charge" for bags supplied by org's like McDonald's - the businesses keep the extra cash!

And MacD's automatically give & charge everyone for bags, unless you specifically tell them 'No thanks.'

I agree with your point 100%!

UK electorate = 46,144,009

17,411,565 of the UK electorate (37.73%) voted to leave the E.U.

The 'Leave' vote did not represent the interests or choice of the majority.

@ SBF - You appear to be a supporter of democracy by these statements: "attempting to deny democracy doesn’t work" and "a desperate attempt to deflect from the basic issue of democracy."

Clearly, the SNP doesn't agree with you! Having lost TWO democratic referendums, they lose the plot and try to encourage more hatred by Scots for the UK and the English themselves.
"Playing games with election results?" Your use of terminology in an attempt to deflect from a cast-iron truth does you no credit. I thought you were better than that.

I said: 62.38% of the electorate didn't vote for Scotland to leave the UK. Disprove this!!!!

Let me put it a different way - as 2 questions - to see if you still say 62.38% is wrong:

Scotland has an electorate of 4,300,000.

A total of 1,617,989 of the electorate in actuality voted to LEAVE the UK. What percentage of the electorate did that represent?

2,001,926 - and the remainder - positively DID NOT vote to leave the UK? What percentage of the electorate does that represent?

The SNP & others have been crying into their porridge ever since, will use any excuse to "justify" yet another referendum, and will continue to do so when they lose it!
