  Counting their chickens before they're hatched, I see! It's only about ruling the roost and reinforcing the pecking order. They really need to get their ducks in a row before this becomes an albatross around their necks.

  " the universe made itself " but---

  watching the fertilization of an ovum and subsequent cell division it appears that the new being is making itself.

  parents were involved, unskilled labor, time, energy.

  no thing has ever been observed to make itself, to my knowledge.

  If God created the universe, God must be at least as complex as the universe itself. Did this supremely complex and intelligent God come from nothing?

  Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses Celebrate Thanksgiving?

  hi guys,.

  being a brit living abroad, i never really understood the whole thanksgiving business.. i think growing up as a jw didn't help either.

  anyway, i've rid myself of those jw shackles and have decided to take an interest into the goings on over the pond, especially as my favourite place on earth is bar harbor.

  Here's the story according to: Awake! November 8, 1969, p. 6:
  
  "But is it really necessary for them to have a national holiday officially proclaimed by the president in order to express thanksgiving to God? If they feel that they have received blessings and bounties from him, why thank him only one day out of the year?" (In other words, if you celebrate Thanksgiving, that must mean you don't seriously give thanks or count your blessings on any other day.)
  
  p. 7:
  
  "Does it seem reasonable for a person who gives the Almighty God undefiled worship as instructed in his written Word to join unbelievers in observing a religious holiday? There are not only atheists but many who worship man-made gods of wood and stone who celebrate Thanksgiving Day. How could a true Christian have religious fellowship with such persons and still expect to be acceptable in the eyes of the true God?" (In other words, because some atheists and people who worship gods who are not THE God happen to celebrate Thanksgiving, you'll become "unevenly yoked" with them just by inviting all your relatives to a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.)

  It's all very silly.
