since jws are so obsessed to disclose the pagan origin of almost everything that is giving joy, uniting family, healthy etc, i suggest we can list out all the other things that are pagan related or somehow somewhere practiced by pagans here.
the purpose?
let see how far we can go as pagan-free..

a team have been testing the mitochondrial dna, maternal side, of three native tribes from the bristish columbia region against bodies from 6,000-2,500 years ago and have found matches to living persons from the nisga, tsimshian, and haida tribes.
the skeletons came from dodge island.
one of the 6000 year old skeletons matched dna from a 10,000 year old skeleton from the same region.

Studying migrations and origins certainly is interesting.
Indigenous - Originating or occurring naturally in a particular place.
For natives to be truly indigenous, they would have had to have popped out of the north american ground, or evolved as a spcies adapted to the conditions, there. That didn't happen, so they were immigrants, originally.

i mentioned i was cleaning the forum archive when i bumped this thread by oompa:.
damm i miss jwd...this place will always be jwd to me.... rather than turn that into a discussion of the archive, i'll answer slimboyfat's concern here.. the things i'm clearing up are either:.

the jesus believers were meeting in people's homes.
members of that community would take turns using private homes to gather.
thus, they went house to house.. these footstep tracers of jesus (they called themselves akolouthontes "followers" or some called themselves mathetai or "learners.
'Getting back to the topic title: What exactly was going on after Jesus was put to death...?'

the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".
my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.
don't you just love this international brotherhood.
Its sad to lose friends. It doesn't mean that they are bad. It could mean that they are weak and let others do their thinking for them, let them chose their friends for them. They aren't really a loss for you. Losing them is one of those things you don't need to fight. Let it happen.

the wt says apostates are satans puppets etc etc.
we are controlled by satan.. there is a faq on the website that asks can the devil control humans?
and answers with a resounding yes.
Even hypothetically, i can't figure this one. But then, as an apostate w a satanic name, i must be totally controlled by satan. No wonder i can't explain it;)

Moses could be said to have started judaism. He wasn't a king. Abraham is considered the main patriarch. He didn't write anything, nor was he a king. He did not found any cities. He had 2 sons.
