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.
Enough l and all my church friends ar well aware of all that. Nativity scenes simply condense it all into one scene.

Enough may l ask how what the Christian churches teach about the Birth of Jesus differs to Matthew ch 2 ?
I am a member of a Christian church and we take all of the Gospels seriously.

So in other words if you actually read the Bible you will come to a different conclusion.

on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.
they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.
they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!
A hole's appeared in the M1 . Police are looking into it .

i’ve been visiting this site for quite a long time, although i rarely posted.
i would like to thank simon and all the participants, for the valuable information and support that is available here, for anyone searching about the jw organization.. just a brief introduction of myself: i live in europe (english is not my native language, so please bear with any mistakes i make).
i was born in a jw family and i’m still in the organization, but i’ve been “on the fence” about leaving the organization for quite a long time.
Hi New Light, your English is excellent.
I've never been a JW but have learned a lot from this site . I started researching the WT after having had some doorstep conversations during which l felt that much of what was preached was dodgy .
Do some independent research, not just read JW approved stuff . The fact that they say that the Bible can only be understood through their teachings is in itself suspicious.
