  the image below depicts the "manger scene".

  if you look close, and use a little imagination, you can make out the "three wise men" there on the left, and joseph and mary on the right.

  of course the brightest, pulsating "star" above them all is the "star of bethlehem".

  Schizm.............hmmm, well, the shepherds were all sitting out in their fields............and being Jewish? they would accept angels as messengers...........the three wise men/Magi from Persia had probably known of Jesus' impending birth for some time. If you checked the website, the star not only appeared literally, but, since these men were astronomers and astrologers, then they also would have been doing a chart of the star placements at that point and noticed the configuration of the Star of David that came up!

  for those who still believe in jesus and his purpose and in a god who is creator.

  do you feel it is appropriate to hang in place as such when the scriptures teaches us "not to cast pearls before swine?

  " please tell me your feelings on this subject as i feel that i should not be here but for some reason keep returning....do we believers feel that we can make some good here and is that why we continue to come here?

  JamesThomas,

  I have always LOVED this quote from the moment I heard it.........

  Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who have already been there."

  AAF,

  ((((((Dear AGuest)))))

  Why don't you just come out from under your wooly sheep's coat and go straight for her throat without the disgusting display above.........it sickens my soul that you are so blinded.............yeah........there we go.........pluck the rafter from your own blinded eye before you dare try to suggest someone remove their splinter! And don't you dare even give me any of that false garbage you call christianity........I don't want it.........you remind me too much of what I lived in for twenty years as a JDub.

  I'm asking any moderator if she sends me any message to please delete it! I don't even want to have to see it on this board!

  Gentlesoul, I think you keep coming because you feel that there is a good energy here in this group..........and alot of loving kindness and caring.......yeah, sometimes some of us can get touchy when we feel like someone is trying to play a "shame game" on us........it's what we were subjected to for so many years by the WTS, and yes, by Christianity in some cases. It can be a real sore spot at times..........you can take the person out of the cult, but it takes a looonnnngggg time to take the cult out of the person................

  You should be able to see how non-believers of the Christian faith might see that as arrogant and insulting.

  AMEN, AMAC!!!

  My mom says I was an "old soul" when I was little.........I was like a little old lady......mom has had some cool experiences in her life. I personally think she's been 'round the wheel many times......she's had some awesome OOB's that she's shared with me........all while being a JDub. What a waste!

  Yeah, I would! Hopefully you are asking what the "star" might have been....did I understand the question? Remember these were most likely Zoroastrian Magi, who were astrologers and astronomers. So, they were some of the most well versed in reading/watching the stars. Many times, in different things I've read, the appearance of new stars or comets were thought to presage a new King or the death of one. For more explanations rather than me trying to explain it, check out this link...........bottom line, the star was a "literal" and "figurative" star with huge implications for these "wise men".
