When was Jesus born , when was Santa born , their both fictional characters so what / why does it matter they both serve a purpose for the day whether you agree with that purpose or not.

When was Jesus born: Another interesting date.
by fulltimestudent inquote: "jonathan cahn on the jim bakker show nov.12th, 2012. cahn uses detective work to figure out that jesus was born on the first day of the jewish new year, known as nissan 1, in 6 b.c.
compelling correlation of jewish feast days and their foreshadowing of the life and work of jesus.".

Christmas arrogance
by stillin inone of the witness rebuttals that is used to belittle the christmas holiday is the one where they say that people reduce jesus christ to being just a baby in a manger, whereas the witnesses recognize him as a mighty king, a much more accurate and current way to view jesus.
a baby in a manger is a sweet sight on any day, it's true, but more is going on than meets the eye in the case of jesus.
this particular baby is the first baby to have been born without an earthly father, the immaculate conception.

Mainstream Christendom recognizes Jesus as the only one Christians are told to bear witness about and that he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords .
And that the name of Jesus is above every other name and that every knee should bend in heaven on earth and those under the ground and OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD to the glory of God the father .
Scriptures that admonish Christians to witness about Jesus ? in the New Testament ? over twenty .
Scriptures that admonish Christians to witness about Jehovah in the New Testament ? ZERO .

At least the Catholics despite their problems have spent millions of Dollars on their charitable organizations which are many with the contributions they receive helping all people despite their personal beliefs.
The Jehovah`s Witnesses should be exposed as liars for the claim they are a charitable organization as they only benefit the GB members and their associates with all of the money and assets they rake in.

Memories from the Edge
by neat blue dog inwhen waking up it often isn't an instant switch, there's a period of time when your conflicted feelings are heightened and most uncomfortable.
can anyone remember specific instances in the time before you fully woke up that made you uncomfortable or guilty, despite you still being a 'believer'?.
i can think of two right now, both about a year or two before i woke up:.

It was such a gradual thing with me over a number of years that I would put at the back of my mind until you just can`t ignore those niggling things anymore.
And without going into any detail how I managed to manipulate a body of Elders in a judicial case against a brother that they were "trying" {and who I thought they would be justly right in DF him} they didn`t do so and only reproved him ,simply because I threatened to name them personally as a body of Elders to both the branch in Australia and also to name them personally to the Branch/ HQ, in New York.
They didn`t want to handle the case ,complicated as it was but he was now in their territory and had been for about 2 years .
They tried to pressure me to leave it in Jehovah`s hands and I wouldnt have a bar of it ,I said you handle it or I go to the both Branches lodging a complaint about you .
And to my surprise they did not DF him but only reproved him.
That`s when the penny dropped for certain that their is no God directing this organization.

Don't give them 2019
by snare&racket ini am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.
it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.
those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.

Isnt this report really a report of a failing religious organization ? that has lost its way ?
Reduced congregations worldwide.
Increases in those claiming to be of the Anointed Class ? When they are supposed to be decreasing every year.
Most baptisms can be attributed to children of JW`s. and not those responding to D2D witnessing
Stagnant growth in most western affluent Nations .
Most growth in poorer third world countries
Reduced numbers of Branches around the world.
Significantly reduced printed materials for the brothers and sisters.
And their forever asking /begging for more money in donations ,pledges ,wills . { ice cream money from kids } Ok that last one was a joke .
Their has to be more to the list I gave above ?

He came back and he will engage again after the new year ,good for him.
I will try and comment after the New Year on this website to keep active. It is good to discuss the scriptures, and I for one am not shy in doing so, therefore my reason to apologise publically.
