This morning I happened to be browsing thru the "Questions and Answers" section of THE WATCHMAN web site
http://www.e-watchman.com/index.html
when I decided to follow a link to a certain page on the WTSs web site. It took me to an article entitled "CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS--Are They Christian?"
As a result of having quickly scanned the article I was made to feel partly glad and partly sad. I was glad over the part that I could still agree with and can therefore still heartily support. But I was saddened over the part that I absolutely know to be in error and for that reason am no longer able to recommend to others.
TRUE, GLAD PART:
Had God wanted to guide [the Magi] to the young child, they would have been led to the exact place without needing to go first to Jerusalem and to Herod's palace.

ERRONEOUS, SAD PART:
[Jesus] is the ruling King of God's Kingdom.

Yes, its true that the Magi were initially being directed by Satan and that the Star of Bethlehem was his trick method for accomplishing it.
But, in spite of how much I would hope otherwise, its NOT true that Jesus is presently a "ruling King" since 1914.
