Adam and Eve were pagan?
@Sea Breeze ...
It can be argued that Eve was pagan since she had that snake tattoo on her lower back.
there have been a number of threads touching on this before, leolaia for one, back in the day when we had many an erudite poster, showed the pagan origins of many things, including the passover , and by extension, the jw " memorial".. what prompted my thought on this was a conversation i had the other day with a young lady, never a jw, who said the jw stance on birthday celebrations, was groundless and cruel.. i thought later that jw's do a " pick and mix " as usual, as they do with so many other things, on what they condemn as "pagan" and what they accept and practice.. the institution of marriage itself is pagan, marriages were performed long before the bible was written, and long before the nation of israel was formed.
yet jw's perform marriages, use the veil, and the ring, all pagan.
the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, all pagan.. i guess you guys can think of many more things ?

i know we are living in the "last days" of this system of things, but it is getting creepy around the house..
@MrMeanMustard ...
Yea, the guy creeps me out. Especially with that big cross hanging down from his neck.
Get naked, hug a pillow ... yea.
I need to pray for awhile.
Folks, can we just all get along and sing Kumbaya ?
(or Stairway to Heaven, Two Tickets to Paradise, Where the Streets Have No Name, All Along the Watchtower or some other harmonious melody) ?

system of things comes to mind.
what does that mean to anyone not a jw?.
how long have you been in the truth?

You are being "shy and coy" about JW terminology. You know how it works.
We have so many combinations, interpretations, permutations and "explanations" of the words that it would be sufficient content for a book.
Start with the word "slave." We JW's have the slave at the top of the food chain. Explain that to others.
Then we write chapter 2.
It has gone from ridiculous to ludicrous...... Not to mention just plain stupid.
@tiki ...
It really has. Look at the coins and bills we use and some were slave owners, bigots or other "not good" people.
The only thing I feel comfortable using now is the $3 Trump bill and the 30 cent My Pillow Guy coin.
Careful there, buddy. You are but a baby step away from saying "All Lives Matter" .... Don't mock BLM.

You may be right. I guess anything satirical these days is offensive to some.
Just to be safe, I am throwing away all of my Jefferson nickels that are in the coin jar.
Just trying to be a source of encouragement.
