Child birth brings happiness to every family...even the non delivers still share in the birth of christ.. The truth is that jahova witness has no tangible reason to justify why they don't celebrate xmas.. But they do wedding and merry over it. If we can mark his death we should also mark his birth |

emsheddy: You will rather remain ignorant just to keep eating rice and chicken on the 25th than research if truly the origin of xmas is associated with the pagan god. Many of u are follow follow zombies. If your daddy G.O's approve the celebration of something, its ok even if it's contrary to biblical teachings. How many of u are even taught the deep truths in the bible? Instead you spend the whole day casting and binding and preaching prosperity and tithing 9 Likes 2 Shares |

emsheddy: Why would they accept an invitation to where ignorance is taught instead of the real teachings of the bible. What will they learn in churches if not how to cast and bind their enemies instead of loving every one as themselves. What will they learn than useless prophesies and predictions from your bet9ja pastors? 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Did God instruct us to call other Christians sinners? Did God instruct us never to marry from non Jw christians? I ask d Jw's in ď house dis questions....finally i wanna add dat der r numerous tins we celebrate or mark in dis world dat are not in the bible e.g our individual birthdays, marriage anniversary to mention a few... bt we celebrate dem anyway...december 25th may coincide with a pagan festivity date bt the Christmas i celebrate is in the heart...christmas means wateva u want it to mean to u in ur heart....aint nothing bad in setting aside a date to commemorate the birth of d saviour of the world......my 2kobo 7 Likes |

Ds people sef. They don't celebrate xmas because its origin is rooted in paganism y then do they engage in olympics and other indoor/outdoor sporting activities because its origin is rooted in paganism too. The olympic games originated from ancient greece and they perform it in the honor of their god zeus. So they should stop watching and engaging in anything olympics cos of its origin. 1 Like |

And some people will not go in depth research just as they've borrowed dem small sense. The fact that a candy is found in the gutter doesn't make it edible and healthy to consume . Make research, read and try to apply common sense. You don't live a life because u were bred in a trend, it could be unhealthy to one's relationship with his maker. 4 Likes |
