princetom1: I always SMH whenever I hear JWs talk about being in the "truth".. .....the truth as JWs knew 50years ago is not same truth they teach today, and the so called truth they teach now will definitely change tomorrow. Because they hide behind the "Light gets brighter" to teach just about anything some self appointed faithful slaves in America chose to dish out. 1 Like |

its just as statement of fact.. all one need do is make a research and come up with ya own conclusions... no specific date was recorded for Christ's birth. its eben scriptural that we're should celebrate his death rather thasn birth.. 'pls do this in remembrance of me' 1 Like |

I don't know who chose Dec 25th as Christ birthday. What I hate about this period is the way crime increases and how marketers exploit people for gains. Christmas was to be a season of love. 1 Like |

Smh Christmas A story about a teenage pregnancy somewhere in the Middle East. Supposedly non-consensually impregnated by a god (who of course did not marry her) and forced to give birth in a stable/cave due to the lack of any social care Jesus was literally a bastard Since the earliest days of Christianity, the customs that Christians use to celebrate Christmas (and Easter) have been altered to attract non-Christians to the religion. Many pagan rituals were incorporated into Christmas festivities as a way to appease ancient converts who were reluctant to discard their old traditions Plus jesus wasn't even born on December Christians are just setting a day aside to celebrate a dead Jew god |

driy65:'...go drink garri' , ok ur'e so ignorant that you have chosen to reveal the real reason why you can't drop a certain lifestlye or practice even if you know it's bad and that's #jolly. You know what Paul said concerning the signs of the end right at 2 Tim 3:1-5, I'll qoute just the part that concerns the context ; 'for men will be lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God...' . So you can't forfeit the pleasure christmas comes with just to please JAH Enjoy, I respect everyone's view. 2 Likes |

A sect that all its discussions/meetings are centred around critisizing preachers in churches.... Does not tolerate other religious views but want their views to be accommodated by others...... A sect with so many commas.... but the churches just do not bother themselves about them....eg ammageddon prophesy of the 70s by witness that turned out to be a sham and somebody is calling pastors/preachers a in churches a bet9ja..... who gave you the right to be a judge? 2 Likes |

driy65: The most important distinction between JW's and Christianity is not Christmas. It is the Trinity. They believe that Jesus was created by God and is lesser than God. As such they do not believe in salvation by faith in Christ's death alone but rather by obedience to Jehovah ( or rather the governing council of JW). They do not believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus - rather they believe he was raised spiritually. The Christian scriptures say Christ was raised bodily hence his asking doubting Thomas to touch his side and also his eating with the disciples. Bodily resurrection is a key belief in mainline Christianity. 1 Cor 15:17 JW are welcomed to teach whatever they want and I defend their right to believe whatever they want but to say Christmas is the distinction between them and mainline Christianity is at best ignorance and at worst, dishonest. For those who want to come at my statements online. Let's not hide behind the Internet. Let's schedule a physical meeting that we will record and put on NL and social media. If you are up for this as a JW, dm and let's set it up to discuss JW and Christian belief. JW is different from the "Followers of the Way" or those called Christians at Antioch. Let's them not deceive people and throw up smokescreens about Christmas. 1 Like |
