    At first I thought it was but I squinted and it said something about Yeshua, JWs call him Jesus so I doubt it but it sure sounds like something they would do!

    More likely one of those "new militant athiests" we have heard about in the WT.

    Herbert W. Armonstrong views on Christmas

    Even the lighting of fires and candles as a Christmas ceremony is merely a continuation of the pagan custom, encouraging the waning sun-god as he reached the lowest place in the southern skies!

    Since when have JW'S used the term 'pagan-sun god'?

    You must stop looking under the bed.

    There are no JW's under it.

    And just like the JW's, they got laughed off lol.

    How do they know that some of their neighbors AREN'T Pagan and that lights, wreaths, Yule Logs, Mistletoe, etc aren't a part of their celebration? They could have just inadvertently offended a bunch of Pagans by trying to make it look as if Paganism is a BAD thing. Considering it's been around LONGER than Christmas, what's the problem?? You don't see Pagans canvassing neighborhoods and telling Christians to take down their lights and decorations because they're desecrating the Winter Solstice by turning it into a Christian thing, do you? Then shut the hell up lol.

    On Wednesday night, residents of Vintage Drive found a letter attached to their mailboxes suggesting that anyone with Christmas lights or decorations should re-think their beliefs, becauseChristmas displays honor the "Pagan Sun-God" and do not pertain to the birth of Jesus, according to ABC News affiliate WZZM.
    I think this is what he is referring to. JDW
