  The Pagan Origins of the Memorial Observed by Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  “we don’t celebrate holidays because god doesn’t approve of any celebration that is rooted in pagan customs and manmade traditions.” (see here for a similar jw response.).

  if you were once an ex-jw like me, you have probably said something like this out in field service to someone who asked the question: why don’t you people celebrate holidays?

  as the witnesses' official website states in an faq about not celebrating easter:.

  11. How can we show our support for the Messianic King? (From book study last night)

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.

  11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!

  reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘how do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?

  Re "Headquarters"

  Just testing my memory here,

  John 4:21-24 says?

  And who is the head of the congregation presumably?

  And Christ is where?

  So where is headquarters?

  Well, in New York State of course!

  Look for a mountain (John 4)

  Lol

  What the "Worldly" media has to say about the proposed Russian ban of JWs

  by NikL in

  interesting to read the reports from around the world.

  i doubt many jws have read any of them.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-government-jehovahs-witnesses-extremist-group-lawsuit-supreme-court-a7634671.html.

  russian authorities threatened to close jehovah’s witnesses administrative centre last march, when they issued a formal warning to the congregation that the “religious association will be subject to liquidation” if it failed to eliminate within two months the violations identified by the government as “extremist”.

  Does anyone at headquarters think that millions of letters are going to

  move the Russian political/judicial machine in their favour? I think not,

  I see this campaign as a way to solidify themselves in an immediate

  "urgent" cause and remind everyone that they are fufilling prophesy by

  being persecuted,

  The question as I see it is: Are they really being persecuted "for

  righteousness sake" or ironically, for being the persecuters of others,
