Reniaa, your claim that Col and Romans 14 refers only to Jewish festivals is contextually weighed against. However, even IF it were true...why has your pagan god known as the governing body taken away from JWs the freedom you claim Paul gave first century Christians?

Some christmas spirit, WT style!
by bohm inwell, i know its a bit self-serving since i allready posted this in jwfacts thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/199939/1/watchtower-images-required, but i think its quite funny and things have been kind of serious around here for the past couple of weeks.. it seem to me that when jahs chanel have desided (im kidding, they has been told) the one and true god really hate christmas and will kill you in nasty ways if you go ahead and celebrate it, it provide a pretty compelling case for not celebrating christmas.
but the governing body can make an even stronger case than that: not only will jesus cry and clice you up if you celebrate christmas, you will also have a really bad time.
wow!.

You need to research claims like this,
The Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah, is a Jewish holiday. It is also known as the Festival of Lights.
Hanukkah is celebrated during the Hebrew month of Kislev (November or December). It begins on day 25 of Kislev and lasts for 8 days.
After regaining the Temple, it was cleansed by the Maccabees, cleared of all Greek idolatry, and readied for rededicated. The rededication of the Temple to God took place in the year 165 BC, on the 25th day of the Hebrew month called Kislev.
It is a later addition to Jewish celebration but it is a purely Jewish celebration.
My reply: Go read Ezra and you will see God had no issue with a Jewish celebration called Purim, purely a Jewish celebration.

Reniaa said:
It is a matter of Public historical record that devout Jews didn't celebrate Birthdays and that early Christians didn't celebrate birthdays either. That is why there is no mention of them in the bible other than as reference to pagan celebrations by pagans or those influenced by pagans.
My Reply: It is not a historical fact that Jesus, or early Christians thought they were wrong. The Bible is silent on whether they are right or wrong...Paul detailing individual freedom and their use of their own conscience on these things.
Reniaa said:
It wasn't till the third century under Roman pagan influence that Christians started celebrating birthdays.
My reply: Irrelevant to the issue...Paul made clear that is not an issue
Reniaa said:
Pretending that this is not the case is just running against biblical and historical known facts. If you wish to deny these known facts then you are only deluding yourselves.
My reply: There are no historical or Biblical facts to support the assertions of your pagan god Reniaa.

How come literal Israel was only released from Babylonish captivity after they gave up their idolatrous practices...yet the WT leaders were let out of Babylonish captivity and appointed steward of God's earthly affairs while still practicing the same 'idlatrous practices' that got them sent away?

or said in a simple way for your little mind Reniaa, Jesus not seeing a need does not make something wrong...just as America sees no need to celebrate Boxing Day, but they do not consider it immoral.
