  What could WT do if active Dubs celebrated Hanukkah ?

  happy hanukkah to anybody celebrating !!!.

  if jesus and the apostles and later jewish christians celebrated hanukkah, what grounds could the wt have for objecting if active jw's today did likewise ?

  it would not be a returning to the things of the mosaic law as hanukkah was not part of that, rather it would be a returning to part of first century christian practice.. sd7 or someone could have fun composing the article telling dubs exactly why they cannot celebrate this rather lovely remembrance, as they cannot christmas, in the 21st.

  Wobble,

  The org tries to disqualify Roman 14 about some considering one day above others as applying to holidays by asserting that is is speaking only of the Jewish festivals. This logic would leave them susceptible to a JW conscienciously observing Hanukkah. Although most would not feel this way, since the WT constantly stresses that Jesus gave up the Jews and now JWs are followers of God's new org. I am sure a judicial committee would instead pursue the avenue of causing divisions, brazen coduct, etc.

  Botz, here is my suggestion...get Crisis of Conscience and try reading it. At the first sign you observe of hatred, anger, malice or bias simply put the book down and forget about it...never to read it again. I highly doubt you will see any there. I think the first several chapters would actually be enjoyable to any Witness...since it speaks of his growing up in the org, and years or service, and trials and tribulations related to his service....much like a yearbook.

  i was thinking and i know this is really out there, and i am not becoming paranoid.. i thought about the terrorist , what is told to these people to move them to blow.

  now some may say, no way that can happen with the jw,s.

  talking about us apostate only, not the rest of the world.

  Not exactly accusation dude. Settled cases out of court. It was on MSNBC the day before Thanksgiving 2005. Do some research. Your small mind may learn from it.

  "Squeal about JWs like a bunch of little kids..."

  Yeah, pedophiles finding sanctuary - and collusion, even - within congregations; rapists being allowed to seek prey within the congregations with the implicit agreement that the police shall NOT be notified because public knowledge of such crimes "might" bring "reproach" upon "Jehovah's" "name"; people being threatened with "spiritual death" - disfellowshipment - if they seek proper medical treatments...

  Yeah, those are really childish concerns, aren't they... Not serious issues, at all...

  What an uninformed, arrogant maroon... We have another "maroon" on-board...

  Zid

  Ooooooo, grab on to the virtual pedophiles you create.

  My reply:

  So your alleged wife is now a pedo-defender.
