  Birthday celebrations and customs - Are they for Christians?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  i sent my birthday document (http://thebentinel.com/jw-birthdays.html) to a poster here that is at the very least a jw-sympathizer, if not a full-blown jw.

  the response i got back indicated that my reasoning on it was seriously flawed and essentially any idiot with a passing knowledge of scripture and history can tell that birthdays are not something christians should celebrate.. of course, if you're not a bible-believer or a god-believer, you couldn't care less about pagan origins and all that.

  but let's keep this conversation on the 'appropriate for christians' vein.

  on a co-equal trinity and pagan holidays

  it's easy to see straws or beams or splinters in other people's eyes, and yet fail to notice the trunks and logs and things in our own eyes.

  but anyway, about those emails.

  there are points that are never really truly honestly addressed.

  is there any one scripture (or more) that really suprised you once you took the wt glasses off and just read the bible as is, without all the extra literature?

  JW's: Polytheists?

  by jstalin in

  i was thinking today about the issue of jesus' deity (or lack thereof), according to the wts.

  they say that jehovah is god, jesus is not the same as jehovah, but that jesus is a god.

  doesn't that make jws polytheists?

  in a post by syn that lady lee has brought up again, there is this statement by syn.

  i could underline my watchtower in 10 minutes, tops, and be sure that all the answers were right.

  many esteemed researchers have shown that repetitive imprinting of ideas is a primary cult tactic, and i tend to agree with them.
