I know Christmas is "wrong", but for god's sakes, what's so "wrong" about New Near's day?
by african GB Member inthis time of the year is the most stressful for jw's(especially progressive jws) as they have to explain to non-jws why they don't celebrate christmas and new year's days.. i can understand the religious implications of christmas day, but what about new years?
what is so wrong about looking forward to new beginings?
was new year celebration also started by "christendom/ babylon the great"?

Wouldn't the death of three suffice?
by AK - Jeff inwhy would a so-called 'loving' god put mankind through millenia of time, untold suffering, death to billions of mankind, all over the sin of a naked lady eating an apple without permission?.
how could his need to 'fulfill justice' or whatever theological argument is presented to justify such time to pass before correction - ever equal the pain it has forced mankind to endure?.
why did he not just kill one man, one woman, and one snake-imitating fallen angel - wipe the slate - and start fresh?

The tone and voice of the WTBTS publications/writings
by HappyGuy ini hope this doesn't sound too strange.
the first wtbts book that i read was the studies in the scriptures.
my grandfather gave my favorite cousin the entire set when we were both around 12. we read these books cover to cover like they were comic books.
