What things are pagan in origin?
by roybatty ini read someone's commment about the pagan origins of pretzels, which i didn't know.
i'd like to share with my kids other items or customs that are also pagan in origin, like wedding rings and the wedding cake.
i want them to see that christmas isn't the only tradition with roots in pagan religion that have changed meaning over the years.. any others out there?

Concept of There Being A God
by Undecided inis it possible for the human mind to really understand what god is?.
think about all those trillions of centries that god was alone, with no need for a language, as there were no objects to name, no one to converse with, nothing to do.
there were no subjects to hate and kill, no one to love and bless, no satan opposer to battle, sort of like being dead.

12/15/2001 WT; Christmas ok if married to non-JW?
by Alleymom ini was wondering if someone has the full text of the article on p.28 of the 12/15/2001 wt, in the questions from readers?.
i understand that there is an article which appears, to some, to indicate a softening of attitude regarding christmas.
i'm told that it is now ok for a jw wife married to a non-jw husband to participate in some family christmas activities as long as she doesn't regard this as an act of worship.. i would really like to have a copy of the exact wording.. many thanks!.

IS THE WATCHTOWER A FALSE PROPHET?
by You Know inwhen jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.
it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.
one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.
