Jonathan, I have read your comments at that site and in my opinion, you are trying to twist what is said and trying to provoke.

But that's my opinion.

JW's aren't trying to prevent the public from celebrating holidays. You know that they share their beliefs in the PUBLIC ministry but they don't get engaged in preventing non-JWs from having holidays.

We do not look to stop people from practicing their holiday's whether public or private, we just want people to respect our conscience in abstaining.

Is Jehova's Trumpet for real?

by StarTrekAngel in

because regardless of having seen a lot of bad things, if true, some of the things i read there have reached new thresholds of bs.

who are these people?

i posted some comments there because i was sincerely confused as to the nature of their article.. http://jehovahstrumpet.com/brother-survives-nazi-persecution-disfellowshiped-for-smoking/.

Jehovah's Trumpet is satire, it is not a pro JW site.

Display of National Flags in Kingdom Halls in Chile: WTS' Response

by BluesBrother in

remember this and other threads a few months back, on the subject that some kingdom halls in chile acquiesced to govt rules that every building should display the national flag on the day of celebration?.

many of us here and around the net, calling on our dub experiences cried "never would that happen!

1917 Watch Tower is before Jesus chose the representatives of the organization as his Faithful and Discreet Slave so it doesn't count, they were still a part of Christendom at the time.

(Forget it, I actually just read the article and I see the Bible Students pre Faithful and Discreet Slave status apparently had it right.)

Exactly Splash. Doesn't this open the door to explaining away anything?

Birthdays, Christmas decorations ... most people don't view any of the related symbols for their pagan origin. The door is open to spin, unfortunately, only headquarters will be allowed to use it.

Barrold, I had the exact same thought after reading that letter.

... and in the video they made recreating the announcement of the JW name at a convention, why did they not include the flags as in the actual account?
