Good idea!
But where in the bible did Christ say to celebrate his birthday?

It is being done, as the eastern wise men celebrated his birth with their gifts. It calls for celebration with or without being told.

i dated a witness dey may not throw parties bt believe me dey do mark der birthdays...i experienced many although coded...its hypocritical

The fact that u dated one means, he is half baked or simply put, a witness by name only

And some people will not go in depth research just as they've borrowed dem small sense. The fact that a candy is found in the gutter doesn't make it edible and healthy to consume . Make research, read and try to apply common sense. You don't live a life because u were bred in a trend, it could be unhealthy to one's relationship with his maker.

If most of you jehovah witnesses knw the circumtances sorrounding ur sects formation u wont spew dis trash online....we all av our differences the most important thing is we celebrating the birth of christ..whether january febrauary it doesnt matter..if you no wan ceelebrate allow pple chop thier chicken in peace go soak garri if it too pain u..

It is True that johovas witnes do not celebrate christmas and it is A Big TRUE that i dont care of their reasons, ur architect of ur own destiny,
Am eating better chicken,salad,drinks,white rice and stew now.
It is only on christmas that someone gives me these for free. Christmas thank you, i wish everyday is like this.

Ok nah but this one we are celebrating it so may be we talk about that later but for today Christmas is on live.

Instead why dont u follow his instruction? What about the last super he commanded?. Even date is unknown, and as a fact, he wasn't born in December.

Not a xtian but I love JW and 7 days Adventist, unlike other daddy G.Os

princetom1:


Just as op pointed out, u could have shown prove from the bible too if op was wrong. U forgot where op said, rather don follow the billions walking blindly, he will rather walk alone on d right path...

Just like I told someone last night, you do not believe in celebrating the birth of a man who died for redemption of sins he didn't commit, Oga I do. I am celebrating his birth. I wasn't there when he was born and neither do I argue he was born December 25th but if the world is celebrating his birth as a day to show love and I choose to join them cause I believe in Him, why not respect my choice as I respect yours?

Yunggyo:
Everybody and him believe

The truth sets free, not just to believe anything. The devil is something happy to see people walking same road with him

Christmas is not for everybody ...tho those guys are always stingy so Xmas will be an excuse for them

I have never met rich people complaining about stinginess.Only poor and hungry folk

When xmas is a controversial matter among the christians. You will see some ignorant muslims celebrating it as if it is in islam. From research xmas is of peganism.

Candycrusher:



Why would they accept an invitation to where ignorance is taught instead of the real teachings of the bible. What will they learn in churches if not how to cast and bind their enemies instead of loving every one as themselves. What will they learn than useless prophesies and predictions from your bet9ja pastors?

and they expect others to accept theirs abi? That's why we are Nigerians sha! Our judging mentality is out of this world! I spent a year with Muslim friends and we never got any issues cause we respected each others religious views and they were very tolerant! I call it double standards! You no wan read person tract, tract, then no give others your own!

I get it, u said *the world*. From fact of life, the bible and all rule, people like to belong irrespective of what is true. The bible said, when u know the truth, it will set u free. It even went further, that the road that leads to destruction is wide and countless are walking in it, but the road to life is narrow and few are walking in it. Lastly, Our action count alot

Who the hell cares what they think.....since they don't believe christ was the son...of God...their believe is nonsense.

careytommy7:

She rather and u knew it

Candycrusher:




You will rather remain ignorant just to keep eating rice and chicken on the 25th than research if truly the origin of xmas is associated with the pagan god. Many of u are follow follow zombies. If your daddy G.O's approve the celebration of something, its ok even if it's contrary to biblical teachings.


How many of u are even taught the deep truths in the bible? Instead you spend the whole day casting and binding and preaching prosperity and tithing

You have a big problem! No be me go cure am! The earlier you change this foolish mentality the better for you! I call it foolish since you can conclude that my interest is in eating rice and chicken that I cannot eat any other day! God help your likes

Wat basis do u call odas sinners? To answer ur question i left her cos ur elders in ur congregation wont let us be...to me jw is a christian cult or to be polite 'sect'

confused christians

rickyrex:
Child birth brings happiness to every family...even the non delivers still share in the birth of christ.. The truth is that jahova witness has no tangible reason to justify why they don't celebrate xmas.. But they do wedding and merry over it. If we can mark his death we should also mark his birth

Then you you can order Christ to alter what he really demands from his followers. Christianity is not about ones wish, it is purely about Gods wish through Jesus Christ. You either ***Shape In Or Ship Out*** Live for the Truth to stop being deceived and abused by your so called pastors in your churches.

The main season why JEHOVAH WITNESS are not celebrating christmas is that they are not CHRISTIANS ....GOOGLE IT. They can't pratice what they don't believe. They are of their own RELIGION.

Draei:

If this was the way you were taught
about the Bible then i cease to be a Christian.
You can't force your baseless opinion on others.

you no fear fear? The way some people reason ehn! Na this kind people dey really discourage person from christianity

Am not ashamed to be called one of Jehovah Witnesses!

gagewonda:
Did God instruct us not to call other Christians sinners? Did God instruct us never to marry from non Jw christians? I ask d Jw's in ď house dis questions....finally i wanna add dat der r numerous tins we celebrate or mark in dis world dat are not in the bible e.g our individual birthdays, marriage anniversary to mention a few... bt we celebrate dem anyway...december 25th may coincide with a pagan festivity date bt the Christmas i celebrate is in the heart...christmas means wateva u want it to mean to u in ur heart....aint nothing bad in setting aside a date to commemorate the birth of d saviour of the world......my 2kobo

Bless you! I admire how you reason

Candycrusher:
The best form of Christianity is practiced by Jehovah's witnesses


No extortion in the name of tithes and offerings

No daddy G.O's elevated to a mini-god status

They frown at worldly aquisitions contrary to biblical teachings and they don't preach nor encourage materialism


Yet ignorants peeps will call them by bible twisters

So they don't extort when Dey come claiming to share d word of God instead dey resort to selling handbooks.

No prayers, nothing. Is praying also idolatry?
Ask any Jehovah Witness member dat come near you to pray first b4 they start singing "drop anything u have to get the handbook" U will see drama.

Common misconceptions
Myth: The reason why Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas is that they do not believe in Jesus.

Fact: We are Christians. We believe that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ.—Acts 4:12.

Myth: You divide families by teaching members not to celebrate Christmas.

Fact: We care deeply about families, and we use the Bible to help build stronger families.

Myth: You miss out on the “Christmas spirit” of generosity, peace on earth, and goodwill toward men.

Fact: We strive to be generous and peaceable every day. (Proverbs 11:25; Romans 12:18) For example, the way we conduct our meetings and preach is in harmony with Jesus’ instruction: “You received free, give free.” (Matthew 10: In addition, we direct attention to God’s Kingdom as the true hope for peace on earth.—Matthew 10:7.

Why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses celebrate Christmas?
Jesus commanded that we commemorate his death, not his birth.—Luke 22:19, 20.
Jesus’ apostles and early disciples did not celebrate Christmas. The New Catholic Encyclopedia says that “the Nativity feast was instituted no earlier than 243 [C.E.],” more than a century after the last of the apostles died.
There is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25; his birth date is not recorded in the Bible.
We believe that Christmas is not approved by God because it is rooted in pagan customs and rites.—2 Corinthians 6:17.
Why make Christmas an issue?
Many still celebrate Christmas despite knowing about its pagan roots and lack of support from the Bible. Such persons could ask: Why should Christians take such an unpopular stance? Why make it an issue?

The Bible encourages us to think for ourselves, to use our “power of reason.” (Romans 12:1, 2) It teaches us to value the truth. (John 4:23, 24) So while we are interested in how others view us, we adhere to Bible principles even if it means that we become unpopular.

Although we choose not to celebrate Christmas ourselves, we respect each person’s right to decide for himself in this matter. We do not interfere in the Christmas celebrations of others.

I stand with Jehovah witness. But I go chop rice and chicken If seen.

Merry Christmas to u...

U see my brother, u can pretend to be holy, but that moment u get caught, u will disfelowship, elders dont have eyes everywhere and dont police u around. If anyone is caught to commint any offence, u will be disfellowship with immediately effect, so u don't infect others. U find it hard to accept some things, right? But am sure u had been thoroughly convinced with the bible truth, u hadn't been thought to copy a sister or brother or elder but Christ instead. One thing i can also tell u as a fact is, wherever u see an unfaithful or immoral sister or brother, he/she will walk with like mind to cover his or her tracks
