I don't think anyone would disagree with you, or course Christmas originates in paganism, so do the days of the week, the months of the year and a host of other iconic elements of our society.
But then no one else but the JWs makes a doctrine out of it, no one else denies themselves the joy of giving and receiving gifts, no one else denies their chil ...[text shortened]... and Christmas presents. The solution is freedom in Christ and proper education of the children.
A little less emphasis on what conventional traditions are pagan-sourced and a little more emphasis on the risen Christ as Savior, please.

Originally posted by galveston75The greatest of untruths are told by false prophets, among which the Watchtower organisation ranks the highest. They have consistently told lies in the form of false prophesies and false doctrines to their followers for over 100 years. They have much to answer for.
