[Aunty Jane]

Ye shall not mix the holy with the unholy pratices . Far too many have done so
and worse and worse it does get. But as usual the many who do so often have many an excuse for why they do asthey do and why they wont correct .

If we know that a glass of water has a few drops of poison in it, would we still drink it?
What does it mean, ‘not to mix holy with unholy practices’?

What did the Apostle Paul say about that?

2 Cor 6:14-18…
“Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15  Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Beʹli·al? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 16  And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I will reside among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 17  “‘Therefore, get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take you in.’” 18 “‘And I will become a father to you, and you will become sons and daughters to me,’ says Jehovah, the Almighty.”

What part of “separate yourselves” and “quit touching the unclean thing” do we not understand?

If pagan practices were carried over by the gentiles when they became Christians, then they never were “Christians” in the first place. Whether Jew or gentile, nothing of pagan origin had a place in the worship of the true God…..so adopting pagan celebrations and calling them something else, didn‘t “Christianized the paganism….it “paganized“ the Christianity.
If something was “unclean” to God, either spiritually, physically or morally, it was to be rejected outright!

Celebrating those things, which retained all the customs of the original but just changing the name and application loosely in Scripture, and then pretending that this somehow conquered the evil in it, is a grave mistake…..we are told to “conquer the evil with the good”, so how do we conquer the enemy if we instead make friends with him and adopt his practices under another name? The enemy is simply disguised.

Justification is the problem……and no one seems to wonder why Christians couldn’t have their own celebrations….why was there a need to adopt what God hated.…in any manner, shape or form? Has no one ever wondered about that?

By now its high time the church realize , THAT mindset dont work and as error begets error
as leaven brings more leaven , that house IS GOING DOWN .

You do realize that the churches will remain silent about these things because the two biggest celebrations in Christendom are also their biggest money spinners…..no one is going to sacrifice that cash cow….and besides, with a dying church system all over the world, things are ripe for religion to go down altogether. “Babylon the great” will be destroyed at God’s command, because this “harlot” is “in bed” with God’s enemies. (Rev 18:4-5)

What the people celebrate these days is so far removed from what they claim….that most children have no idea that their favorite holiday (holy day) times are even supposed to be religious. Even the secular world celebrates them and enjoys their commercial benefits…no religious connotations are needed to make a profit.…but it helps to cater to all tastes.
No sooner are the supermarket shelves stocked with the trappings of one celebration, than they are restocked with the next one……Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Halloween, New Year's Day…all staged with their own emblems and traditions, signifying their pagan roots.

We might approve of those things, but would God approve of them?

Those early church converts are a good example .
When one is truly converted their heart has been changed .
All those who used to pratice wicked things , came and burned their books and etc in a fire . Today they honor such things .
Its getting bad , real bad in these last and final hours .
Another love sherriff has come to town and has many diverse inclusive deputies at work . Hims the dark one .
People within the church no longer can discern as they follow these love pratices which are of the world , NOT GOD .

I think people are beginning to understand how badly they've been duped, and are seeing who it was that did it...

 

[amigo de christo]

I think people are beginning to understand how badly they've been duped, and are seeing who it was that did it...

Then they would clearly understand that both sides of the political realm ARE THE ONES DECIEVING
us all . And they would not run to those men but rather would preach THE ONE SIMPLE SOLUTION .
And what solution is that , RETURN THOU TO GOD , REPENT , REPENT and TURN TO GOD , TO HIS CHRIST .
I dont care what kinda of solutions these politicains offer up and no matter how good they try and fix things .
NONE OF IT MATTERS IF THIS NATION and THIS WORLD REPENTS NOT .
THERE Is NO WAY GOD IS GONNA BLESS a people , a church , a nation , or a world WHEN THEY CONTINUE to reject HIM
HIS CHRIST , HIS WORDS . SO i sure hope ya understand that real real good . cause it dont seem to matter
WHO sits the throne whether a liberal biden or a trump , THEY BOTH DECIEVING US and the one SOLUTION
necessary for a blessing , WILL NO MAN SPEAK OR POINT TOO . TIME we POINT TO GOD
TIME WE POINT TO HIS CHRIST and HIS WORDS and GO OUT LIKE JONAS AND PREACH US SOME REPENTANCE .

They will say Peace and Safety, and then be surprised to say the least..

 

[amigo de christo]

They will say Peace and Safety, and then be surprised to say the least..

Because if we examine what they are doing to obtain this peace n safety
we would see very clearly
that they have removed the dire need to repent to believe ON JESUS the CHRIST
and rather sell a lie to all religoins that we are serving the same GOD .
THEY believe by mergining the religoins they can and will get WORLD PEACE N SAFETY
But as you said THEN SUDDENLY BE SUPRISED when SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH from on HIGH .
Examine interfiath interreligious dialgoue . AND YOU SEE the LIE of ANTI CHRIST IS ALL OVER IT .
Who by PEACE shall indeed destroy many . ITS all over it . Thus when i say , and say often
that interfaith all inclusive is of anti christ , OH ITS IS OF ANTI CHRIST
and it has come from a seat
of they who can appear as a lamb but speak as a dragon
and from a seat by which the number of its name is very familiar if we read revelation chapter thirteen .
ALL of this cometh of many anti christs and is of anti christ . its a false love , false hope message .

The “peace and security” they promise is on their terms…..by their means, which will prove to be totalitarian control of all we do…..is that what people will sign up for when the mark of the beast is mandated? It always sounds good on the surface, but like all political promises, the implementation will turn out to be very alarming when the terms are enforced. Have we seen the enforcers? All dressed up in their Jack boots and combat gear? Is this what democracy is?

What did we learn from the p a n d e m i c? Scare tactics and fear mongering got people lining up for a vaxx program that changed the world…and left in its wake more dead and permanently injured people than the supposed prevention it was supposed to address. Now we have a world of people carrying in their own bodies, a means to cause their death.
How many people trusted those who promoted the lies told by big pharma, and still do? What will the next pandemic bring in a world where the elite few are dictating to governments what they have to do if they want to stay in power? Money speaks all languages and it’s power corrupts absolutely.

But, just when they think they are winning….God will show them what insignificant insects they really are….their wealth and power carries no weight with the one to whom they will account for their evil schemes….the one they don’t believe is even there observing their plans and waiting for the right time to crush them out of existence.

Soon now we will see the implementation of their scheme for world domination, but God’s people will have separated themselves from any involvement in it. So who are God’s people, Amigo? Who are the ones who already know and are informed in God’s word about what is about to take place?
Did God leave us nowhere to go? Are we just on our own in a sea of trouble? Who has the lifeboat?

Jesus will come and separate the “wheat” from the “weeds”……and it’s not hard to see who the “weeds” are….but who are the “wheat”….those who will be rewarded for standing at a distance to see “the end” of Satan’s world rulership? How do we recognize them? Where would you send people who want to know the true God, rather than the one that Christendom represents, who are up to their necks in their government’s corrupt politics.
Can you tell us? People want those answers, but will they be looking in the right place, or will satan do to them what he did to Christ’s first disciples? (John 15:18-21) Propaganda works.

Propaganda works.

Indeed. It was horrific what the JW Governing Body pushed on their people during covid. They were on the propaganda side calling anyone who disagreed or tried to reveal truth to them- conspiracy theorists. The way that elders were punished for not taking the jabs and pioneers- it was so sad. I have family members who felt threatened to take not just one jab but 7 boosters or they were not allowed to participate. they were told that this gene altering drug was from Jehovah and that they were unloving if they did not take it. The double speak was thick- with "it's your personal decision"- BUT..........) That doublespeak always does its job on those poor people-- the guilt...
So many have now died or are now sick. The shocking part is that they still don't believe it was the shots that harmed them because they were told that Jehovah would not allow that to happen.- Whatever the GB says is golden..
I have such a hard time understanding how they can believe anything those men say now, but they act in a similar way to an abused woman who defends the husband who beats her. -It's heartbreaking.

Celebrating the resurrection of Christ is reserved for those who believe that he was actually resurrected! Since Jws do not believe in His resurrection but rather in Jesus' forever death while his borrowed 'life force" returned to heaven and then went back to the re-creation of Michael the Archangel -- of course you don't celebrate the resurrection. You have to believe in it first! And if you did ever believe in it you do not have to celebrate it- that's up to you. We are free to celebrate it and you are free not to.

As for pagan stuff- No. You are wrong about Ishtar. The only thing in common with easter is they sound similar. It's like saying embarazada in Spanish means to be embarrassed and not pregnant.. lol
There is NO connection. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
As a matter of fact if we called it Pascha or Pasqua as they do in Italy and Spain you would still say it's pagan! After all Jesus' resurrection to a JW isnt true!
As to eggs- that has to do with the lenten fasting and the eggs would collect. Coloring them way a way to use them. You find evil in everything when the truth is to the pure all things are pure.
What do most believers do on Resurrection Sunday as many call it or Easter?
They get up while it's still dark- they attend a local church and sing praises to the God at sunrise because that's when they discovered the tomb empty. They pray and rejoice and sing and read scriptures.
They may go home and have family over for a meal and give thanks to God.
as a JW you find evil in that because even a Christian or a church is evil to Jws That's a fact.
But we don't care because we are not on this planet to please man.

Are there families who give their kids candy? yep. Do I? No. but if I wanted to I could without stirring up God's wrath. It's just candy.
Do most Christians teach their kids about bunnies creeping thru the house? No, most I know do not. Some do. I dont agree with them but I will let them stand before their master. I believe it takes focus on the true meaning. They know what the holiday is about and they are raising their own children with their own conscience. We agree to disagree.

As to this pagan nonsense you would do well with reading your own JW GB article- and connect the dots-- Pinatas are of pagan origin.

The Piñata—An Ancient Tradition


BY AWAKE! WRITER IN MEXICO

"We found that for many people in Mexico, the piñata has lost its religious significance and is considered by most to be just harmless fun. In fact, piñatas are used in Mexico on many festive occasions, not just for the posadas or for birthdays. And piñatas can be purchased in many forms other than the traditional star shape. They are sometimes made to resemble animals, flowers, clowns.

When considering whether to include a piñata at a social gathering, Christians should be sensitive to the consciences of others. (1 Corinthians 10:31-33) A main concern is, not what the practice meant hundreds of years ago, but how it is viewed today in your area. Understandably, opinions may vary from one place to another. Hence, it is wise to avoid turning such matters into big issues. The Bible says: "Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person."—1 Corinthians 10:24.

It just is what it is, Jane. Applying that underlined principle above is good advice and is what Christians already do.
