It made things very awkward around Christmas time. I was just wondering if anyone knew. Thanks, Dawn Also... what are topic tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. The also believe they are the 144,000 ..just not sure which of them are since there are more than that..etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deny that Jesus is God in the flesh. They are a cult and not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any class participation with dates like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc. will result in the same denial of participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sad because I had to deny a 7 year old kid from having a cup cake when everyone else in the class had one because his mother told me he could not have candy or cup cakes if they were holiday related. It just felt so wrong that I had to do this to a kid. He also had to sit in the office when the rest of the class went to a Christmas concert .

These are groups that claim to be Christians but are not because they don't follow the basic principles/rules of Christianity. and have twisted scripture somewhat. This is not the same as a Christian denomination such as Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals etc. However despite the heresy and falseness of Jehovah's Witnesses, I personally have a lot to thank them for...... but that's another story.

Now I am curious....what do you have to thank them for? I don't know much about them and I respect the freedom we have to chose to believe what we want to... but I don't understand why people fall into these cult like type religions when they have bibles to read and find answers for themselves.
