Tom,

Welcome!

We’ve no desire to spoil it for those who want to observe it (unless explaining our reasons for not celebrating constitutes spoiling it)

I am sure that you think you aren’t spoiling the celebration of the season, but if you read my dialog above you should see that exchanging the provision of Jehovah God and making it a satanic sign probably would spoil it for most people.  If it was true, it would be something to think about.  Unfortunately the Watchtower’s view is not true nor is it faithful to the scripture and it does not honor Jehovah as it should.

I would invite you to my web site at http://www.jwinfoline.com for testimonies of people who have found the other side of the story that isn’t told by the Watchtower organization.  There is much freedom in this season to honor Jesus and to be thankful for God’s provision of the one born King, Messiah and Savior.
