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 .

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..
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.
g03 9/22pp.22-24 The Piñata—An Ancient Tradition ***


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.

...and pagan symbols to say nothing of the rites and rituals. If one looks, they will see the origins of Easter are found in a pagan festival celebration of seasonal renewal that has taken place around the time of the Spring Equinox. The date upon which Easter is held varies from year to year, and corresponds with the first Sunday following the full moon after the March equinox.

Here is a good explanation.. "Easter is one of Christianity’s highest and holiest days, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. But the origins of today’s very Christian holiday are firmly rooted in the ancient traditions of pagan religions from many parts of the world. With its blend of solemn religious symbolism and the fun of Easter eggs and bunny rabbits, Easter as we know it is a patchwork of beliefs and practices related to the themes of springtime, rebirth, and renewal....

Easter doesn’t fall on the same date every year. Thus, even this aspect of the holiday is connected with pagan celebrations of the cycles of nature. The vernal equinox marks the time when night and day are of equal length. It’s also a celebration by pagan cultures to welcome the arrival of the long days of spring and summer."

And more..."Easter is a pagan festival. If Easter isn't really about Jesus, then what is it about? Today, we see a secular culture celebrating the spring equinox, whilst religious culture celebrates the resurrection. However, early Christianity made a pragmatic acceptance of ancient pagan practises, most of which we enjoy today at Easter. The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross) and his rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a well worn story in the ancient world. There were plenty of parallel, rival resurrected saviours too.

The Sumerian goddess Inanna, or Ishtar, was hung naked on a stake, and was subsequently resurrected and ascended from the underworld. One of the oldest resurrection myths is Egyptian Horus. Born on 25 December, Horus and his damaged eye became symbols of life and rebirth. Mithras was born on what we now call Christmas day, and his followers celebrated the spring equinox. Even as late as the 4th century AD, the sol invictus, associated with Mithras, was the last great pagan cult the church had to overcome. Dionysus was a divine child, resurrected by his grandmother. Dionysus also brought his mum, Semele, back to life.

In an ironic twist, the Cybele cult flourished on today's Vatican Hill. Cybele's lover Attis, was born of a virgin, died and was reborn annually. This spring festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday, rising to a crescendo after three days, in rejoicing over the resurrection. ....."http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/apr/03/easter-pagan-symbolism

Easter is not simply one feast among others, but “Feast of feasts,” the “Solemnity of solemnities,” just as Eucharist is “Sacrament of sacraments” (the Great Sacrament).​

St. Athanasius calls Easter “the Great Sunday,” and the Eastern Churches call Holy Week “the Great Week.” The mystery of the Resurrection, in which Christ crushed death……

The descendants of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.​
The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
From that land, he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth; the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward, the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.
And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

Easter is not simply one feast among others, but “Feast of feasts,” the “Solemnity of solemnities,” just as Eucharist is “Sacrament of sacraments” (the Great Sacrament).​

St. Athanasius calls Easter “the Great Sunday,” and the Eastern Churches call Holy Week “the Great Week.” The mystery of the Resurrection, in which Christ crushed death……

The descendants of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.​
The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
From that land, he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth; the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward, the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.
And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.
To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Tim 4:1-5 (NKJV)

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thess 2:1-12 (NKJV)
The Apostasy of Israel "Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.
Israel will cry to Me, ‘My God, we know You!’
Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him.
"They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them. From their silver and gold, they made idols for themselves-- That they might be cut off.
Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them-- How long until they attain innocence?
From Israel, even this is true: A workman made it, and it is not God; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
"They sow the wind, And reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; It shall never produce meal. If it were to produce, Aliens would swallow it up.
Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles like a vessel in which is no pleasure. For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers.
Yes, though they have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; And they shall sorrow a little because of the burden of the king of princes.
"Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, They have become for him altars for sinning.
I have written for him the great things of the law, But they were considered a strange thing.
For the sacrifices of My offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, But the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt.
“For Israel has forgotten his Maker, And has built temples; Judah also has multiplied fortified cities; But I will send fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces.” Hosea 8:1-14

New gods
R (45)

They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates; Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
My heart is with the rulers of Israel who offered themselves willingly with the people. Bless the Lord!
Judges 5:8-9

Deuteronomy 32:17

Maybe you should re-educate yourself on ancient Egyptians like the women, Hager, and her descendants, and ancestors, better yet, ancient Babylonians

The Catholic tradition
Did not invent Easter, but the Council of Nicaea in 325 established a universal method for determining the date of Eastern and Western traditions.

For the Roman Catholics and western branches of the tradition of celebrating Sunday following the first full moon of spring dates back to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD

Since 1582, based on the Gregorian calendar, the early 2nd century AD.
by Pope Gregory XIII IN 1582 to worship Caesar Bossier, the son of I believe Sylvestre Cesare Bossier, on Easter Sunday

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Col 2:8-10 (NKJV)

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 Peter 1:18-19

Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition, which you have handed down. And many such things you do."
Mark 7:13

Easter according to Vatican and any other special holidays it is a spell over the mine of the congregation, the Lord says to Satan that for the rest of his duration on earth that he will eat all the days of his life the dust of the earth, in another phrase the Lord says from dust you came from and from dust you shall return

The spell is cast every Sunday by serving the sins of the people directly to Satan upon the altar. Catholics, without knowing that when the person goes to confess their sins at the booth, the priest also eats the sins of their confession, as a reward.
Matthew 24: 11-13

Satan said to Jesus If you serve me, all this will be yours, meaning wealth and prosperity, but the catch is your soul, for the soul of the individual belongs to Satan

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Cor 11:3-4 (KJV)

Remember, all this spiritual sense Christ is a spirit discerning good and evil in the Bible
1 Corinthians 2: 11 discerning

Hebrews 5: 14; 1Corintians 2:15-15; 1 1Corintians 12: 10; Deuteronomy 30: 15-16
