Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is Divine and of the same nature as God.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!

Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. They do NOT celebrate so-called "Christmas" because "Christmas" does NOT celebrate Christ; "Christmas" celebrates the pagan Saturnalia. Jesus was not even born in December. Nearly all so-called Christmas customs dishonor Christ.

By contrast, it's tragic that the one holiday Christ actually *DID* ask Christians to commemorate is entirely ignored by almost all of Christendom. It is, of course, the Memorial of Christ's death, sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".

(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.”

(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.”


Christ Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have done so on the same Jewish calendar date as Jesus did, Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "Fourteen-ers", because the early Christians were well-known for this true holy day.

How would Jesus feel to learn that the holiday he commanded was widely ignored, while his so-called followers chose to celebrate a pagan false god and their own traditions of men? We don't need to wonder.

(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”

Answer 2

Just to set the record straight, :-)

As to why we don't celebrate Christmas.

We do believe that that Christ came, lived and died for our salvation.

We do believe that Christ is our Lord and Master.

We do believe that Christ is the Son of God, and that every knee should bend to him.

We don't believe in the trinity.

We don't celebrate christmas, because you can't find it in the bible. Yes Jesus was born
Yes he was born in Bethleham, but did you know that the "wise men" came when Jesus was living in a house and was almost 2 years old?

Did you know that everything from the Dec. 25, to St. Nick to the tree, to giving gifts are pagan

Did you know that Paul said christians should not touch any religious practice if it is linked to pagan celebrations (2 Cor chapter 6:14 to 18)

I hope this clears up any misinformation you may have heard.

Jehovah's Witnesses follow Paul counsel to Marry only in the Lord.

Since Marriage is a life time comment, It is better to be with someone who will encourage and help each other to remain faithful to Jehovah and Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

We do not celebrate Christmas.

Additionally, for the most part, because we view dating as a prelude to marriage, we do note date those who are not Jehovah's Witnesses, in harmony with the admonition at 1 Corinthians 7:39:

"A wife is bound during all the time her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord."
