She's divorced, the dad has the kids for a week, and her parents are jehova's witness, so she has nobody for Christmas. There is still time, what can I do?

She isn't calling me back, but I haven't called since Saturday. I could try again but I don't want to be a pest. Wouldn't she call back if she wanted to do something?

My family is done spending Christmas, and I'd like to do something with this person. I know where she lives, should I just show up?

I was thinking about calling and if I get no answer, leave the message, I'm coming over at 7, if you want to stop me you have to lock the door? We are very good friends so she wouldn't be worried about stalker issues or anything like that.

Well, stopping by unannounced is rather passe these days. Call first. You don't need to bring a gift, yet something even if it's homemade would be a really decent idea. Don't be a shmuck and leave the message you were planning on. That WILL get you in trouble with her big time.

I'd still call first before going over there. Just in case someone else hasn't dropped by to see her. Never know. Then ask if she'd like some company. This way it at least gives her a chance to change her clothes I mean if she's not expecting anyone she might not be dressed as she would if she knew someone was coming over. So give her a call. ;o)

The woman mentioned in this question should spend some time with her Jehovah's Witness family. Just because the parents do not celebrate a pagan holy day does not mean they will fail to demonstrate love and support to their own daughter during a difficult time.

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.

(Jeremiah 10:2-5) This is what Jehovah has said: "Do not learn the way of the nations at all... 3 For the customs of the peoples are just an exhalation, because it is a mere tree out of the forest that one has cut down, the work of the hands of the craftsman with the billhook. 4 With silver and with gold one makes it pretty. With nails and with hammers they fasten them down, that none may reel. ...the doing of any good is not with them."

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.’”
