Jehovah Witnesses warn against paganism- "PAGAN HOLIDAYS", "PAGAN RITUALS"- and it's true! Many holidays- INCLUDING CHRISTMAS- are pagan. But how many of them know that their creator was a big time pagan in the secret occult world? Charles Taze Russell was fascinated with mythology and pyramids , so much so that he picked out a tombstone for himself that's a pyramid.
He also predicted that the world would end in 1914, well, we are still here- the bible warns against- FALSE PROPHETS.
Your response- and save the emotional rhetoric, it just shows extra insecurity in your faith.
And for the record I am Christian- but you cannot dig up my creator- Jesus Christ.

Jehovah God is mankind's Creator. It seems remarkably blasphemous to suggest that 'Jehovah is pagan' or that some human was the Creator. Does the citing of Scriptures seem to be "emotional rhetoric"?
(Isaiah 40:28) Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite
(Numbers 23:19) God is not a man

Jehovah God our creator is not a pagan God. Triads and Trinity's that devote self-worship are.
Charles Taze Russell took the first steps to remove himself from the pagan world by trying new ideas. It took awhile, thousands of years of pagan dogma does not occur overnight but the eventual removal of Christmas, the Cross and other pagan items took place.

Satan was a slanderer too you know, what good does it do for you to lie about something you do not know? Our creator is Jehovah God, our savior is Jesus Christ and the only means of salvation that Jehovah provided for the saving of mankind. The end of the world was not predicted in 1914, but that Jesus would be enthroned by God then. Even Jesus' disciples at first did not understand everything Jesus was telling them. Even his disciples asked him; Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Jerusalem at this time? Thinking he was restoring his kingdom on earth not in heaven. We are having 3 day district conventions this year on "Follow the Christ", Why don't you come and find out some truth?

I have one of his books depicting the pyramid views.
What got Russell on a different path?
The following question he asked himself:
How could a God of Love literally burn someone in Hellfire for eternity?
It started him and others he drafted, and others later, into a deep research of Bibles and doctrines.
As truth became known, falsities were dropped.
You failed to mention, he and others in his time, celebrated Christmas and Birthdays.
Same thing.
As the truth concerning those became known, those things were dropped.
Can Christendom say that? No.
Even though they know the truth about Christmas, they continue the go along with it.

Okay.... yeah Paganism is in everything whether people want to admit it or not. Various forms of rituals being practices throughout all cultures. No one can tell me that Paganism isn't in Christianity either. What is dancing in the spirit? I only call it like I see it......... it's somewhat like a form of Shamanism......change the clothing, remove the bibles and there you have it. More Pagans, dressed in fancy clothes driving fancy cars and eating in fancy restaurants on Sundays and talking the fancy talk.
What makes them better than us? Oh! they have this one book that they like to quote scriptures from.

Contrary to the wishful thinking of some idiots, Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians. And a true Christian is someone who fully rejects the God-dishonoring, unscriptural teaching of the Trinity. To accept the trinity is to reject true Christianity.

Their creator is Jesus Christ too y'know...
You have to understand that there are many different people who wants to be in different kinds of religion.
What your saying won't make a difference for what people strongly believe in.
I'll give you points for obtaining the information about whats pagan and whatnot, thanks, wish there were more people like you = )

You probably can't dig up Charles Taze Russell or Muhammad or Moses, either.
See, over time... things decompose. So... there you go.
Hail Satan,
