Yes, the swastika goes back to the ancient religious center of Babylon.The swastica is also a sign of peace.... Much, much time before it was ever used for hate.... Should look into it, fascinating history has that cross..We shouldn't be so thrilled to find the bad in everything.
Symbol of Fertility and LifeYes... And the part you keep skipping, it represented, Love.
very true indeedOf course, Love is the greatest Christian symbol of them all:
John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
Thomas
so who should we thank for our life ? JEHOVAH PSALM 83;18So why are they bad again Mee?
So you still haven't explained why you or the organization that speaks out so vehemently against symbology utilizes symbology. Along the same vien why a group of people who rally against symbology and earthly governments register and copywrite that symbology.i love reading the watchtower mags they are most informative and always direct mee to the bible ........ very good![]()

I'm totally confused on this issue. quote]
there is great confusion on a worldwide scale , and i am glad to say that in the worldwide brotherhood of Jehovahs people there is no confusion at all .
thats because they have got out of BABYLON THE GREAT . as Jesus has commanded them too REVELATION 18;4
But those who are not humble enough to listen to Jesus are wandering around in a great confusion.
NOT MEE

If JW's have no confusion and neither do you, why do you avoid the simple question?there is great confusion on a worldwide scale , and i am glad to say that in the worldwide brotherhood of Jehovahs people there is no confusion at all .

"this is my body, this is my blood...do this in memory of me..." "...when you see these signs, you will know that the time is nigh". lol, I guess you forgot that part, about Jesus himself providing Christians with "symbols" and signs.the Babylonian Ea, a god of the waters, was depicted as a man covered with a body that was part fish; the Syrian Atargatis was a fish goddess; and in Egypt certain kinds of fish were viewed as sacred and were even mummified. Such fish worship was, of course, prohibited in God’s law to Israel.—De 4:15-18.
What about the figure of a fish, which appears on some ancient artifacts associated with Christians
Objects dated as far back as the second century C.E. have been found bearing this figure along with the Greek word for fish, ICHTHÝS.
This is understood by many as a cipher for the Greek expression Iesous CHristos THeou Yios Soter, meaning "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior." Is the fish a truly Christian symbol?
According to The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, fish frequently appear in ancient pagan symbolism, often apart from water scenes. "In such cases," notes this reference work, "it would seem to have symbolic significance, possibly to represent deity, power, fecundity, etc."
The same publication further notes that certain Jews adopted use of the fish symbol from pagan religious customs, adding: "It is probable that the considerations mentioned [in this regard] account in part for the appearance of the fish in the art of the oldest Christian catacombs.
How early the Greek word for ‘fish’ (ichthýs) came to be interpreted as a cipher for ‘Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior’ . . . we do not know; but once this identification was made, the fish became a standard Christian symbol."
The Bible, however, sets forth no visible symbol for Christianity. Christians today, therefore, must be on guard not to adopt such a symbol.
"this is my body, this is my blood...do this in memory of me..." "...when you see these signs, you will know that the time is nigh". lol, I guess you forgot that part, about Jesus himself providing Christians with "symbols" and signs.
Namaste mee,i am glad to say mee has those things in clear focusthe annual memorial 22nd march this year,
the memorial of christs death i will be an observer to this very important thing.
One reason why the Memorial was instituted had to do with one purpose served by Jesus’ death. ...
Observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal reminds us of the great love shown by both Jehovah and his Son in connection with Jesus’ sacrificial death. How we should appreciate that love!
thats because Jehovahs witnesses listen to Jesus and the bible . memorialize Jesus death ...... YES ............. sticking to what the bible teaches is for mee.Namaste mee,
You crack me up!
You don't celebrate Easter or Good Friday...no...that is Pagan... but you celebrate the memorial!
So are you celebrating Jesus's Death or the Lord's evening meal?
The evening meal, wasn't an evening meal, he probably had one of those most every evening of his life ('cept when fasting). Many Christians refer to it as the last supper, which is a little more accurate although you may have some opposition to those terms since you've got your own. Isn't the correct term Passover, something that he celebrated every year of his life. Something Jews continue, breaking bread and drinking wine, and going through the Passover traditions. Do you follow the same traditions the Jews do for this meal?
still wondering about that castle worship you are avoiding...
