How they passed the "spiritual inspection" in 1918 though they were still celebrating Christmas (and did so for many years afterwards) never made sense to me."<BR/><BR/>Why would that stop a favorable inspection? Since JWs did it at the time, it was not improper. But once JWs determined that it was pagan and Christians are not to do it, then it became improper.<BR/><BR/>So Jesus knew that once they learned that it was pagan, they would stop. That is the only thing that counts.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115946270655365230noreply@blogger.com
