What the Jehovah’s Witnesses Get Wrong About Christmas
from Following Jesus · host David Cipriano

They believe it’s a holiday rooted in pagan traditions and that it is not approved by God. So in this video, we’ll look at the reasons they give for not celebrating it, and what they get wrong about Christmas’s historical origins.Why the Jehovah’s Witnesses Are a Cult - https://youtu.be/45zb2fr6_RsAre Christmas Trees Pagan? - https://youtu.be/jENQM0VxKHIHey!
