I looked at their website once - just out of idle interest: there's a woman at my work who is/was a Jehovah's Witness - as I understand it, they seem to regard Jesus pretty much as what bits of the bible I've read do... I.e. that he is the son of God. Literally. Like some Muslims do. That is, not God himself, just the son of God. In which case, there'd be no reason for a religious Christmas as it stands - God wasn't born that day.
Maybe Aradhus might make it clearer - it'd be therapy for him/her...
Him. Ugh, honestly I generally forget bullshit. Jesus is the son of god. JW's totally reject the trinity, hell, and most other Catholic doctrines. Jesus wasn't actually born on december 25th was he? I'm fairly certain the bible suggests that Jesus was born around the time of harvest, which wouldn't be december.
