Here’s an entire website dedicated to lawsuits filed by Jehovah’s Witnesses against employers who have violated their civil rights:

Actually I’m fond of Christmas and the whole holiday spirit. It’s great to see everything decorated and lit up. I just don’t see it as a religious holiday in the US anymore. It’s so commercialized now that the whole Jesus birthday thing is tossed to the side.

So which religion freaks you out when you see schools in december with christmas decorations all over the place? Those teachers, principals, etc, are all bringing their religion to work….where it doesn’t belong (mix of church and state is against the law). Think about it.

The importance of this duty being stated in her job description cannot be underestimated. Simply put, if she was told that she may have to do these things and she didn’t want to, then she should have never taken the job. But if her not doing this duty of her job is a fire-able offense, then that duty should be stated as part of her job description.

In simpler terms, if you’re going to fire someone for not doing something, you better let them know that they will be expected to do this before hiring them. If you don’t tell them it’s part of their job before hiring them, you’re not really justified in firing them when they don’t do it.

“Ok Bob! We’ve got this Executive Assistant position available for you. All you’ll have to do is type what your boss tells you to, make telephone calls that they tell you to, and relay information for them. Can you do that?” Two weeks later… “Bob, I need you to drive to the country house and feed my dogs. You won’t? Your fired!”

Same shit, different pile.

They came east when Jesus was born. That doesn’t mean that they arrived on the day of his birth.

Take a look here:

I grew up in a Southern Baptist church, and southern baptists are generally believers in the inerrancy of scripture, which, according to the last little bit of that section of the article, would explain why I was taught that it was a couple of years before the wise men came along.

you sure about that?
Mathew 2:1 says:
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem . . .”

That was on the same day, BUT

Matthew 2:11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him . . .

So??? what’s up with that.

On a side note, Nobody ever said there were three men, only that they gave three gifts.

Skyclad Says:

“> The only two birthday celebrations spoken of in the Bible were held by persons who did not worship Jehovah.

Did the 3 wise men not come to give offerings at the birth of Jesus?”

They didn’t get to Jesus until he was two years old or so. I suppose you could view their gifts as birthday gifts, but I think they were more like “Hey we think you’re going to be a really important person so here’s some stuff” type gifts.
