   Friend james confirms; thanksgiving day is just like non-jw.   
      
   >We make it a point to thank God daily, not just yearly.   
   >   
   >Having turkey on that day is alright if that what one wants. God has   
   >provided all kinds of food for us to eat.   
      
   Jw devotees do have the usual u.s. thanksgiving day celebrations, they   
   just don't call it is the diffference.   
      
   Friend james forgets that in u.s. slaughter of native americans happened   
   daily over a period of history.   
      
   Also, the national thanksgiving day was declared in 1863 by lincoln and his   
   reasons had nothing to do with pilgrims and indians.   
      
   >But that day does remind   
   >many of the slaughter and attempted genocide of the American Indians   
   >by the Colonists.   
   >   
   >It is sad many people unknowingly celebrated that. But God knew and   
   >has not forgotten. For to God, that slaughter happened minutes ago not   
   >centuries ago. (2 Pet 3:8)   
      
   Ah, friend james remembers it happened on a regular basis in his daily   
   thanksgiving celebrations, no?   
      
   As typical; friend james does not answer questions.  Now why is that; what   
   is he trying to hide ?   
      
      
   I have heard from jw insiders the jw vatican previously had no view on the   
   day and it was celebrated as usual.  Only in more recent times did it flip   
   flop on the question, the standard practice of flip flopping once more like   
   som many many things.
