I know in these times we are not allowed to judge, but here is the history of the world according to the a couple of those religions that we don’t quite understand. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and our hometown favorites the Scientologists.
3. Jehovah’s Witnesses
First let’s start with the Jehovah’s Witnesses, this one is pretty odd, especially when according to them we should already be dead as of 1914, but alas as most failed prophecy doctrine was changed when it did not come true. But don’t underestimate it, one day Jesus/Michael will blow up the earth saving only the 144,000 Witnesses!
Remember, this is what Michael Jackson and his family believe.

OLYMPIA, Wash. - State officials, besieged by requests for more seasonal displays at the state Capitol, have approved several more - including a “Festivus” display honoring a faux holiday popularized by TV comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
The new display requests come on top of an anti-religion placard, a Christmas tree and a Christian nativity scene erected earlier this week and a pro-religion sign added Friday.
The state General Administration, which runs the state Capitol building, have OK’d four of the requests so far:
- On Saturday, Dec. 6: A balloon nativity shelter from a private citizen.
- On Sunday, Dec. 7: A demonstration by a group called “Private Citizens of Federal Way” against the atheistic sign will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. on the front steps.
- On Monday, Dec 8: A display will go up in the capitol from the Washington Values Alliance.
- On Wednesday, Dec 10: A Festivus display from a private citizen.
According to the online reference Wikipedia, Festivus is an annual holiday invented by writer Dan O’Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld.
Most people now celebrate the holiday on Dec. 23, as depicted on the December 18, 1997, Seinfeld episode “The Strike.”
The holiday includes novel practices such as the “Airing of Grievances”, in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year.
