He may unwittingly have been doing God’s will:

Jeremiah 10:1-7

........................................................

Didn’t even have to look it up. I don’t worship a decorated tree.

Jehovah’s Witness?

**Jehovah’s Witness?**

No. I realize that, as an organization, the JWs don’t do Christmas, but it is still not observed by many folks that claim to be followers of the Word of God.

My paternal grandparents were United Brethren, and didn’t have the tree. My maternal grandparents were Methodist, and started having a tree when my mother was born..

I was raised Presbyterian, mostly because it was nearby the farm we lived on (Mercer County, IL). Our little country church was very conservative back in the 50s, but was already accepting the tree and Santa Claus nonsense.
My wife and I joined a Pentecostal church in 1982, and we haven’t had a tree since.

As said in Jeremiah, it can’t do good or evil, it’s mankind’s vanity.

And every year (it seems) one burns down a house, taking a family with it.
