Holidays - Thanksgiving Day - by Jennifer Lang

 

THANKSGIVING:

Thanksgiving day is observed on the third Thursday of November to thank 'God' for all of the blessings He has given. It is by some said to be done in remembrance of when the Indians supposedly fed the starving pilgrims, and they learned to help each other, but this story is grossly distorted when they teach the public school children about it.

Yahuwah's feast days show appreciation for the harvest He gives us, and to learn about them, see my page Yahuwah's Holy Days or Feast Days. This page you're on is about our American holiday Thanksgiving.

Many days of thanksgiving are observed by the pagans. Halloween is one of them, when they thank their gods for the harvest, and Easter, when they thank them for the springtime. But our Thanksgiving is not an occult holiday. It is, however, not as innocent as it seems.

The idea that Columbus discovered America and taught the Indians, who already lived here, how to do things, and converted them to Christianity, is not taught accurately in public or Christian schools. Columbus didn't even get to America. He landed in the Caribbean Islands and made slaves out of the people there. 

When the Puritans got to America, they tortured, raped and murdered MANY Native Americans, burned hundreds of them alive, and justified it with their 'religion' (which they would call Christianity)! They made slaves out of many of them, and treated them like crap!

This was their land originally, and the government stole it from them and now allows them to live on small reservations as a ‘favor’. The American ‘picture’ of an Indian and a pilgrim celebrating Thanksgiving together is a false representation of this day. Asking a Native American to celebrate Thanksgiving Day is similar to asking a Jew to celebrate the holocaust.

Here is a informative article on the history of Thanksgiving, called The Devastating Reality of Thanksgiving

Here is an even better one, called A More Accurate Historical Thanksgiving -What Are You Celebrating?

My husband and I (and sometimes family members) do have a  Thanksgiving dinner with a big meal of turkey, potatoes, vegetables, dinner rolls, eggnog and some wine and music, but we usually end up talking about how cruel the Indians were treated and we ‘remember them’ more than we ‘remember the pilgrims’. It's very sad how this country started out and has became what it is today - a very pagan oriented sin filled place that is soon to be judged by Yahuwah Almighty.
