Just wondering, why the caption on one of your photos says, "City of London - not any part of England." Of course the City of London is part of England. It isn't some kind of mini-state within England. It's not like the Vatican, which indeed is not officially part of Italy. (Or did the caption mean, "The City of London. An important place, not just any old part of England"?
Because I am English, and live in the UK, it just struck me as a strange caption, saying that the City of London is not part of England. I am sorry you feel that I ignored all the other points you have made on this thread, but as that was my only post on this thread, I feel that is rather an unfair accusation. Surely when people reply to posts on Christian Chat, they don't need make mention of every point made in the thread by the poster to whom they are replying.
Yes, I know that most of the months are named after pagan gods, so are the days of the week.
To be quite honest, I don't know who gave the months their names in English. I do know that the Quakers used numbers for the days of the week.
It's probably the conspiracy theory about the City of London "Corporation". The same goes for DC- the conspiracy view is that these "corporations" arent proper government bodies.
I was trying to keep the topic in line with the thread, which I why I chose this thread to write in. Also, since it relates to the SDA Prophecy. I really believe the O.P. is SDA, since he was pretty much echoing what that church teaches.
As far as other faiths, the Roman Bishop pretty much blurs the lines in other faiths all day long. You know about the heathen infiltration in Catholic doctrine? Like Sun "worship", worship on "SUNDAY", the calender the most everyone uses is the Gorgian Calendar.
You do know many Reformers/Protestant Leaders named the office of the Vatican as the anti-christ?!?! The Catholic Church pretty much swallows up all religions, and tries to be the leader. The Catholic Church's calendar literally names the days of the weeks for Pagan gods, Calendar is based on the sun's orbit, and months are named after pagan gods and Roman Emperors.
You can believe whatever you want, but I figure it's good to share some knowledge. What you do with it, is entirely up to you.

"Many Pagan traditions honor the sun, often personifying it as a deity, but sun worship is typically symbolic rather than literal worship of the sun itself." random quote

The English days of the week were established by the Anglo Saxons. Since America has church/state division, I doubt that Mr Trump could change them on a religious basis. And obviously no one cares enough to change them. To me, it would be like not liking the word "dog" and changing for the sake of it. Oh. That's happening. "Doggo", "Pupper", " fur baby"....... excuse me while I find a bucket.
Not true, you know me. I spent twenty years with a group that referred to the Lord's day, the first day of the week, etc. Neither did they celebrate "Christmas" or "Easter" for the same reason.
