I think it's quaint and heartwarming that you feel that JW's have made a break from pagan beliefs. JW's fellow christians think they have as well, and strongly disagree with the notion that -JW's- have. Again, I think that this is silly. You're both arguing your doctrines, rather than fact...and quite frankly, neither of you are on friendly terms with facts. The defensive believer in you desperately needs to make this about me.
It isn't, I haven't been saying these things, you have. Own the conversation that you chose to have. -All of you- are indebted to your pagan forebearers. There's no break. Without the pagan influence you wouldn't even recognize your own religions. They would seem as alien to all of you as judaism -already seems- to all of you. Understand? Your polytheistic arianism is somehow better or less pagan than their monotheistic trinitarianism? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds to anyone who was -not- raised as a JW? Are we really already at the point where everything you've been taught is useless, that your only response to me is "oh yeah, well you're -x-"? Why is that? Why did the people who gave you the answers leave you so unprepared against even the most gentle of resistance?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
