The funny thing is that my JW mom saw it and laughed at it and said it was funny. Her birthday happened to be the day before, and when I called her she said to me "Aren't you going to wish me a Happy Birthday?"
I sent an online birthday card to my non JW sister yesterday...

Tres, very cool.
They do wish to be normal. They just need an excuse to make it seem like you are pushing your normalcy on them.

Perhaps you should have sent your mother a card as well? Maybe she'd be more receptive than you think.

That's cool, Tres. Seems strange at first, doesn't it? It did to me at least.
I just got back from the store buying my gf's son a birthday present. He'll be 5. He loves tractors, so I got him a farm and tractor equipment set. -

Yeah my mom was all weird when I didnt say anything about it being her birthday one year. But then my grandmother also gave me 13 dollars when I turned 13
Yet they can be such sticklers. I remember if someone had a birthday at school I was not allowed to have any of the cake but I was shocked when my mom did at a staff party. Of course I made the mistake of pointing this out and got a how dare you judge me considering what you are lecture LOL.

When was the last counsel on birthdays anyway? Isn't the rule that if a stand on something hasn't been commented on in twenty years, it's no longer valid?
