On another thread they were talking about the lack of joy and mental health problems coming from JW kids not being allowed to participate at class dances, sports and so forth. The lack of the joyfulness of birthdays is another factor.
Why not leave some copies of this in your kingdom halls and assemblies if you still attend. If you no longer do, then put some where they can be found or mail or email them to those who are still JWs. Or even share copies with other exJWs who can use them this way.
WHY MOST CHRISTIANS CAN AND DO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS
Luke 2:6 says that angels celebrated Christ's day of birth, many who read first Job 1:3 and then Job 3:1,3 believe it is clear the banquet days Job's children celebrated were birthdays, and Jude 12 says the earliest Christians enjoyed balanced merriment at "love feasts."
Those against birthdays mis-say that in the Bible the only birthdays mentioned are in negative contexts, namely at the birthday of King Herod when he had John the Baptizer's head chopped off, and when an ancient Egyptian was slain. They are also wrong to say "mature" Christians don't celebrate birthdays.
In fact a birthday is a time for honoring the One who caused such happiness, the Creator of Life Himself, and it is also a way of showing the person who receives a birthday that they are loved, not "worshipped" as those against birthdays also sometimes say.
Galatians 5:22 says that one of the fruits of God's Holy Spirit is "joy..." or happiness, and so there is every reason to ignore such misinformation and continue in joyful celebration.
So, got a birthday coming? Romans 14 also shows we have Christian freedom to celebrate or not celebrate such days, so then, if so inclined, you are indeed free to enjoy it to the fullest!
