Jwfacts is a good place to go if you have questions. Birthdays not allowed. Once you are a Witness, nobody will talk to you if you don't stop celebrating them.

No birthdays, no Mother's Day, no celebrations unless you're married, then you can have a whopping great Wedding Anniversary do.

St George of England
No sex before marriage
No masturbating
No oral sex ever
No Christmas celebrations
No 'Bless you' if you sneeze......
the list goes on
It's a real fun religion you're studying.

No more celebrations with your lifelong friends. Or your family. No crossing your fingers for good luck. No voting. No standing for your national anthem.
Be prepared to be spied on by those who seem to be your new friends. They will smile at you. They'll tell you you're making such good progress. If you miss a meeting they'll tell you how much everyone missed you. But the closer you get into it the less your life will be your own.You will be watched and reported on at every turn.
So, no birthdays. No old friends. If you have children, you can't give them Christmas presents. And why? Not because the Bible says you can't. Jesus didn't ask his followers to report to the elders on each other's activities. But this is what happens with the Watchtower.
If that sounds to you like the kind of organisation you want to give your life to, keep studying. -

I would be interested to know how you started to study with the JWs (ie, throuth their door-to-door ministry, a relative or friend, or are you dating a JW)?
, and
What leads you to feel their teachings may be the Truth TM ?

if/or when you quit studying their books explaining the Watchtower/Jehovah's Witness program, they will have nothing to do with you any more, it is very conditional.
