Whats the deal?

huh

I don't understand this whole no celebrating thing is. please explain!!!
~Confused~

What do you not understand? JWs believe that it is satanic to celebrate any holiday. They cite sources that say pagans also have holidays the same day to obscure the true meaning of holidays. Other holidays they says it's wrong to honor something or someone on just one day a year instead of every day. Point is, they obscure the meaning of every holiday and require total obediance to the ban-- in practicality isolating their people on purpose to keep them submitted. They believe they are doing right but they are mistaken.
Biblically, holidays are not forbidden and some are commanded, the concept of honoring God on days to commemorate his miracles is also biblical. If you have specific holidays in mind just ask & I can give their argument and the scriptural reply.

The Ralph Woodrow Evangelistic Association provides material which is helpful in overcoming prejudice against celebrating Christmas and Easter, and other prejudices which groups such as JWs ingrain into the minds of their people. Their website is http://www.raphwoodrow.org.

This is a good resource for those who have recently left the WT and would like some justification for observing popular customs. These taboos are meant to separate JWs from all other people, but those who have left the WT don't need to be different anymore.
