    In 1902 there was an office in Barmen-Elberfeld (today a part of Wuppertal) distributing Watchtowers and Russell's books. So, the German branch celebrates its 100th "birthday" this year.

    Last weekend there was a so-called "Day with Open Doors" (Tag der offenen Tür, quite common in Germany) when the public was invited and anybody could come and take a look at the facilities and eat and drink.

    I might be wrong assuming that if a JW hits 100 she/he is not supposed to follow this example and open ones door?

    Just like charity work i.e. not for file and rank publisher.

    our birthday?

    Soon there will be, owing to the 1914 generation.

    Ein Geburtstagbeteiligtes. Sicher scherzen Sie. Zeugen Jehovahs feiern nicht Geburtstage.
