    One problem that we face as former dubs (especially those of us whose parents converted to dubdom while we were small) is that we have little experience in birthday customs or traditions. For instance I have an etiquette question: At a child's birthday party does the beheading take place prior to or subsequent to the playing of "Pin the tail on the Donkey."

    Matty, when did they ban birthdays and birthday cards?

    I don't know exactly, but the couple that I spoke to about the "Daily Manna and Birthday Record" had been in da troof since the mid thirties.

    Joel,

    Sorry, I meant to wish you a belated birthday. I was looking for a cake picture to put in the thread, and i got the JS/NoClose virus.

    anyway

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU JOEL

    good point joel, and happy belated !

    why do they even bother with memorial services for their members ? why do they find it acceptable to acknowledge a person's death when they find it unacceptable to acknowledge something as miraculous as his birth?

    oh, but wait, they don't acknowledge his death do they, they have an "info-mercial" for the k.h.
