That's not a Biblical attitude to take.
If you celebrate a day in honor of a deity that you're not supposed to, Biblically speaking, what happens to you NEXT is what defines things.
The Jews worshipped gods they weren't supposed to, and what happened according to the Bible? Their Temple got closed down and demolished by the authorities and the Jews got sent into Babylonian exile.
Thus the correct Biblical way of looking at this would be that the JWs celebrated the Memorial, and in response as a sign of divine disfavor the authorities closed down their shrines and temples and outlawed their religion.
If the Witnesses want to be Biblical about it, this is a sign they've been rejected, not assisted.

In reality it looks like Jehovah got his ass kicked in Russia.
