Never a big deal in the congregations I attended, or in the UK generally.

Sharing birthdays with famous people
by target inwhen my husband was convinced to be baptized back in '74, the jw who studied with my husband went with him to meet with the elders.
when the elder asked for my husband's birthday for his records, he said nov 12 and the jw says "not my birthday, he wants yours".
my husband says, "it is mine".

I think they are an offshoot of the Worldwide Church of God. The Worldwide Church of God has common origins with the Seventh-day Adventist church

Why did Israelite soldiers die following Jehovahs direction?
by truthseeker injoining the armed forces presents an inherent risk that one will die in combat.
there is a historical account in the bible detailing huge losses for the israelite army, when they followed jehovah's direction.
to set the scene - a group of homosexual men surround the house of an old man, asking him to bring out a lodger for sexual gratification.

My JW father-in-law asked me the very same question the other week. I found a Questions from Readers article about it, but there are no satisfactory answers.
