I have seen that happen many times. But the thing that is of interest is the Society has backed down some on Birthday's. At one time you would of hung from the nearest tree. Now if the Elders do their resaerch and do things right it is not a DF'ing matter. So what is next?

make the mere mortals feel bad, most JW kids would like to crawl under a rock
Thanks, this is the way my kids feel, because I still do not let them have birthday party's but I do get them gifts and make a big deal about it. It hurts me to not have the guts to let them have a birthday party and invite their friends over. But it would cause world war 3 because my mom and my in-law's would have the Elders over here right now.

Do the dubs stay in for the promised paradise?
by greendawn init appears that most jws are in the wts for selfish reasons, because they want to gain the paradise that they being promised by the gb.
they have no real deep brotherly love, that's for sure, and their leaders don't really seem to want to cultivate such a quality in them.
now if this paradise hope was finally removed if they were told forget it, it will never come in your lifetime do you think that most jws would leave the organisation?

Most are there for the promised paradise and would leave if they were told that they would just grow old and die with no paradise for loyalty. They go for the selfish reasons take the rewards away poof they would be gone.

Very good questions but the reason is because it is actually the SUN GOD'S birthday and not Jesus. Yes we not know when Jesus was born but we do know that Dec, 25th is the birthday of the Sun GOD is that is the main reason.

"Consequently, while it is entirely a private matter if Christians choose to take note of their wedding anniversary, there are good reasons why mature Christians abstain from celebrating birthdays."
Notice it Say's MATURE CHRISTIANS. This canme up in my congregation, There was a sister that quit going to the meetings she was married to a non-believer, her husband demanded that she celebrated their kids birthday. Her mom brought this up to the Elders. I went and talked to her and asked her why, she celebrated birthday's. We did not know what to do because we did not want to cause her any problems because she was hurting no one, but her mom was stumbled so we had to do something the C.O. was called and he quoted the above MAg. He said the article mean just what it Say's, she had the right to celebrate her kids birthday and if she started back in she would be considered weak not mature. He said any brother that celebrated birthday's would not be give any special privileges.
SO IT IS NOT DF'ING OFFENSE
