New 'Asleep', uh, I mean, 'Awake' information on b-days....

by TallTexan in

i was looking in one of the more recent copies of the awake and there is a question from the readers on pinatas.

i won't go into the whole thing, but in the response, at one point, the awake says that (paraphrase) "the bible puts birthdays in a bad light.

however (and i love that word, 'cuz it implies, 'well, we've changed our minds again') if a practice has no current false religious attachments, then it is up to each individual to decide what they will do".....that's not verbatim, but it's close enough.

They are basically saying that its obvious from the bible that Birthdays should still be prohibited.

Animal, that is what the local paper says too. San Diego was right in-between the two quakes.

i was thinking about this the other day in response to the question, "am i coming back?

" put forward by jw who called me (a former friend).

i said that i would not answer that question since it would put her in an uncomfortable position.

Ahh, but isn't it great knowing that there is no need for humans to be tied down to any earthly organization?
