  2. beliefs

  a newbie introduction: i am a secular humanist/unitarian universalist , married to a non-active jw (iow, about as far apart on the spectrum as you can get).

  my husband only attends meetings twice a year (memorial and convention) but still believes much of the theology.

  now my question: is there a prohibition against celebrating the feasts and holidays mentioned in the old testament?

  A newbie introduction: I am a Secular Humanist/Unitarian Universalist , married to a non-active JW (IOW, about as far apart on the spectrum as you can get). My husband only attends meetings twice a year (Memorial and Convention) but still believes much of the theology. Now my question: Is there a prohibition against celebrating the feasts and holidays mentioned in the Old Testament? For a summary of the things I'm talking about see Leviticus 23. For example: Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread- Commemoration of the Israelites liberation from Egypt. Marked by a feast of unleavened bread, bitter herbs and lamb (not usually present now in Jewish commemorations since the destruction of the Temple). Sukkot- Commemorates the 40-year period the Israelites wandered in the desert and a harvest festival. I know there is no requirement to celebrate these holidays, but are they looked down upon like the so-called pagan or secular holdiays? Thanks! Lysis
