Unless someone dies, it isn't much of a birthday party. Maybe that's just my WT upbringing talking.

What about the increased risk of death from engaging in sexual activity? Granted, I'm still rather new at being "worldly", but wouldn't your b'day be one of the primary days of the year to get laid?
14% greater probability of dying in the arms of a lover with birthday cake and booze on your breath. It doesn't sound so bad to me as a way to go when I'm over 60. It would be the probability of falling down a flight of stairs to my death at a WT Discrap Crapvention arena that would be a terrible waste.

" told my wife i did not want to be JW anymore... said that in that case we should split up"
I wonder why JWs have such a terrible reputation in France for breaking up marriages?

"Guy Pierce on the back cover. Yay!"
Maybe they're hoping for a positive reaction from Grandpa Munster fans.

Welcome!
"So please forgive my English grammar, it might be some times...improper"
Don't worry about English grammar. Compared to the seriousness with which French grammar is policed, English grammar is nonexistant.

As of the nulite on the FDS being the GB, all that stuff is just "old light" and "apostate" anyway.

"When people at the doors reject us and the food from the Faithful and Discreet Slave, they are rejecting Jesus and Jehovah."
I just rolled my eyes so hard I bruised my corneas.
Why would the Japanese care about Jesus and Jehovah? Other religions are as valid as, or more valid than Christianity in their country. Some guy that never wrote a word died two thousand years ago in a Middle Eastern city smaller than many Japanese cities should impress them why? So too, why would they care about the FDS?
Imagine a Japanese religio-publishing corporation coming to America or Europe and saying that when people reject the leadership of the Japanese emperor, they are rejecting the dieties and nature. The collective response would be, "yeah, so?"
"Glad Chris Mavor is getting to travel. He has worked in the executive offices for years and plays French horn in the WT orchestra. Really nice guy. It's about time he gets some perks. IMO he's too smart not to have awakened, but like so many, his gig with WT is more appealing than what would be available to him on the outside."
Chris' wife Susan gave up a rising career in opera for "da troof". She's interviewed on the second "Young People Axe" video. Such a waste of her talent to sing Botchtower Maladies.

Hey man!
You're a true prophet.
I suspect that the massive increases in the number of partakers helped them to decide to make if official that only the GB is the FDS. But it really complicates their historical timeline of WT since the GB is a construct of the 1970s, and not dating back to 1914. Once again they have to get out the smoke and mirrors and rewrite history to fit their teachings.

He lost the job because he refused to do the job. A cake decorator who refuses to decorate cakes for religious reasons? Why would he take such a job in the first place? If he won't decorate Christmas cakes, what about Easter, Halloween, Birthday cakes, etc? Will he refuse to decorate a same-sex wedding cake? What part of the job WILL he do? When do JWs ever purchase decorated cakes? Aren't wedding cakes rooted in paganism? Wouldn't a graduation cake be an unacceptable "worldly celebration" of Satanic, secular education? Jesus never miraculously provided cake at any time, he stuck to bread and fish!
It's one thing to say, "I'm being harassed because of my religion," if he was fired for refusing to attend the company Christmas party. It's something entirely different to say, after you've been hired, "I refuse to do many parts of my job because it's against my religion." So the business must keep this slacker on the payroll and hire another person to do his work?
