The ''dreaded'' birthday cake
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

RULES & REGULATIONS
Could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
They'd have monthly fire drills, where Max Larson would give a report on output numbers at the Bethel factory. I think it was mentioned there in the 70's, 'no more party's at work!'
Up until then, usually we'd have snacks and soda celebrating a guy who was leaving after a certain number of years of giving free labor.

WT never gave their blessing on outside activity 'sponsored by the congregation' other than preaching or assembly.
I was shocked in 1974, as soon as I arrived at Bethel that my assigned Cong. sponsored a bus trip to a New York State Park on a Sat; I guess with other Congregations participating. A Ministerial Servant made a short announcement from the platform during the Service meeting.
I went, it was packed out, there was no room to swim in the pools, standing room only.
It even slipped by a Bethel Elder we had at the hall, of course he missed a lot of the meetings, as the Elders were always having Judicial Committee meetings during the Service meetings and on Sundays. It was a huge Cong. (like a miniature Circuit Assembly) where usually someone got D'F'd every Thur. night and Sunday.
In the next month's Kingdom Ministry there was an announcement, that outside activity sponsored by the congregation was not allowed.
Bun, #11 went to the Hall, often wondered if she ratted on them?

What were Satan and his demons "doing" up in heaven, before being "cast down" in 1914?
by Dunedain ini was just thinking about how the wts has been spouting off for years that satan and his demons were cast down to the vicinity of the earth in 1914, but really, when you think about it, what was the difference before 1914 or after 1914?.
its not like satan and his demons did not have access to the earth.
satan and his demons always were messing with earth.

Dunedain
It seems like Satan and his demon gang, must have really been "annoying" God and the angels. I mean, there was a WAR, right? What were they doing to them? Hurling insults? Calling then "nerds" up in heaven?Perhaps, (my favorite weasel word) they were 'secretly' depleting the mineral content of 'the paradise of God.’ So, after being booted in 1914 they kept doing what they had been doing in heaven.
Revelation 2:7
Play7 Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations:a To the one who conquersb I will grant to eat of the tree of life,c which is in the paradise of God.’Surprised this graph never got into a Watchtower.source

Yes, 'the New World society' wanted total control of it's members, using Guilt and spiritual pressure.
In the 60's Pop would come home for a weekend after being on the road for 2-3 weeks straight; dodging potholes and State Troopers at the same time on I-80. (never got a ticket though)
We'd come home from the Thursday night meeting, and surprise, he'd be at the kitchen table with 2 sets of log books on the kitchen table.
The first words out of Mum's mouth, 'You didn't get your time in for the month! The anxiety that that caused in me from this stupid religion. Will he live or will he die? I thought, 'This is so Crazy'!

Lawyers release survey on alleged Jehovah's Witness child abuse
by Tahoe ina team of lawyers has released the results of its survey on alleged child abuse by members of the jehovah's witnesses religious group in japan.. the team held a news conference in tokyo on monday.
it provides legal support to former members of the group as well as to children of its members.. the lawyers conducted the survey, following the publishing of the health and welfare ministry guidelines last year about child abuse related to parents' religious beliefs.
a total of 560 people responded.. the survey shows 81 percent of the respondents said they had cards indicating they desired to refuse blood transfusions.. the ministry's guidelines state that parents' refusal of medical treatments for children on religious grounds amounts to neglect --- a form of abuse.. the lawyers said investigations are necessary to find how many people died from refusing blood transfusions, and how many of them were children.. the survey also shows 92 percent of the respondents experienced whipping, 96 percent were banned from school activities, and 93 percent were forced to limit their human relations.. the lawyers said many of the children experienced physical and mental abuse, which afterward led to problems such as loneliness, sense of alienation and a lack of self-esteem.
