so i went to a christmas evening candlelight service tonight and it hit me.
i was primarily doing christmas since leaving the jw for the children.
lots of people do it for family without really thinking of the relevance.
I'm wondering if they don't make much ( if anything) of the circumstances of Jesus's birth because they point to the Holy Spirit being His Father . So that coupled with the first 14 verses of John's Gospel kind of support Trinitarian teaching .
Off course it's also that not celebrating Christmas keeps JWs separate from other denominations.
So maybe l am way off in my speculation.

Do JWs talk about Jesus's birth at all ? I know that they don't celebrate but are the events of the Nativity taught by JWs ? Or is Jesus's birth just ignored ?

Journeyman , may l ask how you think 'churchgoers ( and their clergy ) ' miss out on what the Bible says about Jesus's life now as an enthroned King ?

yes, persecution for religious beliefs is not exclusive to the watchtower organization.
how can that be, persecution is supposed to proof of god's favor on them, haha.https://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=2948 .
Christians of many denominations are being persecuted for their faith in many different countries.

a post from another exjw site, shows how throughout the years, in a regular, systematic fashion, the watchtower has influence thoroughly; an ideological point of view, in the minds of it’s members by using bible scriptures and examples, to get the members to do the unthinkable, even if it clashes with modern ethics.
february 2016 watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled .
"learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".
That's awful .
