Comments on: Birthday Celebrations? http://jehovahswitnessrevealed.com/2006/birthday-celebrations What the Watchtower teaches them and why it's a lie..

I am now "dead" to her as she wrote in a letter to me and according to her I'm "dead" to my children as well. I've been disfellowshipped without ever being a member of the organization. I'm reading anything and everything I can in order to save my children and possibly (not probably) my wife. I've never been in so much pain but it pales in comparison to what Jesus went through. I can only say that this ordeal has brought me closer to him, the father, and the holy spirit.

The idea yes, but not the action. Jehovah’s Witness are really no different than us from a human stand point. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God, what you have to remember is that the Jehovah’s Witness follow what the Watchtower says or what the Watchtower tells them the Bible says. They are cut off from the actual Word of God by the Watchtower by having their own bible. So we always try and lead them to the truth by stating the truth from the Word and letting it peirce the heart.

He created us: our birthday, to live on His created world. We did not do anything toward the birthday: He did all the work. It is only just and fair that we take time to thank and praise him for creating us I believe that we should treat every given day from our Lord as a birthdaY. I do. I praise the Lord EVERY DAY I wake up in the morning, every morning and thank Him When you have a Society that keeps private notes on their Members, especially regarding their lifestyle, and then get disfellowshiped or disciplined by them, well, looking back at the history books, I thought that this kind of 'fellowship' was only active during Hitler's war on the Jews in 1943 with the same outcome: 'disciplined', all 6 million of them! John the Baptist 'lost his head', the Jews were placed into Gas Chambers!! Maybe not due to the issue concerning Birthdays, but JUST BECAUSE THE NAZI'S WERE DIFFERENT to the Jews, not unlike the JEHOVAH WITNESS being different to us!! I believe we should celebrate birthdays. It is the beginning of His creation physically enjoying the time given to us to enjoy what He has done for us whilst we are on this earth before we are taken to Heaven at a later date KENNETH Pedward
