New York - Read All About It!

Omg. This is very horrible and very very sad! Poor brothers! It made me feel bad the sister that was crying because she did not want the vaccine. This is terrible and awful and outrageous! Jesus! :/ :'( horrible!
 
Proverbs 23v25 'Your father and your mother will rejoice, And she who gave birth to you will be joyful'; Only by birth? I'm still grateful for the day they where born, although I don't celebrate it with good wishes and a cake ;) that said, I do understand the sentiments and where it's coming from
I remember we were always told too that birthday celebrations cause too much attention to be drawn to ourselves. But the GB sure like to celebrate themselves on their many broadcasts on jw dot org. which has been part of the reason all this admiration is coming from the rank and file witnesses.
 
Honestly, I really don't think there's anything wrong with that. In fact I don't think there's really anything wrong with observing a birthday, the problem is the way's it's observed/celebrated which is steeped in paganism.
The Bible seems to agree with you:

Job 1:4
“And [Job’s] sons went and held a banquet at the house of each one on his own day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them.”

I personally don't see any difference from celebrating an anniversary. That being said, I don't celebrate my birthday...it's too depressing. :)
