Just been reading about why JWs don’t celebrate birthdays – it’s pretty hilarious.

Have a good one.

W. about this very subject once, and they actually gave me a reasonable answer (although I'm sure other J.W.'s might answer differently, and that there are probably other, religious-related reasons why they skip out on holidays). The J.W. that I spoke with said people should give gifts to family and loved ones because they love them, and not just because it happens to be a certain day of the year. She said, "Why wait until Valentine's Day to buy gifts and show your spouse how much you love them, when you should love your spouse all year long?" She also told me that J.W.'s buy gifts for their family and friends all year long, whenever they feel like doing something nice. I still enjoy celebrating holidays, but I can see it from their point of view too.<br /> <br /> Happy Birthday, Dave! I asked a J.
