    Can anyone remember the article in the 1968 AWAKE! titled, "Neuralyzers: A Loving Provision From Jehovah"?

    Of course you can't!

    (A neuralyzer is a fictional gizmo from the movie "Men in Black" that erases memories.)

    Since there is no such thing as a Watchtower prediction or promise...

    The only problem with the doctrines are in the past, during the Rutherford, Knorr and Franz days, they wanted to be better and more righteous than everyone else. That is why they made no birthdays into a religious issue. That is why they were pharisaical on many issues without any direct Bible prohibitions such as no-blood. They say we go out in the door to door work because that is what Jesus did. Well, Jesus had no other alternative.

    No birthdays.

    No holidays.

    No Mothers Day. No Fathers Day.

    This has worked for the Borg for decades. It continues to work.

    Not only for the $$$ of income that would be lost.

    But I think most of importance,,, is the attention these holidays shift away from the Borg.

    This way they can use the escape,,, weasel,, wimp out excuse and say that you thank mothers & fathers everyday & not just once per year.

    You can get presents throughout the year,,, not just Xmas & birthdays.

    You can be thankful for everyday & not just Thanksgiving.

    Typical wimpy out clause.

    Perfect business model,,, it works & will continue to work.

    That way JWs can cheap out from treating family/ friends

    Beth Sarim:

    Couldn't the same logic be applied to their once-a-year memorial? Why show of for a once-a-year event when you can celebrate Christ's death everyday if you so choose?
