Keep doing this in remembrance of me

why is it ok to celebrate a wedding anniversary but not a birthday?

i can understand christmas, easter, halloween and valentines day but birthdays, thanksgiving, mother's day and father's day don't have religious or murderous origins.

also, at the last supper, jesus told his disciples to "keep doing this in remembrance of me".

my other half's sister is dating a wb, (i'm a wg), she wants to know how to deal with all of us strange worldly people (she's says this with a humph).

her boyfriend, is being very male, problem is my darling jw half agreed (my turn to humph and sulk, go to the fridge and get a beer for me only).. they haven't quite made the step to look here themselves, so they asked me to look for them, i told them they are wusses .

Home from Circuit Assembly
by RichieRich in
1. jw
2. friends
as some of you knew, my circuit assembly was this weekend (dec 24 and 25).

the theme was "clothe yourselves with the new personality".

i guess the society has to reinforce the idea of humility, because apparently, you can't mislead haughty people.. from the sound of the accounts report, people are voting with their wallets.. nothing particularly egregrious was said.. luckily my mother had a fever this morning, so we got to leave at lunch.

Is the WTS guilty of child abuse?
by cheezy in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i have worked in the field of investigating and treating child abuse.

one of the definitions of child abuse (besides the ovious - physical and sexual) is neglect.

does the wts encourage parents to neglect the physcial and emotional well-being of their children by their policies (printed and implied) against higher education, vaccination, holidays, mandatory field service, early baptism that carries severe consequences, etc.
