The WBTS loves to use "principles" when they can't find Biblical proof for their doctrine. The usual birthday arguement went something like this, "Well because bad things happened at these birthdays, birthdays must be bad."OK, if you want to use that as an arguement then any 2 Bible events that had a bad outcome must also be bad. ( Principles have to be used consistently or they're useless.) So Lot's kids had a large dinner party & were all KILLED. Jesus had a large dinner party (Last Supper) & he was CRUCIFIED. Consequently, we must conclude that LARGE DINNER PARTIES are the work of the devil. Have fun with this, as there are many examples in the Bible.

Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?
by FaithfulBrother ini know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.
and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).
but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

Oh & when we do screw up, expect a warm, heartfelt, public apology to show the depth of our love for the R&F. (I mean should we ever screw up to the point of people losing their lives over decisions we later changed but as we're guided by Holy Spirit, it isn't really our fault & if you have the balls to contradict us we'll kick your ass out...... again.)

Don't forget the part where we're only human & make mistakes but at the same time can make life or death decisions for you because we're Jah's only true channel of communication. We're not sure who's responsible when we screw up, so don't ask...... or we'll kick your ass out.

I was going to get her a bike. The consensus of the other married men in the office was that I would be treading on thin ice with a present like that. As it's also my anniversary, I thought overkill would be a better avenue to take. Bought her a card that plays her favorite tune from our wedding, roses, chocolates, dinner and a cruise to the Caribbean. Seemed to work pretty well. I do like the lobster angle though.

Which generation do you belong to ?
by edmond dantes inask a witness which generation do you belong to and see if they really know how to answer.. i have decided that every time i hear a true definition of the meaning of a generation i will post it here just to reinforce the true meaning just in case a stray jw happens to look in on here.. yesterday evening i was watching an antiques programme on the television and under discussion was a very well made baby high chair from about the nineteen thirties and the approximate date of manufacture and the length of time it had been in the family.
the expert then went on to confim how old it was and in doing so said that considering who first purchased the chair and the length of a generation that it was from the thirties and went on to say that we consider a generation to be about 25 years.. that is a truer definition of a generation than a watchtower definition.. .

I can't believe they can blow off Jesus' understanding of a generation. In the account at Matthew 24 the "generation" that Jesus described was 37 years long. He predicted the fall of Jerusalem in 33 CE. If fell in 70 CE, long enough for those who heard the warning to benefit from it. Must be he didn't have the new light.

For those of us who remember field service, it typically was a car full of witnesses avoiding any contact with people. Several of us had the same call on one elderly lady because she always invited us in. Even as an elder I knew this was totally a waste of time. No one I ever called on intially ever could have come away with an impression that this was a dire warning & I just condemned them to death.
