i believe you would call this an anniversary! stooge!!

[EvidenceMinistries]

@vielasi- Real mature there. Even the WT says that a birthday is nothing more than the anniversary of one's birth. You are missing the point.

Hi Keith,

It appears you don't know the difference between a birthday celebration and an anniversary celebration.

[letusreason1234]

Lol... Kieth.... Buddy.... Can you show a scripture that Prohibits the prohibiting of Birthdays???

Try looking up Mark 7:13 and tell me if anything about MODERN celebration might "INVALIDATE" Gods word by saying "Oh.... Its all in Good fun"... when Gods word DOES prohibit over eating, drunkeness, Haughtyness, Etc....

U TEll MEE :)

It says NOTHING about their birthday on that cover. It doesn't on the inside, either. This man is making it all up! It says 100 years of Keeping Watch. We still keep track of how long something is. We still know how OLD we are, and other things. This video was silly!

@fatchamp215-Wow. You claim that celebrating a birthday is worship and then you say that an organization gives the opportunity to have everlasting life. What do you call it when you place an organization above Jesus Christ? Here are a few suggestions; Idolatry, blasphemy and anti-Christ.

Good for you. You have courage something I lacked those decades I was part of the Watchtower organization. I don't mean to be hateful. I just try to get people to think. I hope things go well for you.

@torrents4u2c (cont'd)...Sorry this turned out to be longer than I had intended. You are correct in that I am technically an apostate in the eyes of the loyal followers of the earthly organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. So was Jesus Christ. The thing is, I'm not suggesting that any religion is greater than any other, that simply is not the case. Ones own sincere and genuine search for truth, regardless of religious affiliation, is the only way to attain that ultimate, personal, truth.

@torrents4u2c (2of2)...teachings other religions and faiths. The inability to separate being a seeker of truth and belonging to an organization which calls itself "the truth" is where I think most make their mistake.  A real seeker of truth and student of spirituality does not believe what man tells them to, or decide anothers level of spirituality based on their own, or others, interpretation of the bible. Spirituality is very personal, not a license to judge others or be hateful. (con't)

@torrents4u2c As with my previous comment, the same applies here. I am a student of Jehovah's teachings and have been for over 30 years. The only way anyone, including me, can ever find the answers to some of the most sought after questions is by learning about life, beliefs, spiritual teachings, and self. Failure to do these things because one is "loyal" to an earthly organization is the downfall of any spiritual seeker. I not only have investigated those dates, but the dates and...(1of2)

@jfloyd03

The question was kinda dumb but this question is not. What are you doing on this site? The organization says looking at what would be considered apostate material is like looking at porn. I am sure you don't do that so I think you have a curiousity about the organization. You probably have investigated 1874, 1914, 1925, 1975 and satisfied yourself by reasoning the truth gets brighter. All that means is the lies are getting dimmer. Satan is the father of the lie. Exjw 30yrs.
