they dont miss out. they just exchange presents at different times of the year and more often. i actually know some jehovah witnesses who has kids, they are very nice people. i asked why they dont do xmas and they said because its pagan. so i said forget that just do the presents instead as otherwise the kids miss out. they explained they dont do the presents on xmas day due to what it represents. i was interested in this as i never knew why they didnt do it. apparently jesus wasnt born on xmas day so to celebrate his birth on the wrong day is wrong. instead jehovahs witnesses especially those who have kids have several gift days throughout the year so they dont miss out. trust me, those jehovahs witness kids get more presents than normal kids get at xmas and birthdays. and they get them all throughout the year, not just 1 day as xmas. i wish i was a jehovahs witness kid lol. plus the ones i know, their kids arnt spoilt either. they are always happy and well behaved compared to my kids and other normal kids! fair shout to them.
Think I'd rather have my life saved by a blood transfusion than lots of presents throughout the year.
I know a Jehovah's Witness from school actually, well her mum was. Fit as **** though. Shame she was a bit of a bitch...
each to there own i suppose they only piss me off when they come pounding on your door preaching about there religion if they wanna believe in that then leave them to it ,il give them there dues were earned when they all look after there own if ones in financial difficulties etc
Why do JWs not celebrate birthdays when its not a religious thing? some religions are just dam crazy, like them RCs
RC - Roman Catholics? I thought they didn't celebrate events because they're too busy ****ing children.
