Accounts of birthday celebrations in the Bible are Pharoah & Harod and since they were wicked-- birthdays are bad! Also, there is a Bible verse that talks about how we should only honor God. Birthdays are bad because they honor people when all honor should only go to God. Isn't that just stupid? Paul O [EMAIL PROTECTED] The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Re: [ZION] Witnessing Excommunications by Churches
Stacy, I've had the unfortunate opportunity to sit in on several church disciplianry courts that ended in excommunication. The only persons present are the Bishopric, a clerk, and the member having disciplinary action taken against them. On occasion, a witness may be brought in. They are not "public" and the proceedings are private as well. The outcome is know by those present, the Stake Presidency, and the Church. Well, the Lord know too. Not something pretty or nice. All were very sad occasions that I was in attendance at. All were very strongly attended by the Spirit.

[ZION] Regarding Celebrations of Birthdays
Hi. This is something I wasn't taught by the missionaries. I guess they didn't feel it was necessary to mention it. I'm curious why the Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays but we feel it is okay. Apparently they claim they have a Biblical reason not to do so. Yet we celebrate them. I noticed this because the latest news always says when President Hinckley or Thomas S. Monson, etc., celebrate their birthdays. I'm really curious about justifications or the lack of for celebrations of birthdays.
