I just read an answer from a JW that in the Bible, Pharoah's cook was an innocent man, but he was put to death at a birthday party. I re-read the story, and I'm wondering why he would be considered an 'innocent' man, since Genesis 40:1 says that he was in prison already because he had committed a sin against Pharoah. Couldn't he have met the same fate, even if there was no birthday party, or if it was any other type of party?
Also, in reading the account, doesn't it seem that the "birthday" aspect of the party is totally irrelevant? If it had been an anniversary party with excessive drinking, etc., would Jehovah's Witnesses also take such a dim view of anniversary celebrations?
Just curious.
