Jehovah's whiteness's?

Question

do jehovah's whiteness'ss celebrate holidays or weddings? and what else do they celebrate?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses practice strict political and nationalistic neutrality, so they do not celebrate nationalistic holidays such as Independence Day and Memorial Day.

Other holidays derive from false religion, and so are incompatible with pure worship as adulterating interfaith. For example, Easter derives from the pagan god Oestre and celebrates "rebirth" and "fertility" instead of commemorating Christ's Last Supper and death as Jesus commanded:
(Luke 22:1-22) [Jesus] dispatched Peter and John, saying: “Go and get the passover ready for us to eat.” ...14 At length when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them: “I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”

Seemingly innocuous holidays may have only a tangential connection with false worship, such as Mother's Day and Father's Day (although arguably derived from ancestor worship). Understated observance of these is not generally considered interfaith by Jehovah's Witnesses, but it is too easily misunderstood in some cultures.

Since such celebrations are not required in true worship, and can easily become a distraction, so Jehovah's Witnesses focus their attention elsewhere. In particular, they are focussed on the preaching work which *IS* a requirement for Christians:

(Luke 10:1-17) [Jesus] the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.

Answer 2

The #1 way to learn the difference between JWs and other Christians is to survey 100 JWs and 100 from any other religion. Ask the simple question, without saying why, "What day do you observe the Memorial on?" From age 12 on up, others will mostly say a day in May. JWs, age 12 on up, will say the Memorial of the last Supper, which falls on Niacin 14, at sunset of the first full moon after the spring equinox. Or some combination of that. Their answers are always from the point of view of Christ, rather than secular holidays. Celebrating Holidays? What did Christ says to observe or celebrate? Do you do something simply because he didn't say not to?

Since the role of the family is the center of the religion, anniversaries are always celebrated.

Answer 3

Our wedding receptions are great fun, no drunks.

Our anniversaries are celebrated, usually with family and a few close friends, unless it's a 20 year, 25 year, 50 year type, these may be with larger groups.

We celebrate graduations, again usually family and a few friends.

No holidays, be they religious, or political.

According to Jeff Foxworthy, you might be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, if instead of having a party, you have a get together.

You have more food left over than when you started, and your house is also cleaner that when it started.

Answer 4

I just love how people answer like they know the answer....that's crazy....no we don't celebrate b-days or holidays but we do however celebrate weddings...how do you think we get married! Anyways....and have celebrations throughout the year but doesn't always mean they're holidays....

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses are members of an international religion who believe they are the restoration of first-century Christianity.

They do not celebrate holidays or birthdays.

Answer 6

First permit's properly suited the diverse many ridiculous spelling blunders on your question. that's "Jehovah's Witness", not "whiteness". that's "Christianity", not "christainity". that's "opposite", not "contrairy". that's "philosophies" not "philosiphys". additionally, "there" and "their" do not propose the comparable element. They sound alike yet are 2 completely diverse words. You needed to apply "their". you extremely could desire to check out using spell-examine before posting something. Now as to the question itself, in spite of the critiques of others, Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians. each little thing that we've faith and practice is firmly and solidly consistent with and backed up by using the Bible. Apostate Christianity (or fake Christianity) became as quickly as an element to genuine Christianity, yet over the years the fake doctrines of adult men consistent with their very own philosophies or observed philosophies of people around them began to creep in and that they branched off to alter into Christendom right this moment. Their fake doctrines (which at the instant are not from the Bible) incorporate coaching that Jesus is God, that God is a "trinity", that folk burn for eternity in some hellfire, that guy has an immortal soul, and limitless different issues.......all of which the Bible would not practice.

Answer 7

They do not celebrate holidays...but, they do celebrate weddings, however they do not attend wedding ceremonies that are preformed outside the Kingdom Hall. They can, however, attend the reception.

They do not celebrate birthdays either (don't know why the person above me said they do).

Answer 8

Some of them celeberate Thanksgiving. Weddings are done in there church, but only for Those in the religion. They have memorial services for the dead, and some put flowers on graves. Thay do not do Christmas, memorial day, easter, halloween, and several others. Alot of info on the web is false, so be careful what you read. It would be best to ask one personally. My dad is, that is how I know all this.

Answer 9

To simply answer your question, weddings are a big thing with JW's! Don't forget that Jesus’ first miracle was at a wedding.

As for national public holidays, no. The posting by achtung.. explains why.
