“However, there is no indication in the Scriptures
that faithful worshipers of Jehovah ever indulged in
the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.”
The Watchtower, July 15, 1980, p. 31
“So even though the Bible does not contain a

The Watchtower, September 1, 1992, p. 31
“Given the known origin of celebrating birthdays,
and more important, the unfavorable light in which
they are presented in the Bible, Jehovah’s
Witnesses have ample reason to abstain from the
practice.”
