Not really. I'm actually surprised that he took the cake, usually they tell you loudly that they don't celebrate that because they are JW's. And if you send them a card they will send it back to you with a note telling you all about their 'faith'. Someone should have 'reported' his failing to his Hall.. ;-)
And no Christmas gifts. Or Easter celebration, no pledging allegiance to the flag, no blood transfusions (because that's 'eating' blood), no Resurrection (Jesus body dissolved into gasses and the Disciples who all went to their martyrs death proclaiming that they had seen the Risen Lord, were merely seeing an apparition), no Heaven (except for 144,000 of their elite - everyone else who is less worthy gets a paradise Earth.) Works based salvation, such as whatever they offer is. And to support all of their aberrations they use their own translation of the Bible, altering verses that would disprove their mantra in a manner that no qualified scholar of Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic would agree with..
And Jesus returned in 1878. Or 1914. Or 1925. Or 1935. Or 1974. Or..
I think he was JW in name only. He as big into gambling and had been married numerous times. Never mentioned JW during our poker club get togethers.
I’m just mad he didn’t cut the cake and share it as it was a really good cake and I wanted a piece LOL
And so they don’t care if they turn into abrasive, puffed up a-holes because hey, there is no real skin in the game. What’s this “love of God” stuff? Life is for patting each other on the back.
It’s a religion being a religion.
