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
Maybe he thought that way, he wouldn’t be sinning. No celebration, no sin.
So..
Next time, if there is one, you bake the cake, bring it along, and at the appropriate time you loudly announce “It’s our buddy Joe Witness’s birthday. I baked this cake for us so we could celebrate his birthday for him since I know that his faith forbids him to celebrate his birthday... “
And then cut the cake and pass it around. Offer him a piece after everyone else has theirs ‘in case he wants to join the celebration’...
