Jehovah's Witnesses are like anyone else. We enjoy giving and receiving gifts.
With that in mind, JW's do not accept or give gifts that are associated with religious or nationalistic holidays, nor do we accept or give birthday gifts.
Gifts for wedding, maternity, house warming, or gifts just for the sake of giving are no problem.

∙ 11y agoYes we can give and receive presents, but since we do not celebrate holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving and birthdays, we don't give gifts for those reasons. If someone offers us a gift related to these events the loving thing would be to thank the giftgiver for the thought but decline. But we do celebrate weddings, anniversaries and baby showers so gifts at those times are appreciated. But of course the best reason to give or receive a gift is :just because there doesn't have to be a reason.

This is funny, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and am happy to answer this questions. Yes you do give gifts. We don't celebrate most holidays or secular observances, but marriage was instituted by God himself with the first human couple and its something that we think is very special. Our weddings our very happy occasions. Enjoy! I am also a Jehovah's Witness and wanted to add that since we celebrate few occasions often there is MANY gifts at weddings!

Organizing your wedding and you are marrying into a Jehovah Witness family and you are not sure of all the rules yet but would like to know if you are allowed to have toasts on your wedding reception?
== == * Since you are marrying the Groom you are also marrying into his family and his parents are going to be your mother and father-in-law. It would be nice if you sat down and talked over the wedding plans with you future mother-in-law with your future husband there as well. This way you will be sure not to offend your fiance's family and relatives. * Jehovah Witness' do not allow toasts, throwing of rice, or other superstitions. They also require the wedding to take place in a Kingdom Hall (A Jehovah Witness Church). I would check with your grooms family to see if these are rules that they personally follow, most Jehovah Witness' are strict about it, though. * It does NOT have to be at a Kingdom Hall. Jehovah Witness' may have it in the Kindom Hall, but often they will select other locations. * The wedding reception does have dancing, gifts are allowed, but jewelry is frowned upon (more useful gifts such as kitchen utensils, bedding, furnishings) but not sexually explicit dancing and no, Jehovah Witness' do not need to be married in a Kingdom Hall.
My brother will not accept any gifts but cannot give reasons why. What are some psychological reasons to refuse gifts?
Your brother may have a fear of indebtedness or feeling like he owes others, which can create anxiety around accepting gifts. He may also struggle with feelings of low self-worth or guilt, making it hard for him to feel deserving of receiving gifts. Additionally, past negative experiences or trauma related to receiving gifts could be influencing his behavior.
