Jehovah's Witnesses have very few 'hard-fast' rules. If you were to see a list of our "do's and don'ts" it would read similar to what is known as the 10 commandments, such as 'don't steal,' don't commit adultry,' etc. Most of the ideals that guide a typical JW are based on what we call "principles." Bible knwledge on certain matters guides what a JW will decide for themselves what they will do under certain conditions. On the matter of fireworks, this could be a situation where a JW will weigh matters to make a decision. There is nothing wrong with fireworks in themselves. In fact, a JW may even purchase fireworks to set them off on their own, provided that it is legal in the area in which they are. My wife and I are both Jehovah's Witnesses. She loves fireworks, I couldn't care less about them. It's a matter of preference. Most fireworks displays are done in celebration of a holiday that we do not celebrate, such as Fourth of July or New Years. If the JW in question feels that to observe the fireworks show is tantamount to engaging in the celebration, then he will likely make a decision based on his conscience not to see the fireworks show. However, if he feels that to do so would not be taking part in the celebration, then he may choose therwise. It boils down to his or her conscience or that of the parent if it is a Jehovah's Witness child.

How you get the fireworks to start in Harvest Moon DS Cute?

If you mean during the Fireworks Festival, go to the Beach between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Talk to a bachelor that has Green Heart or higher. He will invite you to watch the fireworks with him. If you say yes they will automatically start. If no bachelor has a Green Heart for your character speak with everyone there and then the fireworks will start. You will watch them with Cassey and Patrick.
