Many people of many faiths choose not to celebrate Christmas because they believe that Jesus was not actually born in December, but during one of the warmer months.

The Christian faith chose December for Christmas because it coincided with the pagan festival of Saturnalia (dig around, you'll find almost every religious holiday has roots in paganism).

Why don't the Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate teachers day?

Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays that they believe do not fit true Christianity. These include Christmas, Easter, and even birthdays. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Christ did not command his birth - or any birth - to be celebrated; he just wanted his death to be remembered.


How do you invite jehovas witness to a birthday?

It can't be done. Jehovah's Witnesses don't observe their annual birthdate. You'd be doing it all alone, all by yourself. Many of us don't even know how old we are, unless we figure it out each time; because we don't celebrate birthdays we never know how old we are. (Oh did I say that already?)

When a Jehovah witness dies do their name appear you the newpaper?

In the Obituaries, yes. Sometimes their names are not included, but then there are many people who dont end up in the newspaper for their death. This has nothing to do with Jehovah's Witnesses and their beliefs, so its not really condemned. You most likely wouldn't even know the person that's mentioned is a Jehovah's Witness or not, the Obituaries dont tell that information.
