Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate birthdays but will celebrate baby showers?
In short, because they are consumed with not participating in anything that may have originated from any ancient pagan practices. What's interesting to note is the history of the baby shower. The concept of a baby shower dates back to the Renaissance when childbirth was an almost mystical event. Mothers-to-be would often be surrounded with references to the Annunciation to encourage and celebrate her. Unpublished inventories, diaries, and letters indicate that pregnancy and birth were celebrated with a wide range of birth objects such as wooden trays, bowls, and majolica wares, painting, sculptures, clothing, linens, and food. Painted childbirth trays, in particular, were popular items and were inscribed with wishes for good health and successful childbirth. This, although it may not be an ancient practice, is just as pagan if not more so than the pagan origin of the birthday. For Jehovah Witnesses to celebrate one but not the other due to it's pagan origins is just hypocritical at best. --------------------------- Even shorter, because the Governing Body haven't written a condemnation of baby showers but have with birthdays. If the Governing Body wrote that ''upon prayerful consideration, birthdays are now allowed and baby showers are not,'' then Witnesses around the world would start celebrating birthdays and not condone baby showers.
