Why Jehovah Witness do not celebrate birthdays!

Jehovah’s witnesses do not celebrate birthdays because they believe that such celebrations displease God. Below are their reasons:

1.  Birthday celebrations originated from the belief that on a person’s birthday, “evil spirits and influences have the opportunity to attack the celebrants” and that “the presence of friends and the expression of good wishes help to protect the celebrant.
2. The early Christians did not celebrate birthdays. 
3. The only commemoration that Christians are required to keep involves, not a birth, but a death—that of Jesus. 
4.  The Bible never refers to a servant of God celebrating a birthday.
