Justaguy,
I have been trying to help a friend of mine lately and found an interesting quick line of questioning that may help your wife. Actually, the post where I found this was titled "How Can I help my wife".Ask her the
*****following*******
*******As Jehovah Witnessess are they supposed to be footstep followers of Jesus?*******
---------hopefully her answer would be Yes-----
********then ask her on what basis did Jesus reject the religion of his time?***********
--------The answer is (from the watchtower) that they were rejected because they taught the traditions of men as the word of God.-------
*********Ask her what is a tradition of men?******
-------According to the
Aid Book, is that a tradition of man is something taught by man NOT EXPLICITY TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE.-----------
********So if Jesus rejected false religion that did this, why shouldn't she?***********
Ask her where in the bible does it EXPLICITALY SAY NOT TO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS?
The correct answer of course is no where.
