Prosecutor Jason Simmons, Judge Lori K. Smith
"Do you in the Sound Doctrine Church celebrate birthdays?"

Answer:
"No."

---

There you have it folks. According to Prosecutors, proof of a crime consists in if one does not celebrate birthdays! A "crediable" witness for Prosecutors in Washington State is if they do not celebrate birthdays, or are deprived of never having blown out the candles on a birthday cake!

It is birthdays or Xmas the Prosecutor way or prison. What a Detective Grant McCall of Enumclaw was for the State of Washington as he uncovered someone who does not celebrate birthdays in relation to an accused crime! By the way Simmons the Prosecutor in your office who is a Jehovah Witness, the one that worked on some kind of house swindle trial and recieved an award, the one Sattersberg tried to backhand warn me about because he, along with gullible prosecutors believed the lie that I stole Winepress should be on guard against prosecution as he is a Jehovah Witness.

Below is a list for King County Country Prosecutors to go after, as there are many different cultures that do not celebrate birthdays. Besides, as we all know, what Washington State needs more of is self-centered individuals who celebrate birthdays.

But first a couple of words on other issues.

Foundational Fact, Quote Me, Leadership

"Every member of Sound Doctrine Church participated equally in projects, goals, and input because they were all children of the Living God. God could and did inspire knowledge in anyone just as easily as He did through the leaders. There was no "head guru" and nothing came back to Timothy Williams as Enumclaw corrupt policeman Grant McCall so slanderously testified. Indeed, all matters at Sound Doctrine Church were a result of complete and total church agreement. Like the first church, Sound Doctrine Church "were one in heart and mind" striving to live lives of unity and love. See Acts 4:32, Philippians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 1:10. Alas, those who committed perjury for King County Prosecutors mocked back what Prosecutor Jason Simmons and gang’s itching ears wanted to hear.

In essence, the leadership had to remain attentive to God’s counsel from any church member. This reflects the essence of Jesus’ humility dwelling in each person.

Forget worldly leadership, this is godly leadership where those God has placed in positions of authority are humbled by the power of God to become the slave of all. The end result is a church of godly love whereby projects, goals and works were a result of church unity and agreement.

Sound Doctrine leadership was the complete opposite of the King County Prosecutor office in Washington State for as Jesus commanded and the power of God work did work until Prosecutor Jason Simmons and Judge Lori K. Smith drove it from the City of Enumclaw. In the prosecutor’s office it is selfish ambition unchecked by laws, and Prosecutor Simmons measured Timothy Williams by his own sins. Whereas Timothy Williams in his heart and spirit had the good fruit from God to, *Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3

As Jesus commanded: Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. Mark 10:43-44, 1 Corinthians 12:18-27m, Mark 10:43-44 –

Indeed, as 1 Corinthians spells out so clearly:

1 Corinthians 12:18-27
But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don’t need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don’t need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

The above is the truth, trouble is, perjury is King Count Prosecutors native language so they are deaf to evidence, facts and lies."

• Timothy Williams.

Prosecutor Simmons Bible Study Time "Birthdays"

Prosecutor Simmons and his associates refuse to prosecute those who lie on their behalf, thereby making dishonesty the preferred method for those connected to Judge Lori K. Smith and the courts.

This lust for lies by King County Prosecutors proves once again that God’s Word is true to the core.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. (Proverbs 29:12)

In short, liars and corrupt court officials have overwhelmed Washington State’s legal system because the testing for truth is powerfully opposed. See Satanist and Birthdays.

Christmas Misrepresentations

The blessing upon blessing of not being self-centered is that the church was of "one mind" and lived in the peace and love of Jesus. There was so much joy at Sound Doctrine Church. Was, until Prosecutor Jason Simmons and Judge Lori K. Smith twisted every evidence and truth into fabricated lies.

---

Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11)

---

We have already addressed the fact that Sound Doctrine Church did not commemorate Christmas in an inappropriate manner; instead, we focused on helping the poor throughout the year. The false narrative claims that "I," as the pastor, alone decided where the donations were allocated. This is an absurd fabrication, as our collective joy in giving was a church-wide celebration, with discussions always centering on supporting a charity or individuals in need, entirely unrelated to Sound Doctrine Church. For more details, please refer to Christmas Poor Boxes.

Prosecutor Simmons Prosecuted non-Birthdays

Yes, you read that correctly. Prosecutor Jason Simmons incarcerated an innocent man because he, along with Judge Lori K. Smith, strongly opposed the Truth.

Prosecutor Jason Simmons found it "strange" that Sound Doctrine Church did not lead self-centered lives, which contributed to the legal and physical abuse we endured.

They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. (1 Peter 4:4-5)

Abstract

This paper elucidates why some religious, cultural, and philosophical subgroups do not celebrate birthdays to understand their way of living. Different religious groups, like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, conservative Muslims, Jews, and the Amish, do not recognize birthdays because these are, for one, considered to be worldly or unspiritual or, two, inappropriate for people of humble and communal nature. At the same time, Native Americans and Romani view collective ceremonies and spiritual experiences as the most important personal achievements. Many forms of Buddhism altogether rule out birthdays as unimportant diversions from the teachings or as a way of inspiring one to detach oneself from worldly materialism and the transient nature of life. Analyzing these traditions, the paper will underscore how the shunning of birthdays relates to more significant lessons of modesty, togetherness, and spirituality. It helps open an appreciation of cultural and religious diversity to proactively elicit acceptance of the various attitudes toward considerable life events and times.

Introduction

Birthday parties are known cultural and personal events in all cultures that celebrate time and particular persons. Instead, some religions, cultures, or societies today and in the past do not endorse this activity. To some other people, birthdays are an obstacle, irrelevant, anti-spiritual, anti-philosophical, or anti-cultural. The rationale for temperance includes religion and history, philosophy, and culture. Learning about such other cultures enriches one’s understanding of those people, and learning their view of birthdays as being anti-birthday, for example, one can see the values of humility, togetherness, and spirituality. Relating to these practices, they focus on the fact that there are no global norms and people are different. The paper aims to explore the following groups: believers of Jehovah’s Witness, some conservative Muslims and Jews, some Native Americans, and minimalists who do not celebrate birthdays. For this reason, this research seeks to expand our understanding of how societies interpret the markers of life based on religious, cultural, and philosophical cultures.

Religious Perspectives

Jehovah’s Witnesses

Jehovah’s Witnesses are the most recognized religion with strict noncompliance with birthday celebrations (Danielsen & Bendixsen, 2020). They base their understanding of the Bible on the fact that they do not recognize birthday celebrations as appropriate. The group references two biblical accounts of birthday celebrations—those of Pharaoh in Genesis 40:20-22 and Herod in Matthew 14:6-10, which the latter abolished in tragedy, including the two executions. They consider this proof that birth celebrations are unsuitable for Christian holidays and celebrations. Also, Jehovah’s Witnesses denounce birthdays, insisting that birth celebrations have pagan origins. Society has a somewhat closer connection with birthdays and, astrology, worship of idols, which they believe goes against all the principles of Christianity. In the Jehovah’s Witnesses rank and file, only what can be considered significant events, like baptisms or the annual commemoration of Jesus Christ’s death, known as the Memorial, are recognized (Danielsen & Bendixsen, 2020). It complements a lack of boasting and a reluctance to engage in activities that would try and keep one’s importance pronounced over the rest of the congregation in worship.

Islam

In Islamic doctrine and culture, birthday celebrations are neither encouraged nor deemed permissible. In Muslim cultures, where the practice of celebrating birthdays exists, they become more problematic than anything else. According to Al Husaeni et al. (2022), there are specific reasons behind the disapproval of birthday celebrations; some fully take Islam as a law and not only a religion, which birthdays do not have a basis in the Quranic interpretations. In Islam, every act has a meaning that Prophet Mohammed taught; thus, Mohammed never participated in birthday celebrations, nor did his family, and it was also not mentioned in the Quran. Birthdays are regarded as ‘bid’ah,’ and since Islamic traditions are strictly against ‘bid’ah,’ birthdays have never been recognized in Islam.

Judaism

Birthday celebrations were mainly not celebrated every day in traditional Jewish tradition. There is no record of birthday celebrations with the patriarchs, the prophets, or early Jews, as mentioned in the Torah. Some Jewish scholars have noted that the only birthday mentioned in the Torah is Pharaoh’s (Genesis 40:20), which is not painted in a perfect light either (Shoham, 2021). The lack of birthday celebration customs in Jewish traditions of prior centuries testifies that it was not valued as a distinctive Jewish rite in the formative centuries. Even among the Orthodox Jews, one may find that birthdays do not get too much attention at all. They consider rites of passage; these include bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs. These teach children their new role of following the set commandments. Religious ceremonies customarily accompany these events and generally involve larger group congregations. However, feelings concerning birthdays have changed over the years. Currently, most individuals of Jewish descent, specifically those from the Reform or Conservative branches, have considered birthdays more cultural celebrations (Redlich, 2020).

Amish and Old Order Mennonites

The Amish and the Old Order Mennonites do not permit birthdays since they deny themselves of anything related to pride and self-assertion, advancing simplicity, humility, and communitarianism (Caughey, 2023). These Anabaptist groups consider features such as birthdays as unessential because they are a deviation from their faith and the task at hand. Among the Old Order Amish, there is a taboo against individually orienting oneself toward appearing conspicuous. Birthday celebrations are considered egotistical things that are ungodly, as they are submissive to their religious beliefs. Traditionally, there is no fancy birthday celebration with balloons, cakes, gifts, or parties; however, we find that an Amish child will have a simple and quiet feast to acknowledge the day. Besides, the Amish see life as a voyage to follow God’s will and serve fellow human beings. Instead of emphasizing individual achievement, these events celebrate collective welfare and thus pay much attention to barnraising, church attendance, and weddings, among other things that motivate group cohesion and spirituality (Caughey, 2023).

Cultural Perspectives

Native American Traditions

Birth celebrations are usually not part of many indigenous cultures within the United States of America. However, their perception of life concentrates more on the aspects of the interrelatedness of life, the physical realm, and the spiritual realm. It is not a never-ending process of the cycle of birth; it is more about communal orientation or concentration on spiritual life markers rather than one’s achievement. Also, obtaining a specific goal is not as important for Native American tribes as the whole tribe takes part in the ceremony; for instance, a ceremony is held in spring, in autumn, when there is a harvest, or in rites of passage. For example, sexual maturity rites, which are entrance rites for women, such as the Navajo Kinaaldá, or a vision quest as a rite of passage for boys as in the Lakota culture (Mellor et al., 2022). Therefore, these events are religious and conducted with the community to strengthen people’s feelings of belonging and remind them of society’s purpose. Not making private celebrations of birthdays also underlines Native Americans’ preoccupation with living in harmony with nature and drawing people together.

Romani (Gypsy) Communities

Extended traditional Romani families do not pay much attention to birthdays because the culture and lifestyle result from people being in the line of work. They prefer social activities, including marriage ceremonies, festivals, and other functions of higher relevance in the announced social structure (Barnes, 2003). The Romani people have been displaced and discriminated against for centuries, so they developed a mainly internalized collective consciousness. Commemorations are generally based on annual celebrations preserving specific cultures rather than individual calendar accomplishments such as birth dates. For instance, Ederlezi is another spring rite in which some Romani participate in a renewed and prosperous community (Barnes, 2003). Moreover, birthdays are usually celebrated secretly, and big celebrations are excluded from these tasks. This is also in tune with the Romani culture of moderation and group harmony, where individual glory and achievement are not much appreciated as the means of staying together as a people against all odds for hundreds of years.

Traditional Chinese Philosophy

In old China, following Confucian civilization and Taoism, birthdays were very low-key events, with great concentrated importance being given to the veneration of the elderly and the family (Owusu-Addo, 2022). Especially birthdays for young people; for the most part, people in the region do not get their birthdays as they do in Western countries. However, important markers of the life cycle were widespread only in the form of specific key points, such as 60 years of life, which marked the critical achievement of understanding at the end of life. According to the Confucian worldview, performing respect for elders and ancestors is more valuable than getting recognition. Hence, commitment to family-centered activities, such as the veneration of ancestors and reunion dinners, is more important than birthdays. Among the rural Chinese people, quite bare was the birthday celebration: the family would cook longevity noodles with the hope of a long life (Owusu-Addo, 2022).

Philosophical Beliefs

Minimalist Philosophies (Buddhism)

Parties are often not celebrated by minimalist and ascetic philosophies because they reject anything materialistic, and life is short. In Buddhism, for instance, life is considered fleeting, and pleasure, such as personal celebrations, hinders attaining nirvana. This is unlike Western cultures, which have a way of celebrating unique developmental phases in life. Buddhism has no conception of linear time or specific dates to commemorate, but rather, it has cyclic time present-oriented (Baffelli & Schröer, 2021). Superstitious beliefs have indicated that birthdays are something that one should not celebrate because they hinder attaining nirvana or at least enable an individual to minimize the manifestation thereof.

Cultural Modesty

Another cultural factor that is of considerable concern is people’s humility and shunning of anything glamorous and materialistic, for instance, at birthday parties. This conception is inimical to some of the parameters that exist in a given culture, such as conceit, which is perceived to be a wrong ambition. Thus, the welfare of people is put in focus, and the main points of interest are more depictive of communal rather than individual happiness. For instance, in some cultures, especially those in the East Asia region that practice Confucianism, self-recognition is less esteemed than giving authority to the elderly and possessing good values that will help boost everyone’s contribution to society (Billioud, 2021). What should be noted is that in these cultures, a birthday is not seen as an appropriate occasion to celebrate or can be viewed as improper. To avoid pride or vanity, each of those cultures values a far greater emphasis on selflessness and cares less about individual success.

Conclusion

The most fundamental forms of birth celebrations are missing in many religions, cultures, and philosophies, and, therefore, there is a ravenous demand for other forms of capital that are stocks of character, such as humility, spirit of togetherness, and spiritual maturity. Jehovah’s Witnesses, some sects of Islam, and a few Jewish sects and Amish groups do not like birthdays as they are considered unspiritual or because they promote individualism. It they promote individualism. It’res That Do Not Celebrate Birthdaysis different in Native American, Romani, and Indigenous African cultures, as passage and ceremonies are collective since life is a passage here. In Buddhism and minimalism, birthdays represent bondage or at least distraction from thoughts of transience and misleading existence. Forced to demonstrate how societies can get through important life events and provide believability to communal harmony and spirituality, as well as observing natural disasters instead of happiness. Studying such views introduces people to how human culture celebrates life events and deepens their respect for cultural perspectives of life transitions.
