Jehovah’s Witnesses—Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom, “Chapter 14: “They Are No Part of the World””

1993 · pp.199-201 · main text p. 199; box ‘Practices That Have Been Abandoned’, pp. 200-201 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“This holiday was celebrated yearly even by members of the Watch Tower Society’s headquarters staff at the Bethel Home in Brooklyn, New York. … For years, Bible Students wore a cross and crown as a badge of identification, and this symbol was on the front cover of the “Watch Tower” from 1891 to 1931. … In their “Daily Manna” book, Bible Students kept a list of birthdays.”

The chapter says the headquarters staff and the British and Swiss branch staffs decided to stop sharing in Christmas festivities, ‘so no Christmas celebration was held there after 1926’. A box headed ‘Practices That Have Been Abandoned’ carries the cross-and-crown and birthday statements, together with a photograph captioned as the last Brooklyn Bethel Christmas celebration, in 1926.

Nota de confianza. Chapter opened on the Watchtower Online Library on 19 September 2026. The Christmas sentence follows the page 199 marker; the box is labelled in the text itself as ‘[Box/Pictures on page 200, 201]’. The three quoted sentences come from those two places and are separated by ellipses.

Notes. The same box also records the abandonment of the Great Pyramid teaching, which the site covers separately.

God’s Kingdom Rules!, “Chapter 10: The King Refines His People Spiritually”

2014 · pp.102-105 · pars. 8-9, 12-13; boxes on pp. 102 and 105 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Yet, the Bible Students did not at the time clearly see the need to stop celebrating Christmas. It continued to be celebrated even by members of the Brooklyn Bethel family. … For many years, the Bible Students viewed the cross as an acceptable symbol of Christianity. … they proudly wore a cross-and-crown pin as an identifying badge. … Beginning in 1891, a cross-and-crown symbol appeared on the cover of the Watch Tower.”

The chapter dates the Christmas change to the years after 1926, quotes a letter of 14 November 1927 from Frederick W. Franz saying ‘The Bethel family has voted not to have Christmas anymore’, and lists the steps by which the cross was dropped: the 1928 Detroit assembly (‘not only unnecessary but also objectionable’), Preparation (1933) p. 239, The Golden Age of 28 February 1934 p. 336, and The Golden Age of 4 November 1936 p. 72 together with Riches (1936) p. 27 for the teaching that Jesus died on a stake. A separate box gives the earliest references against Easter (1928), Valentine’s Day (1929), birthdays (1936) and New Year’s Day (1946).

Nota de confianza. Chapter opened on the Watchtower Online Library and re-opened for audit on 19 September 2026 and read in full. The Christmas sentences follow the page 102 marker; the cross sentences are in paragraph 12, which straddles the page 104 marker, so the first of them is on page 103 and the rest on page 104. The box on other holidays is headed ‘Exposing Other Holidays and Celebrations’ and follows the page 105 marker. Of the publications the chapter cites, only The Golden Age of 4 November 1936 was separately opened.

Notes. The box on other holidays gives the earliest published objection, not the date on which Bible Students stopped observing each one.
