It is an absolutely absurd idea that God would never want His children to enjoy themselves or celebrate life in any way as long as they do so out of agape love for God and everyone involved. The prison of fear and condemnation that JW's promote is anti-Christ and anti-God (Who IS love).

Jesus, Himself, taught me first when I met Him in deep meditation. I confirmed His identity by finding His descriptions of the Holy Spirit in the Sermon on the Mount, 1 Cor 13, and Galatians 5 and the prophecies about Him in Isaiah. He abides with us always as the Comforter sent in His name to guide us to the Truth God has "written in our hearts." Why do you follow the false "precepts and doctrines of men" promulgated by the JW's and ignore what is in your heart?

Really?
What was your 'Holy Ghost' doing in Job's NOSE?

Job 27:3- All the while my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God is
in my nostrils...

Was the imaginary Almighty Ghost-God in Job's NOSTRILS????
Or was it the pure (holy) power (spirit) of God keeping him alive &
breathing that Job was referring to?

Instead of walking around with your nose up in the air.

Take some time and realize, you shouldn't be posting in red.

Since Jeremiah 17:9 lets us know that one's heart is treacherous, then that is a reason to ignore one's heart.
It as if one's imperfect heart is a traitor within. The imperfect heart prompting a person to do something and after he does it the imperfect heart gives all the reasons why he should Not have done what he did in the first place.
I find this about the heart to be in harmony with Jesus' words as recorded at Matthew 15:19 and at Mark 7:20.

I find at John 7:14-18 where Jesus is talking to the Jews that he tells them his teaching doctrine is Not his.
That is also in harmony with John 5:19 and John 12:50 B.

They are inspired but the inspirations have been misused by prophets, priests and scribes

Jeremiah 5:31

The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it?

Ezekiel 22:26

"Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

Yes, yes, yes I can walk on water.
However, first it has to be frozen solid.
