"Do not go beyond the things written", said the Apostle Paul. Doesn't this apply to Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, and Easter?

1) Where did Paul say this, specifically?

2) Ever read Romans 14? These are days one is allowed to esteem according to Christian Liberty.

This had nothing to do with celebrating Holiday. ‘Do Not Go Beyond the Things Written.’ Later in his letter Paul emphasized the need for modesty on the part of all, just as he himself had displayed modesty, a proper evaluation of himself. The Corinthians had fallen into the trap of boasting in certain men, such as Apollos, and even in Paul himself. Paul corrected them, telling them that they were fleshly, not spiritual, in doing this, and said: “Now, brothers, these things I have transferred so as to apply to myself and Apollos for your good, that in our case you may learn the rule: ‘Do not go beyond the things that are written [that is, do not go beyond the limits that the Scriptures set for humans in their attitude toward one another and toward themselves],’ in order that you may not be puffed up individually in favor of the one against the other.

That's correct there is none! But do not go beyond the things written! Don't prohibit people from having a festival .People want to party they will find any excuse let them at least party in a way that doesn't invite doing stupid crap.

St. Paul was an idiot and a hideous reprobate.

It might say that in your NWT, but that's not a real Bible anyway.

Not necessarily.

The principal "Do not go beyond the things written" is found at 1 Corinthians 4:6, 7.

It was not talking about celebrating holidays, but if there is nothing written about the obligation to celebrate a certain day it could apply.

If the origin of a popular celebration is pagan, these things, too, should be taken into consideration before celebrating them.

The Encyclopædia Britannica comments: “There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic Fathers. The sanctity of special times was an idea absent from the minds of the first Christians.”—(1910), Vol. VIII, p. 828.

The Catholic Encyclopedia tells us: “A great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring. . . . The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility.”—(1913), Vol. V, p. 227.

In the book The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop, we read: “What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, . . . as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar. . . . Such is the history of Easter. The popular observances that still attend the period of its celebration amply confirm the testimony of history as to its Babylonian character. The hot cross buns of Good Friday, and the dyed eggs of Pasch or Easter Sunday, figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do now.”—(New York, 1943), pp. 103, 107, 108; compare Jeremiah 7:18.

Uhh... Where did Paul say that?

I read otherwise, several places, especially the first, which directly contradicts your assertion:

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." 2 Thes 2:15

"Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." Phil 4:9 KJV

He said to avoid anyone who did not keep "the tradition which he received of us." 2 Thes 3:6

That is, Paul did not say -- nor would he have -- "believe only what I have written". His letters were *not* a doctrinal compendium, but were pastoral, correcting where things had gone wrong.

Forgive me.

Yes it does, especially since they have pagan origins. The only occurrence we were told to observe is the memorial of Christ he commanded us to, observed at sunset on the day corresponding to Nisan 14.

Shouldn't you include Christmas as well then? There is no mention of celebrating his birth every year. Then again I'd prefer to know what verse you are quoting to see a more specific context. I also see nothing wrong with celebrating the death and resurrection in that the real basis of the religion is in the death and resurrection(Christmas is worse of a celebration to be honest, although the birth was important without the death and resurrection his birth would have been just another birth).
