I saw this on the site " Although we do not
take part in politics, we respect the authority of
the governments under which we live." So your religion allows you to suffer, because of you don't participate in governance, then you will be forced to take whatever is jam down your throat. Imagine if one of you was in Hitlers camp, the death of those innocent people won't be much.
Non alignment is silly, especially when their actions and deeds affects you. So if the police brutality kill one of yours would you sit and say its Jehovah's will?

True, if someone with the fear of God had been on the throne instead of Hitler, the killings probably would not have occurred. however, that a God fearing person choose to contest does not mean he will win, and it may not be realistic that a Godfearing person will rule in every nation, don't you agree?

John 6:15 showed that Jesus rejected to be made a king. Can we say he was silly to reject?

we respect the authorities because God said we should, but if the rulers take a step against God's written word, there actions become condemnable and that being the case, we will obey God's word rather than them. acts 5:29

Yes and the jw org. is condemmed

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

jw remove Spirit of God and put in active force.


Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

This is God talking,
jw remove me and put in the one.

They change what the Bible says to make it fit their false doctrines.
You are right JMANO5 they are condemmed.

they are just two verses out of many.

John wrote concerning the book of revelation:

Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


I imagine that would apply to the other books of the Bible as well.

paulGrundy:


Yes. If you vote, you are patronising the great harlot, Babylon the Great, signifying the religious n political system of this world and Jeeehova will kill you in armaggedon because of that.

absolute nonsense

Sir when you are ready, let me know.

John 6:15 showed that Jesus rejected to be made a king. Can we say he was silly to reject?

Not sure to be made a king was the reason Jesus came to earth.

paulGrundy:
Our kingdom is not of this world, Jeeehovah warned us against becoming part of this world.

First question, so you lot worship under God’s Old Law of Moses, YHWH, and not Jesus Christ? I mean clearly YHWH is the name God Himself attached to His Old Law of Moses, the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan Exodus 3 vs 1 - 6 & Exodus 6 vs 1 - 8 - whereas Jesus Christ is the name of His New agreement/Covenant of peace, a Constitution belonging to the Kingdom of Priests God promised to make of His Israel - Exodus 19 vs 6.

Second, you don't vote because you claim to be of an alien world yet you pay taxes?

djmask:

I have studied the lot of Jehovah's Witnesses on my street (5 Families). And I realise that they shy away from most civic duties especially contesting for public office and voting.
Why?
Is there a bible quotation to back this?
If we all abandon the polity of our nation, won't there be chaos?
I see this as an act of irresponsibility.
Why are they always the odd one out?
Answers pls: bingbagbo OAM4J

I would have loved to but i don't know anyone among those people so i don't want to offend the opponent by being biased since they're all strangers to me.

My thumbprint means i'm vouching for the person but if he fails to deliver then all the curses from those suffering due to bad rulership will affect me for vouching for someone i don't really know!
