Jehovah's witnesses don't bow before or salute any image. They don't serve in the armed forces or sing the national anthem. They believe that their government is not of this world. All allegiance are to Jehovah. You can't pray for the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth and promote another Kingdom here. NOTE: My view may be wrong. I'm not a Jehovah's witness but I've met and formed friendship with nice guys who belong to the group. I respect them a lot. |

Lordabas:but are they not contradicting this scripture? 13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. -1peter2:13-14. 3 Likes 1 Share |

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. -Romans 13:1-2 |

Since they claim their government is not of this world, they can as well stop using the currencies, airplanes, vehicles, and other utilities of this world. No mortal can fulfil the demands of the law! 3 Likes |

Ukutsgp:They give their full allegiance,devotion & support to God's kingdom not the land or country in which they live or the govt ruling it. They don't sing songs that extol the praises of the country Jehovahs Witnesses are ambassadors for Jehovah's kingdom & back his rightful rule as the sovereign of the universe. Hence as ambassadors they don't stand and sing someone else praises |

Lordabas:is the national anthem a song of praise? Why r dey acting stupidly.... Arise o compatriots.. Does dat mean that they are villains? Nigeria's call obey.... The lord says we should obey the constituted authorities... To serve our fatherland.. Their youths should be exempted from nysc too..why r dey joining their other religious youths for nysc.... With love and strength and faith.. Thy labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain... To serve with heart and mind.... One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity... Am very sure they think nigeria is not bound in freedom, peace and unity so they should go create their own country... Nonsense 4 Likes |
