The agitation is what we must avoid.
The government of the day is not our own, we are living as strangers in this world, so whatever law you know that binds citizens also affects us.
But when the people are protesting against their government, we are to remain neutral as strangers!

AududuNine11:
Should a believer join any PROTEST, DEMONSTRATE, CARRY PLACARDS?

Here's my view as a believer regarding PROTEST/DEMONSTRATION - peaceful or not peaceful, SARS related or not:

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
1 Corinthians 10:23 KJV

Tochj:
Depending on what you understand by protest.
To me protest is simply to disagree
To say This is evil,it can't stand
That was what Jesus did
That was what he stand for.

AududuNine11:
I think the major problem is finding a functional definition of the word "definition". It seems the word has different meaning to many us commenting here, hence, the failure to actually get the point I'm driving at.

I have never write or implied "evil should not be spoken against of".

If many if you had really read the passage I quoted, and not just reading it like it's a chat message, there would be no need for all these rancour and clamouring.

Froshloaded:


You are in what year?

Hmm..

That stuff you did nko?

Alexaonfleek:
First.

I stopped it when I earned enough from it.
Besides it was tiring.

Minjim:

It's the duty of every believer to protest against anything evil or corrupt.
Even Jesus Christ protested when he entered the synagogue and find people trading.
The actions and inactions of government controls our lifes and even to an extent our relationship with God. As such, the process of choosing and removing any evil agency should be every believers' duty.
Though our home is not here, but it's here we make plans for it

aalangel:
Who coined this stupid question Why are you not asking muslims, the fathers and mothers of Protest...nonsense!!!!

Alexaonfleek:
Like I said,if you see evil or injustice and refuse to speak against it,you are commiting evil too.

Ayinke93:

I've not seen a more delusional group than you Jehovah witnesses. You do not belong to this world, but you live, work and start families in it. Does not belonging to this world save you from police brutality? Will a blood hungry policeman spare you because you don't belong to this world?
Leaving other people to fight your battles while hiding under a neutral umbrella while everyone fights your battle is nothing but cowardice.

Ekaka1:


If you are "not part of the world" and you live in the world with your own set of rules you are either illegal here or you are a rebel because all Authority that be are from God(Rom. 13:1-7).

LawyerEmilord:


What will you do assuming SARS kill your brother or sibling? Will you protest or leave to God since you are not part of this world? Answer asap.

AkinwaleJJ:

You are trying to correlate two different things here.
Jesus protested because of worship not government Sir.
As for the government Jesus said whatever they ask you to do do [Matthew 5:41] whatever they choose to do with their government is none of our business!

MaxInDHouse:


SARS can never kill a JW!

Because we are ever ready to obey whatever order they give us, we are the most law abiding citizens throughout the earth.

Minjim:

This is actually funny

Minjim:


You've missed my point.
The antagonist if the protest is inconsequential , the important issue is the purpose of the protest. Which is against something wrong/evil.
I'm sure you know who Rev Martin Luther King Jnr. is?
Another example is the engagement of Christian communities during the anti-extradition bill protests in Hong Kong. Leaders openly supported the cause, and thousands of young church members joined the peaceful protests.

Also in the Czech Republic, groups of Christians joined hundreds of thousands in Prague to denounce governmental corruption and fraud. In a predominantly atheist country, believers expressed their shared desire for transparent institutions and clean government.

Believers can't just sit down and allow the Govt manipulate the people. Some believers are just building their faith and evil actions of govt can have a major impact on their faith thus distracting them from making heaven.
When we protest against evil, I see it as another form of evangelism because all it takes for evil to succeed us for good men to do nothing.

esmarcq:
Shey Jesus carry Cane flog people for turning his father's house to a market place, so why shouldn't I protest too

Alexaonfleek:
Why not?

My Rev fr in church today encouraged youths to speak against any form of injustice in the society.
He talked about this issue of sars harrasing innocent youths,and was totally in support of the protest.
Infact,it's a moral obligation.

AududuNine11:


Tell me the difference between you and SARS operatives?

Acehart:
Have you read the scriptures to find out what God says?

MuttleyLaff:
Care to share what you've found out God says about should a believer join any protest, demonstrate or carry placards

Acehart:
I will soon. I’m still studying and meditating. When I’m through, I’ll create a thread.
