Now you're asking intelligent question! smiley

Assuming all the people in Ukraine are JWs nobody will raise an objection as Vladimir Putin chooses to extend his domain to that part, we will leave the place for him in peace so neither Russians or Ukrainians will have to die.
Such will not only be cowardly and irresponsible but also evil to the extent that it encourages tyranny and aggression.
It is also a big betrayal of your descendants.

But then you're avoiding the real cause of the trouble: NATO
Ukraine cut away from Russia decades ago so they were formerly Russians, NATO wants Ukraine to join their group and that will expose Russia to danger as the enemies of Russia have been seeking a way to weaken their defense system.
So both Ukraine and Russia have something to protect but then as Jehovah's Witnesses we are neither in support of Vladimir Putin or Volodymyr Zelenskyy, anybody can rule after all we don't trust any politician. smiley
All this is political analysis which has nothing to do with the subject - pacifism.

What you failed woefully to grasp is the fact that assassins and armed robbers are not recognized as a group under the authority of any elected leader so constitutionally they are not authorized in any way and that's why even you can fight back because if they are caught the society in which you live will subject them to the rules binding on citizens and they will be severely dealt with according to the laws.

But in the case of any army under the control of a constitutionally elected leader is not to be viewed as criminals because they're following the orders from the President elect under a democratic rule.
So even when they are caught no country will support you to kill them rather the worst you can do is jail them because they were acting in line with the orders from an elected leader under DEMOCRATIC rule which is globally accepted.

Do you now see the difference? smiley
You deliberately mentioned Putin attacking just for vain glory, why did you go silent on Ukraine defending, is that for vain glory too? Or would you recommend that Ukraine, following JW teaching, should simply lay down all arms and permit Russia to have their violent way?

What is patriotic about stupidly picking up weapons in support of some useless miscreants who are just power drunk?
Vladimir Putin banned Jehovah's Witnesses in his country five years ago because this group will never raise weapons in support of wars, and today he's sending humans like you to go and kill people in another country but because he knew it could escalate into something unpredictable he sent his own family away to a safe place so that after zombies who are ready to die for him (PATRIOTIC) may be killed for his own glory.
So what about to his own family?
Shouldn't they also be PATRIOTIC citizens of Russia?
Who is fooling who?

Well your grammar doesn't change the fact that we humans can make the world a better place by shunning violence or picking up weapons in support of WARS!

You and your fellow atheists are here deliberating on wiping out the entire human race and you guys are sure that some good for nothing guys can insanely do it but now that i raised the idea of reasoning together to eradicate war, all you can think of is artificial peace that will soon end within few decades after many have died instead of using our brains intelligently to end it once and for all times.

Well that's the brain behind FAITH even though you guys hate hearing about it despite the fact that you can find any solution to social conflicts.

May you have PEACE! smiley
You deliberately ignore the fact that I specifically mentioned defensive action: defending your country and people when attacked by an aggressor. Abi there is something wrong with that? Am I also to assume that if assassins and armed robbers attack your family, under JW doctrine, it is wrong to defend them?

You deliberately mentioned Putin attacking just for vain glory, why did you go silent on Ukraine defending, is that for vain glory too? Or would you recommend that Ukraine, following JW teaching, should simply lay down all arms and permit Russia to have their violent way?

And when others defend the space with their lives, you will come afterwards and happily use the peace to carry on disturbing people's front doors with your gibberish right?

That's the more reason why you need to ask us questions politely like a gentleman and intellectual instead of concluding without asking! smiley

There's no reason to DEFEND any country but the case is more complicated than the way people like you view things.
Before an army could invade your country a ruler must have issued the order, and mind you the only reason for that is to expand his domain. So the question you're to ask yourself before picking up weapons in support of either side is:

What do i stand to benefit if A or B becomes the one ruling my territory?

Remember that for anyone to have become a commander in chief or president of any country, people under him must be loyal to him. Therefore he/she is nice to an extent to those under his/her domain that's why they're obedient to him/her. So what do i stand to gain or loose if A or B becomes the one ruling my territory? smiley


I've served as a soldier for years and for your information the aim of any army is not to kill people but to make opposers surrender to the bid of our commander. It's against our rule to aim at people who have surrendered to our bid, that's why in most cases the word "harmless civilians" often suffice during wars.

Whether A becomes the ruler or B none can be fully trusted to improve the lives of citizens, all they're after is just the position.
So Jehovah's Witnesses taught me that instead of picking up weapons in support of A or B why not let them resolve the issue between themselves? If people the world over reason like Jehovah's Witnesses there will be no more wars.

We are all the same as in one human race, let us reason like intelligent beings not ants.

Thank you! smiley
This is benumbingly shallow and escapist, aside from the fact that it doesnt address the question of enjoying the peace secured with the blood of brave compatriots.

he doesn't care if you use it or not.
Not using it is not the same thing as undoing your use of it.

What Jehovah's Witnesses taught me is that it's better not to build weapons at all because we can divert such resources into the production of food and information materials that will benefit the entire human race! Isaiah 2:2-4 smiley
This is an idealistic notion that would work in an ideal world, and certainly not in a world where there is the imperative of self-defense.
And what is hypocritical about the JW position on war is that sometimes when your country and people are attacked, you must defend your country: JWs will refuse to take part in such defensive action but will enjoy the fruits of peace when the country is successfully defended. That is the worst kind of cowardice and hypocrisy combined.

I don't know how many times I can thank you for being candid. Jonathan was a disaster. In terms of corruption it was free for all. Every level of public officer, from minister to clerk were cashing out big time. Money was flowing like the Victoria falls. If Nigeria had continue on that path, we would have been completely bankrupt in 4 years.
I think both you and dplordx would be well advised to wait till this government has left office to properly assess its level of kwarapshin. I verily believe you will both be gobsmacked. I wouldn't.

Secondly, I dont know if we would have been bankrupt after four more years of Jonathan, but I know that we certainly are already bankrupt under PMB, who has borrowed us into death, in a way no other government could even contemplate.

As a soldier you're enrolled in the army to OBEY THE LAST ORDER, trying to reason out of the box is tantamount to sabotage, the orders issued by your superior must be carried out, that's why you will be ask this question: [b]"will you shoot your mom if the order comes from the army?" Your response to this question determines whether you'll get the job or not!

So what you just typed shows you're against the opinion that a nation should have an army! smiley
If you were not so deeply cooked within the dogma of Jehovah's witnesses (which includes the sort of absolute pacifism which is at once hypocritical and irresponsible) - you would have seen that CAPSLOCKED was responding to a scenario painted by the OP in which there is no order given at all.

I agree to with you that evil is not all humans do, I myself is a philantrophist, I sometimes go out of my way to help others, and it usually doesn't end well.
Lol @ not ending well.

Another thing is that negativity is more powerful than positivity, hate is more powerful than love, anger more powerful than joy, pain more powerful than pleasure. If you do 5 good things and 5 evil things, you are more of evil.
This is a very interesting thought which I had not really considered before. I think I can agree with the idea that the effects of negativity spread and escalate more rapidly and even more powerfully, almost analogous to the way in which descent is far easier than ascent in any matter - however I am not certain that we can make such absolute statements as "hate is more powerful than love." I think this will always be a question of degrees - some very powerful hate can be stronger than some weak love and vice versa. But if you look at the sort of love that generally obtains between a mother and child for example, you will be hard pressed to find a stronger emotion or intuition - even among animals.

However I still insist that those who disagree that humans are not a virus are simply ignorant or in denial.
Humans are indeed a parasite of a kind, but when one looks at the broad picture of things from a bird's eye view, what isn't parasitic in some way or the other on this Earth. Every creature is. And like all other creatures, humans also have redeeming qualities.

The artistic, creative, musical and philosophical aspects of the human mind bring a dimension to reality which is higher and noble.

fredwill1357:
People who don't agree are simply ignorant or in denial,
Even though I share much of your pessimistic take on humankind, I will stop short of saying that anyone who disagrees with me is only ignorant or in denial. In stopping short of this, I leave open the possibility that it is my own thinking which is prejudiced, lopsided or skewed in some way or the other. I believe this is the real mark of open mindedness - being able to accede that one's own views may be wrong, even while one holds on to them with sufficient reasons of one's own.

what do you think will happen if you call all the Rats in your house or neighbourhood and say to them, look all you guys do is eat up people foodstuffs, documents, make creepy noises, mess up the environment and embarrass people in front of visitors, please leave the house. The Rats will give you 101 stupid reasons on why they should continue to exist, they might even say they help make your house lively. It is the same thing with humans, it is called BIAS.
While it is true that there exist such things as bias and confirmation bias, it is not true that humans only do negative things. In fact I dont think there is a creature that only does negative things. Even the worst parasite tends to have some fringe benefit or the other to the overall ecosystem.

If you tell humans look all we do is hurt and kill each other in the name of survival, out of anger, hate, vengeance or any other reason we might have. They will give you 101 stupid reasons on why they should continue to exist. We are a virus that denies not to be, and people who can judge the human race without bias, people who see how ungrateful, stupid, selfish and despicable humans really are including themselves and their families should not bother about the opinion of the unseeing who are in the majority.
It is not true that the bold is all humans do. There is such a thing as altruism among humanity, and there are humans who make strenuous efforts to protect wildlife and the environment.

I think both you and I need to be careful not to take extremist stances in our pessimism.

Something being rare or little doesn't necessary make it very special nor a good thing, we have rare diseases, does that make them good things?
Agreed, but rarity almost always translates into scientific value of some sort of the other - especially given that the Earth/ Earth-Life, even if diseased, is not solely, or just, disease alone. It is much more. Many things much more, if you will permit the odd turn of phrase.

If a robber and rapist comes into your house stealing, molesting and hurting people, do you need to be the father or creator of the robber before you have the right to shoot him down?
I doubt that this is an appropriate analogy, or can you show me how it is?

If you wake up to see some dirty despicable eyesore on the passage of the street of your home, you turn a blind eye only to repeatably come back and meet it, do you need to be the one who dropped it before you have a right to destroy or clear it up?
I agree here again, save with the small reservation that not everyone agrees that the thing in question is a dirty despicable eyesore: many others, as I hinted, bask and luxuriate in it, and consider it a thing of beauty, magic and wonder. Thus it is possible that in removing or destroying it, one will only be acting out one's private and even possibly psychopathic prejudices. I am able to admit this despite being inclined myself to destroy it all.

People tell you, "you can stay in my house as long as you need" and you shout "that man was a very good man" even if he gave you nothing else. But for giving you a free house, you called him a good person.
Living on the Earth is by no means free, there is a steep price to pay.

Interesting question which I have actually always pondered. In my version of the question, I am in outer space with a weapon capable of nuking the Earth in an instant and exterminating all life on it. I always imagined my instant choice would be to go ahead and destroy it all - leave no trace of life whatsoever and then exterminate myself as well. For the lofty purpose of ending the tragedy that is life once and for all.

But I have oft reflected beyond this impulse -

1. For all the size of the universe, and our regular presumption that extraterrestrial life must exist - we still know little - and life could just be such a rare and precious thing which it might be a shame to destroy.
2. Who knows what the role of the Earth is in a larger inter-dimensional reality which we know nothing or little of. What if it is a key stage for the evolution of spirits.
3. With all its horror and pain, its a thing of exceptional beauty - the Earth and life therein are truly astonishing in their splendor.
4. What gives me the right to destroy it all? I may have a dark and pessimistic view of life and the world, but many others do not. Many others bask and luxuriate in the magic of life. What gives me the right to destroy it all for so many billions of other people and other creatures, even yet unborn. I didn't create it after all. I dont own it.

Best to just "waka pass" this life and hope never to return.

would you also say sikhs should not be allowed to wear their turbans? has sikhs wearing their turbans led to a complete and utter breakdown of the dress code?

has making easter a bank holiday in the uk led to agitation of every other religious adherent to have a holiday for their own religion? has it led to a breakdown of the system?

are other religions in the uk also demanding that teh weekend be rejigged around their own religions' weekends?
These examples are not on all fours with the situation I am describing which is disruptive to operations of an office.
I would not oppose a turban because it disrupts nothing. But I would oppose a veil for example in jobs where face to face communication with either customers or colleagues is key.
