I am Deaf and blind is Jehovah going to destroy me because I can't hear or see a JW broadcast or read a watchtower or go to the kingdumb hall???
by UNCONDITIONAL LOVE inan easy way to stump the delusional jws at your door is come to the door with sunglasses on holding a sign with the words in the above title, and not say a word.
the reaction will be priceless.... hopefully it will wake up those that still have some use of their thinking abilities..

JWs vandalizing homes/property of apostates
by StarTrekAngel ini have read over the past few years of many cases of elder harassment and unwanted visitations.
however, there is a couple of stories out there where it has been presented that eventually the apostate in question comes home one day to find that their home has been trashed or covered with graffiti, which by the words written, seems to imply that it was a jw taking "revenge" or seemingly delivering divine justice against the apostate.
most of these are stories i've read online from several years ago.. have you individually or the group ever heard or stumbled upon these cases?

Hey ToesUp!
Wow...lots of empty seats. Good to see!
?
Just seems that the visitor got to his first congregation meeting early
Although no increase last year, the JW-to-population ratio is 1-in-230
The 1,630 publishers are conducting as average of 1.27 studies each
The Memorial attendance was 4,198 - that's an average of 155 attenders-per-congregation

Hi Nevuela
Um, what country is this?
Huh? Not everybody on this forum lives in the US. I don't think you've been keeping up with the news have you? do you read a newspaper? or just the W & A?
As it seems like a question that has kinda just arisen for the OP, it sounds like India....

I think the WT's views have become more fudged over time - particularly as we've become more multi-cultural with a mix of nationalities living and working together - much like DoC states
DesirousOfChange - Personally, I now always stand -- out of respect -- just as every person of every nation does t the Olympics for the National Anthem of other countries. Clearly they are NOT showing any loyalty to other nations. Nor or they "praying" in behalf of other nations. They are merely showing respect.
But prologos probably best sums up WT's general view very succinctly
prologos - The idea was that give honour to the one demanding honour. you always stayed a notch below the crowd, you can stand, but not raise your arm to Heil, or cover your heart, or sing.
The real problem though - and therefore the real fudge - is highlighted by stuckinarut2
stuckinarut2 - Do they not know of the countries in south America where NATIONAL FLAGS ARE FLOWN on the KINGDOM HALLS each year????
Now check out the official WT Correspondence Guidelines: Flag Salute and Anthems

This is the same meeting - but from a different congregation
East English Congregation at 609 Paradise Ct, Gaithersburg MD 20877-1234
This one's admittedly a bit more interesting due to the following....
The Blue JW logo - yes! on the back wall of the platform! haha not seen that before??!
Local Needs 54:20 - "Assist the Elderly and Infirm Ones" - includes witnessing in local care homes and hospices with experiences and feedback etc
Local Announcements 1:38:30 - includes the congregation's monthly summary Accounts Report

Sorry, seems like I posted the w/e meeting in the OP rather than the m/w meeting - when I originally posted it, my posts where being queued and not being displayed straightaway so I wasn't able to check it once it was 'live' and edit it at the time - anyway here's a link to the midweek meeting:
Of possible interest is
Local Needs 44:30 - "Do Your Eyes of Faith See Jehovah"
