i saw in the news where a teacher got mad at a student for coming in late during the pledge of allegiance and threw them against a wall and so the student was suing.. this made me want to ask, jehovah's witnesses stand up during the pledge of allegiance along with everyone else.
why is that ok but, it wasn't ok for shadrach , meshach and abednego to bow down to the king's idol ?
if the command had been for everyone who was sitting to stand at attention for the idol, wouldn't that have been the same thing ?
Are you saying that if everyone had been seated , and the king said " All Stand to show you worship my idol" that would have been alright for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to do
No, it's based on the conditions of the situation which you just explained yourself.

The reasoning is that being present is the form of respect equivalent to standing, and bowing down is the form of worship equivalent to putting hand to heart.

How about a movie that focuses on real, major problems in the religion that even a JW can relate to, specifics that can't be said about other religions, and isn't all about 'I want to do this one specific thing but they won't let me, boo hoo'.
"Apostasy" did that well, but we need a major US movie, because after all it is a US religion.
so, i was just viewing an interview with professor yonathan adler regarding the origins of judaism as an everyday practice of the masses.
he makes a very convincing argument that the jews only became torah observants in a generalized way around the beginning of the hasmonean dynasty, between the 3rd and 2nd centuries bc.
you can watch the interview here:.
Agree with enoughisenough except for the part about not reading anything to the contrary. Facts hold up if they're facts regardless of the source.

So many of "The Experts" have made fools of themselves trying to disprove the historicity of Biblical details, and going for this minutiae is really reaching. Not original, and not impressed.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Nonsense. It is axiomatic that nobody gets deleted from the gb unless they don’t qualify anymore. JW know this.
Apparently you haven't seen the forums of active JWs talking about this topic. A good amount of them are theorizing he had to step down for 'health reasons'.
dear friends,.
i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.
it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.
Beautiful, line for line for line I relate to everything you typed. I just pray someone else reads it who needs it! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i wonder how many jws will squirm watching the upcoming 3rd season of mandalorian in which out of compassion he was obliged to break certain rules of his religion and is now labeled an apostate.
awkward!.

i thought of this today.
when i first told a certain person i didn't believe the gb were the faithful slave, that person told me i was spiritually sick....even bought me flowers.
i threw the vase away because i couldn't look at it without thinking how i was judged spiritually sick.
You're more 'spiritually healthy' than the lot of them. They're following men, you're using your ability to think.
