JW kids and the national anthem humiliation......
by kid-A infor me, school was extremely stressful as a jw kid.
the worst part had to be my morning dose of humiliation being forced to walk out of the room as the national anthem came on the loudspeakers (first god save the queen, then, oh canada).
the other kids found this completely bizarre, and several of my "patriotic" minded teachers really resented me for doing this (despite the obvious fact i had no choice in the matter but was being forced into this by my parents).. how could anybody force this public humiliation on a small child or teen-ager, already having to deal with the normal stresses of growing up and worrying about their public image with their peers???

Ingenuous,
I was supposed to be proud to be a JW, proud to be different, vindicated by other's disapproval. And I felt very little of that, and seldom. We aren't allowed to feel anything other than blessed and special under such circumstances and I wasn't very skilled at denial when I was very young (I got better at it in high school, since I got baptized right before I started.)
inquirer -- sorry to get into the symantec jungle, but Jehovah says being proud is something destable to him.
Proverbs 16:5 "Everyone that is proud in heart is something detestable to Jehovah. Hand [may join] to hand, [yet] one will not be free from punishment."
Not judging, but something that I forget from time to time. -

In Australia, you don't have to do this "stand for the national anthem" stuff, only on rare occasions, you had to.
But really, why do you have to sing the national anthem? Why won't people respect your beliefs? Why do people always have to draw the worst conclusion? Why can't they consider and be more philosophical (and think to themselves...
"maybe he doesn't like singing..."
" '' he doesn't like to go on about his national pride, and likes to keep in his heart -- he doesn't need to to sing to the whole world about it..."
" '' he is upset with what his country has done to his family lately..."
" '' he is sick of singing it..."
" '' the background music is not up to standard..."
" '' "maybe he is disgusted with how the kids sing the national anthem -- they all have horrible voices." " '' "he has a right -- because of his religion!!!"
What horrible, disrespectful people in this world! I mean, when you were younger you didn't say them all "stop singing, you are a Satanic! Satan's songs!" DID YOU? No.
I am sure if it was some other group of people who don't believe in the national anthem, people would fall over backwards for them. I won't say who. But some people in our community are very uncooperative! I am sure it's like that back in Canada!!!
With all this globalization and so forth, unfortunately, people aren't so nationalistic about their countries... a lot of people are very indifferent about their countries. I am not particularly nationalistic myself, but "when in Rome -- do what the Romans do." About whether I would sing the national anthem... well, I was lucky because in Australia, we didn't do it hardly at all... But again, am I stopping other people from singing the national anthem?
(Pssst, I actually like my country's national anthem: Advance Australia Fair... I just had it when they say "advarns" instead of "advance." :)) -

Researchers slow light to 245 meters/second
by seattleniceguy in...at room temperature!.
the advance could remove a major bottleneck at fiberoptic routers, where light must be converted to an electrical signal and then back to light, which is costly and time-consuming.
if incoming signal speeds could be modulated, routers could avoid this optical-electrical-optical swtich and dramatically increase throughput.. http://www.physorg.com/news6951.html.

dr. bruce metzger, late professor of new testament at princeton university -"a frightful mistranslation", "erroneous", "pernicious", and "reprehensible".

Cygnus,
Here is the link:
It's a review of the book. The book is not anti-NWT! The reviewer is!
We are a pretty lazy bunch on JWD. If you went to the first page, it has the link to the flaming book anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Lee,
It's not there like I thought.
I was thinking of buying it. I won't buy it if I don't have a fair idea how it's translated. -
