Then Ram (jw ben),
why do jw's do not abstain from blood fully. Some things are allowed some not. Were in the bible can you find how to draw the line as they do?

Notice what the society Admits
by skyman ininsight on the scriptures vol 1 pages 345, paragraph 6 at deuteronomy 14:21 allowances was made for selling to an alien resident or a foreigner an animal that had died of itself or that had been torn by a beast.
thus a distinction was made between the blood of such animals and that of animals that a person slaughtered for food.
{compare le 17:14-16} the israelites, as well as alien residents who took up true worship and came under the law covenant, were obligated to live up to the lofty requirements of that law.

Watchtower and UN?
by rambaldi inis this issue of the watchtower being part of the un department of public information of any significance?
at the district conventions of jehovahs witnesses there are flags of the united states and other sovereign government such as states or other countries hanging from the buildings.
the governing body and the watchtower society rent buildings which become the equivalent of kingdom halls for the weekend.

Need clarification on communication with a disfellowshipped person
by jostes inwas wondering the clarification of a relationship someone can have with their mother if they have been disfellowshipped and the daughter is in good standing with the congregation?
the daughter was baptised after the disfellowship.
does this mean the daughter is not to have a relationship with the mother.

It is more worse then I thought.
Here they are a bit relaxed about it (well some are).
But the magazines are clear about it. I hate it. Just to know what I will have to endure probably later... (am not yet df-ed)

Not exactly. Being American is basically a choice, and if you participate in the process and like what the country represents, then you can be proud. Some are ashamed to be Americans.
Is it really a choice? Many people like to be americans but are not allowed to be an american.
I know it is easy to critisize the politics of the country that has the most influence in the world. I mean if my
countryland does something stupid, who cares?I do just not like many of the forrign policies of the states. Also the first time I came to the states, (I arrived from a developing country) I was shoked by the poverty.

You never said, I love Belgium?
I did say this maybe. I also said, I love america, I love africa etc. There are many places I love.
But I would never not say "I am proud to be from belgium".
That sounds like: I am proud to be white (or black) or proud to be a man (or woman). Just sounds very wrong.

This is Bull sh*t. You don't live here. You don't know how most of us feel. You only know of the vocal minority who are always screaming the loudest.
Flyinghighnow,
Actualy I lived there for some time. I did like a lot of things in the states actually. Of course not all people are the same. But met a lot (a minority though) of very patriotic people. The we are better though is common. I really did not like that. I know that far from all people feel like that. But the politics is surely trying to influence people in thinking this way.
Your post gives you away as a YOU or US thinker. When you put others down, you elevate yourself and that is a form of bragging.
I totally do not agree with you on this... I do not think I am better, nor do I think my country is better. I am not proud of my country. It just happen to be the place where I am born.
I see many things wrong with America. I see many things right. Most Americans feel the same way. I am very tired of all the America bashing that goes on on this board. If you don't like the policies, say so. Stop making sweeping generalizations. We don't deserve them as you don't deserve them.
Well,I was talking about policies actually. I do not want to make any generalizations, and if some feel that I did, I am sorry.

I do not feel my country is better than yours or most any other country. I am happy I was born in a country that is mostly free and that I have never had to worry about starving to death or losing one of my children to a curable disease. Im also happy that I have never had to live under a tyranical dictator or be treated like a peice of dirt simply because I am a woman. So when I say " I am proud to be an American" I am not putting anyone else down. I am just being thankful for all the good things I do have.
Lilbit
Ok, lilbit, agreed. Hope everybody would feel like that.
just the expression sounds a bit strange to me (us here).

OK yall just a warning Im Probably fixin to piss a whole lot of people off but I cant just read this and not speak up. AS many of you know my husband is a soldier in the United States Air Force. I am extremly proud of him and the job he does for this country. I think our freedom should be celebrated. Get over it if you dont like it. I spent the better part of my life so far being told that its wrong to be patriotic and now that Im free to think for myself I have decided that I do love this country I am proud to be American and will tell anyone who dosnt like it to kiss my butt.
He he, you do not piss me off. I like your reply. I think it is nessesary to have soldiers etc. And he is probably doing a good job. O, and yes I do not mind celebrating your freedom. That is quite normal.
But why you say 'I am proud to be american". In what way is your country better then for example my country?
