  Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Regarding Staying Out of Politics?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  we were told we were part of the world if we got involved in politics.

  if we had employment that had political involvement we were instructed to get another job.

  we were told we might be considered disassociated if we voted and then it became questionable.

  Short answer, yes. Long answer, if individuals are not interested in politics and don't want to be at least aware, that's up them (though not a position I recommend). But it is fundamentally wrong for people to be told not to have political opinions, particularly on issues that directly affect them.

  Not so much. Aside from the reference being quite dated, mixing up the names Jeffro and Jethro just makes you look dumb.

  Come on, that’s not even good ad hominem. If a personal attack is your best argument, at least say something clever.

  It’s not my problem that you still don’t understand the subscription basis for the training content. If you want to imagine they reviewed all 16,700 courses available from the provider (with new courses regularly added) including the 270 related to ‘diversity’, that’s your own issue.

  As to your nonsense about ‘calling you a liar’, making an assertion without evidence is just foolish, not necessarily dishonest.

  When did I say that? ‘There is no evidence for x’ is not the same thing as ‘x definitely didn’t happen’. But it remains the case that it is highly unlikely that management scrutinised all 270 courses about ‘diversity’.

  Repeating a lie over and over again doesn’t make it true.

  LinkedIn Learning has over 16,000 courses including 270 on ‘diversity’. It is laughable to think management scrutinised every course available from the provider.

  But instead of bothering to consider any facts, some just prefer the most sensationalist position.

  a number of states are allowing people to not wear a mask.

  some think this is disastrous!

  Obviously. All governments control people to some extent. It’s in the name. If governments had no control at all, you may find you do not like the alternative.

  I don’t think anyone has claimed that Coke and other corporations aren’t on the ‘woke’ bandwagon. But the specific claims made about the training were not supported by the facts.

  Jeff, the government would never try to control people

  Sure, because if I don’t think Covid is a conspiracy, that ‘obviously’ means I think all governments are fluffy bunnies with my best interests at heart. 🤦‍♂️
