I am tempted to say that anything the Witnesses claim must be wrong. I am ready to say that if the reason for staying out of politics is to serve the Watchtower instead, then of course it is wrong. If you are asking whether a Christian should stay away from politics and if the Bible really says that, I would say that it is uniquely a Watchtower doctrine that most of the rest of Christianity hasn't concluded.
But if you are really asking if the idea is right or wrong in general- If an individual decides to stay out of politics and not take sides on issues, that is their decision. I see that as a valid decision. But to insist that others do that is wrong.

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Regarding Staying Out of Politics?
by minimus inwe 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.

Progressives don't idolize people like people do in the Trump Cult.
Cuomo has said many of the right things, making him socially progressive. But when it comes to economics, he hasn't acted very progressive.
I know that is confusing to Trump worshippers. They know that he is lying to their face and always saying the right things that people want to hear and always doing what works best for him, his family, his contributors, and not doing whatever he said. They are confused by opposition criticism of Cuomo because Trump worshippers keep worshipping no matter what Trump says or does next. -

It sounds like you are not baptized. DO NOT GET BAPTIZED. No matter what, don't do it.
Others may have good advice about what to say to your mom, but DO NOT GET BAPTIZED.

What do you think of these two?
I give them as much thought as Kim and Kanye. If possible, maybe less. -

Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?
by minimus init looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

Trump did incite an insurrection against the US government. But if you want to believe that he did not there is no way to convince you.

I did not say that Rush created the parody. I said "When Barack Obama was still a Senator, Rush enjoyed playing a song parody ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ on his show, so maybe we could play that at his funeral to remind people what Rush was all about."
We can turn Rush's life story into a parody joke which it is. -

Evolution is a theory like gravity is a theory.
We know gravity exists but the way it works can only be called a theory.
Still, it is beyond hypothesis- A hypothesis proposes a tentative explanation or prediction. A theory is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence.
A theory is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses.
So gravity is a fact that must be called a theory. Evolution is a fact, but the way things evolved is in theories and a few hypotheses. -

They did away with me years ago. Whatever it is that gets you "assignments," get out of it. "I just cannot do it."

The Ministry School and the talks are not mandatory. Regardless of what your wife might say, you could approach the School Overseer (or whatever they call him nowadays) and simply say, "The assignments are too much for me. Remove me from the school." Then don't back down.
It won't generate an investigation. Plenty of people weren't on the school when I was the overseer.
