jws in general are taught to be forgiving and turn the other cheek so to speak. jehovah will take care of it...and its not up to man to exact judgment...(even though they judge the hell outta people)...that is the typical response a jw would give you. i had the same discussion with my jw parents about certain wars like ww1 and ww2 when hitler was going for world domination...if nobody stood up to the nazis, who knows what kind of world we'd be living in now!! of course i was reminded that jehovah would have never let that happen. lol! its kinda ironic as my dad always told me "never let anyone walk over you"...funny how the mind works when we dont use it...

Arizona massacre -- Where does JW line of self defense get crossed?
by FatFreek 2005 injehovah's witnesses are peaceful folks, just ask them.
having been one till many years ago i used to know the stock answers to questions about that fine line between being peaceable and defending oneself.. this came to front and center during the past several days with that horrific arizona shooting where some 7 folks have lost their lives.
it could have been more if it weren't for several onlookers ganging up on the perpetrator after he emptied the first magazine of bullets, getting ready for his spare magazine.. these onlookers instinctively became aggressive and restrained the perpetrator, one of them choking the man when needed, etc., and etc.. heroes, all of them, in my opinion.. none of them remained passive, thinking that this man wasn't really a threat to them personally so why get involved.

the cong i left never cancelled meetings for crappy weather. sometimes to the point that they would be "bloodguilty" if someone died returning home. some of the more "faithful" witnesses who never missed a meeting and bragged that they were there would likely be the poor victim.

Why are witnesses being "Persecuted" in certain countries?
by finallyfree! infor the most part this "persecution" is confined to countries where political balance can change on the drop of a dime.
watchtower witnesses who go door to door will speak of their religious views which include not voting or supporting the political parties.
where the watchtower control a percentage of the population through their kingdom halls and they turn people off from voting they have in effect formed their own type of independant political organization.

justinfrombethel: you drove the point home. other groups are getting the same treatment. sometimes theres a time to keep quiet though, as it says in the good book. the wts doesnt give a shit about the regular jws...sending them out in the service to the wts, having them promote their own agendas...oh well i guess in spiritual warfare you will have casulties. the wts dont send their young men to war, but theyll gladly offer them up as martyrs for the organization.

(like being driven out and having their homes and halls burnt down) i am in no way condoning these acts, but if you want to play "control the masses" with the "big boys" so to speak, then i guess it comes with the territory. if a citizen is not voting, it means hes not voting to keep the current party in power. as the witnesses grow in that country, the voting pool effectively declines as jws dont vote. who would run the country if they were all jws. control the people and you control the country. this is considered a political threat. dont forget to "vote watchtower" at the upcoming elections!!

hmmm...very interesting. i share the same line of thought. religion and god are merely a confirmation of self and depending where and what time in history we live our existance, that god could be jehovah, budha, oden, zeus, allah or just god.

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Media
by Spade inhttp://www.watchtower21.org/2011/01/jehovahs-witnesses-and-media.html.
at times, jehovah's witnesses are mentioned in the media in connection with a violent crime.
people shouldn't always believe everything they read--especially, it seems, on the internet.
