If my mind serves me correctly, I am sure it says in the branch correspondence guidelines or the elders secret hand book -shepherd the flock of God- that it is acceptable to stand for the national anthem out of respect, but not to take part by singing.
I remember being peeved when I read this as I had a couple of embarrassing situations when the national anthem was played on some nights out. All the witnesses remained seated and we all looked like a bunch of disrespectful assholes.
slimboyfat, it appears that wts is going, gone digital.

As money runs out they'll close down more congregations and take more money

Your analysis is amazing. It will be interesting to see what transpires over the coming years.
In regards to what you said about selling of kh's. I wonder if this is what the watchtower foresees, hence the newer business like KH structures they are building. Time will tell.
hey guys!
what do you think is the percentage of jw's believe that it is the truth and the percentage of those who think it might be some false or all false??

Many like myself - pimo

finally, after 5 years, we have received footage that shows, unmistakably, that there was a flag in the kingdom hall, while a meeting was happening.here is the video:https://youtu.be/uel3otw6gemi will post this year's pictures below.
this year we had pictures and video of three different kingdom halls with the flag!.
As employees, JW's are allowed to raise and lower the flag on public buildings (offices, schools, etc) where they work if no ceremony is accompanied with it
So what it all comes down to is a matter of personal conscience. Wow.
Now why don't the GB allow for a matter of personal conscience when it comes to the blood issue or birthday's??
Ah hold on a second, I feel an enlightening coming on. 💰 and 🏚 are not at stake. Ah I see!!i it all makes sense now. The light certainly is getting brighter 😇. Proverbs 4:18.

And displaying a flag should no more be a problem than standing for a judge in a court of law
Smiddy3- Yes you are quite correct. There is nothing wrong as only showing respect for the nation you live in. It's also the same when standing for a national anthem, but not singing.
However, watchtower continuously practices double standards. For example the UN debacle. This was meant to be the image of the beast according to their teaching. Yet they were a member for 10 years as an NGO. It hypocrisy!! It shows that the interests of the Society ie money/property will always come first before Jehovah!

At this week's clam meeting, we were shown the picture below and discussed the item 'loyalty to Jehovah brings rewards'
In the case of Chile, loyalty to Jehovah can be exchanged for 400 dollars. 🤔
https://youtu.be/t0nfxs7cans have you guys seen this?
i googled it on my pc and pulled same thing.
crazy stuff.
Is this for real?
ok. i had a fascinating conversation with one of my polish colleagues at work.
she knows i'm a jdub and an activist as have filled her in warts and all about watchtower.. she came up to me today explaining how a couple of polish witnesses came to her door.
she was curious as to how they knew to call on her door knowing she was polish.
Regarding the phone book, I would imagine the more hard lined determined zealots would possibly take time to do this. My colleague doesn't have a land line and therefore rules this out.
It was actually quite good to get feedback from her about this though as many who are called on in the foreign language field will be thinking how on earth they got this information.
we finally have the video that i had been waiting for.... a video of the chilean flag on the kingdom hall showing a meeting happening while the flag was there on the kingdom hall.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uel3otw6gemthis year we got a record three kingdom halls with pictures and videos with the flag..
Clearly watchtower property comes first. This is Watchtower hypocrisy in all its glory. On the one hand they have items like at this week's clam about the 3 young men who refused to bow down before an idol in the book of Daniel.
Yet Watchtower will give in to the Chilean government to hang the national flag on their properties to avoid their property being confiscated (or at least this appears to be the case.
Message to the Governing Body. Why don't you practice what you preach??

Does she have any identifying marks where she lives? Is her Polish name on the door-bell? A Polish flag or other stickers on her front door, the windows - or anything on her car
Darkspilver.
Funny enough, I asked her if her name was on her door, but she said she didn't.
Thanks for the information you gave. I will research the km later.
Thanks
