  I was somewhat skeptical about this video. But when I used some tools to listen in closely to the elder that told him to stop the talk, the elder simply told him "You can't keep giving this talk with your flies wide open."

  JW's and the National Anthem/Flag

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.

  we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

  I see there is some concern now among the JW "upper management" about the sitting for the national anthem. Since sitting or taking a knee is considered a political or racial statement, there seems to be some internal buzz (from a very good source) that standing for the national anthem may be allowed at some point as long as you don't put your hand on your heart, sing or some other motion that displays "worship".

  I already commented that we are allowed to stand up in court when a judge enters the room to show respect for the position. Why not stand up and show respect for the country? I would not put my hand over my heart to pledge allegiance to the judge. But standing is just a matter of respect for the position.

  As soon as you can get a credit card, you can find some nice sisters online to talk to and discuss you inner feelings. You could even discuss your plans for your wedding night.

  I am mostly Northern European and my Columbian wife is as "white" or more so than I am. As she always complains about surveys or other things here in the US, they have Caucasian as one check box and Hispanic as another. What if you are both, white and speak Spanish. As she correctly argues, Hispanic is simply the language you speak.

  I used to work with a guy who always called jokingly himself an African-American. He was born in Africa, South Africa, probably after some generations of the British rule. His skin was as white as a KKK hat. So was he a "man of color"?

  In today's world, color is a very difficult thing to determine.

  Nikki is not a Dem

  @Min .....

  Very true. But there was at least a lot of talk and buzz about John McCain picking Joe Lieberman, an Independent Dem for VP, back when he ran. He chose Sarah Palin instead.

  I guess with things getting increasingly polarized the thought of that happening would likely not happen.

  Was Sin Inevitable?

  by Parker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was wondering about this question and wanted to ask: was sin inevitable?

  also, i had thought about past watchtower articles or publications related to this topic and did some research and found this from our readers ask if adam was perfect, how was it possible for him to sin?.

  well, then, did god create adam with a moral weakness, so that he lacked the ability to make sound decisions or to withstand temptation?

  Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower

  fermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.

  countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.

  according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

  For fermentation purposes, nothing like sauerkraut, baked beans and some cheap beer.

  The COVID-19 virus thing will seek out a new home very quickly.

  Trump came out and recommended the NRA move its headquarters to Texas instead of New York.

  Why not just a little further south into Mexico and save some money?
