Jehovah's Witnesses Flag Salute Case

[@PapaNiErcole]

So frequently did Witnesses raise core First Amendment issues that Justice Harlan Fiske Stone wrote, ''The Jehovah's Witnesses ought to have an endowment in view of the aid which they give in solving the legal problems of civil liberties.''

[@rexcavalier]

When Nebuchadnezzar learned that gold represents him and his kingdom (for the king and his kingdom or government are one), he was tempted to make an image of gold and commanded to all his subjects to honor or espect the symbol by bowing down in front of it once the musical instruments begin to sound. Now, this happened and was written down as example and warning for us, God's people, in these end times, because this same temptation has now overtook all the people of the world. The world made up a symbol for their kingdom or government and a powerful breath is given to it as its speaker causing anyone who refuses to salute it, serve it, praise it, glorify it, exalt it, and swear allegiance to it must be hated. Now, in our spiritual life, we understand that to hate your brother is equal to murder or kill him. Many people are afraid to be hated by their brothers and so they are forced to honor and serve this symbol of the world. But to the enlightened ones, they will surely refuse and choose to stay loyal to the holy nation in which they belong and to his only banner who is the Lord, the true light that will last forever.

[@dionkervycolarat1898]

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that bowing down to a flag or saluting it, often in conjunction with an anthem, is a religious act that ascribes salvation, not to God, but to the State or to its leaders. (Isaiah 43:11; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:21) In our age, “nationalism’s chief symbol of faith and central object of worship is the flag,” wrote historian Carlton Hayes. “Men bare their heads when the flag passes by; and in praise of the flag poets write odes and children sing hymns.” Nationalism, he added, also has its “holy days,” such as the Fourth of July [Independence Day] in the United States, as well as its “saints and heroes” and its “temples,” or shrines. In a public ceremony in Brazil, the minister general of the army acknowledged: “The flag is venerated and worshiped . . . just as the Fatherland is worshiped.” Yes, “the flag, like the cross, is sacred,” The Encyclopedia Americana once observed. Jehovah's Witnesses Are Neutral in any kinds of Situations that are connected to Nationalism and Politics. #Respect

Question: "Why do people think that Jehovah's Witnesses deny Jesus" Answer: "Satan, WHO IS THE GOD OF THIS EVIL WORLD, has made him blind, unable to see the glorious light of the Gospel that is shining upon him or to understand the amazing message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." ~ 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 (The Living Bible Version)

Doug I just ask you to please listen to me as someone who is concerned for you. You people are wonderful and sweet and I love the zeal you put forth in an effort to share your message. The only problem is, it is a false message. Jesus Christ is most definitely God and I would just ask you to please do me a favor. Read the entirety of psalm 102, and really focus on the verses 25-27 of psalm 102. Once reading psalm 102, we can clearly establish this psalmist is crying out to Jehovah for the entirety of the prayer. Now after reading that turn to the book of Hebrews and read the entirety of Hebrews chapter 1. I really appreciate you sticking with me this far Doug. In this part really focus on Hebrews 1:10-12. You will see in your NWT footnotes for this portion of Hebrews that it is quoting psalm 102:25-27, a psalm written by a man crying out to Jehovah God. In the context of this passage, Hebrews 1:10-12, we see that it is speaking of things that the Father says of the Son. The writer of Hebrews, a person whose writing is divinely inspired and infallible, is attaching the name Jehovah to the Son of God. Please hear me Doug, I mean this will all sincerity, you are an image bearer of the one true living God, as you know, and I want nothing more than to spend eternity fellowshipping with you in the presence of our God and savior Jesus Christ, Jehovah incarnate, second person of the triune God head. Doug please come and see the truth of the Gospel. Jesus Christ was God incarnated who took on the sin of the world in order to save his sinful image bearers for His Glory. God took YOUR punishment of eternal wrath in HIMSELF for YOU Doug! Please renounce the false beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and put your faith in Jesus Christ apart from any and all works. We can’t be good enough Doug. God was good enough on out behalf and took OUR eternal punishment for us. Please. Repent and believe the true Gospel Doug.

I will speak as if I am in the flesh. Can I be truly loyal to my country if while living in a foreign land, I think, speak, and act as if I belong there? That I was born there and I will pledge my life to its flag? Salute to it? Praise it? Exalt it? Raise it? Glorify it? And I will promise to serve under it even it means I must kill or die? It is the same with the people of the holy nations who are now strangers in this world. They are here but they are not belong here. Have we already forgotten that? Or are we afraid to be killed? The prophecy says that everyone will be forced to honor the image (representation) of the beast (the animal-minded kingdom of pagans) because the image is given a breath to speak on its behalf saying that anyone who refuses to worship the image must be killed. The killing here can mean also to spiritual killing by hating you. For anyone who hates his brother is a murderer. See? They are killing you if they hate you that is why they are called murderers. Their spirit is a murderer. They are not yet born from above in the spirit. And we are all brothers in the flesh through Adam and in the spirit if we received now the one who is born from above. Are we so afraid to be hated (murdered) by the world and so we compromise?

The blind cannot see the idols of the nations high and lifted up on a flag pole, because they don't believe what God said in Exodus 20:3-5, or in deuteronomy 4:15-19 The nations made graven images of the stars of heaven, of the moon, of the sun, of birds and four footed beasts, in the likeness of heaven above, or in the likeness of the earth below, and set the graven images in the flag, to serve them. The US is serving the image of the star spangled of heaven, and the image of the bald eagle of the earth. Israel is serving the image of the star remphan of heaven Acts 7:43 Canada is serving the image of the leaf of the maple tree of the earth. Mexico is serving the image of the eagle and serpent of the earth. Japan is serving the image of the sun of heaven. The nations idols of wood and stone were replaced with idols of fabric. Idolatry is through the pledge of allegiance to the flag and anthem. When the king of babylon the great played the anthem at the sound of music the babylonians bowed down to the ground and worshipped the statue of the golden image of the earth. When the US plays the anthem at the sound of music the US stand on their feet and worshipped the image of the star spangled of heaven with a song. When ancient Israel made flag banners in the wilderness they didn't pledge allegiance to the flag banners, or played the anthem, because God was their banner. The nations call their idols of the flag "symbols". God calls the nations symbols of the flag "idols". The blind are worshipping their idols of fabric, high and lifted up on a flag pole.

In a strange way the C'v'd has been a Godsend in exposing this cult . It's shown their allegiance to the word & governance of MAN . Perhaps best of all, it's gotten them off the streets .

How though?

Michael the Arc Angel Hi and God bless…….Michael is an arc angel which means leader Michael is the leader of the warrior angels in heaven that’s why in the book of Daniel it took Michael to get to Gabriel Michael’s name means like God because he is Gods authority to fight as if he were God with Gods army that’s all that means it has nothing to do with Jesus. Michael as stated in the book of Daniel is one of the princess one of the archangels. In the book of Jude… Michael the archangel said the “Lord God rebuke you Satan” Jesus rebuked Satan directly himself read it in the New Testament and see the difference between the two Gabriel is an archangel he is the leader of the Messenger angels Satan was an archangel he was a cherub created angel who was in charge of the worship angels that’s why they’re called morning star’s in the book of Job because that was satans name and his job……In the book of Ezekiel chapter 28 it tells you exactly what Satan looked like… how God created him he was covered in settings snd gemstones and had built in bag pipes when He fell 30% of his worship angels went with him. I’m almost 60 I’m a Christian I am not a Jehovah’s Witness I’m not a Seventh-day Adventist I’m not a Mormon I’m not a Catholic and I am not of the Islam we do not consider these religions to be Christians. I’ve I listened to churches who came 1800 years after Jesus’s church who think they can teach It’s about our own church, pretty funny huh Jesus Christ started his church the true church and I’m not talking about the Catholics I’m talking about Christian Church the first church who also survived when the Catholics infiltrated our church in 451 and took half of it over???? Did you ever study this? the Catholics did not take over the full Christian church where did the Christian church go???? and how did God protect his church????? your religion teaches you that there was a full apostasy when there never was….Another of the devils lies We survived the pagan infiltration… the heresies…..the Catholic Church infiltrating and taking half of our church…. we’ve survived all that…….As Jesus predicted in his parable of the wheat and the tares…. we’re still here and we are not going anywhere until Jesus comes back for us. Jesus said in the parable of the wheat and the tares that his wheat would never die are you calling Jesus a liar??? Jesus also said let all the false religions (tares) grow with my wheat that I planted I’ll separate them when I come. Are you saying that the mustard seed didn’t grow??? The leaven didn’t rise??? if you say this you’re calling Jesus a liar? Jesus further told Peter on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail again Jesus is not a liar????? So for seventh day Adventist… Jehovah witnesses….. Mormons and even Islam and a any other religion who says that there was a full apostasy of Jesus’s church…… I do believe Jesus would call you…. the liar….. As he often called Satan a liar, a murder and a thief in the New Testament. You are worshiping a dead false God with a created Savior that you claim to be an angel when in fact the old testament clearly tells you that only God the God Almighty himself is the savior of the world please wake up!!!!!!!!read the Bible everything that I’ve just told you is actually printed in the Bible but your religions ignore it because if you were to preach what is in the Bible…..you couldn’t believe in what you believe Ellen White….Joseph Smith….. Mohammed….. and Charles Russell who started the Jehovah witnesses were just men and women who were Tricked by the devil…….. Don’t you think it’s kind of funny that you all believe the same thing that Jesus was Michael the archangel what a joke that is….

This bible isn’t true either…stop being boastful that this 2000 year old book is something that’s real…try again!!

[@shellystone3211]

How would you know it sounds like you don’t read it? try reading the Bible and finding the prophecy in the Bible that predicted that Israel would become a nation in May 1948 to the exact day yeah the Bible is real So is Jesus he loves you what can I tell you about Jesus please feel free to ask me any questions you want as many as you want

In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses they practice rejecting the blood and body of Christ in the Lord's Supper!

[@eduardomarcelino1980]

"STOP, LOOK, LISTEN: Luke 8:17 "For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor is there anything carefully hidden that will never become known and never come to light." it is part of the new covenant that Jesus made with his disciples to eat the bread that represents his body and drink the wine that represents his blood, how will you have eternal life? (Luke 22:19,20). doctrine of men or the word of GOD?" observe (John ch 3:16,17) 16-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever exercises faith in him may not be destroyed but have eternal life. 17-For God did not send his Son into the world that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him." observe (John ch 6:53-57) 53- So Jesus said to them, "I say- to you with all certainty: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 - He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I do. I will rise again at the last day, 55- for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56- Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the Father who lives sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me. the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". notice what Jesus said: Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

[@eduardomarcelino1980]

the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.
