Refusing to Buy a Party Card Meant Death ~ Could You Stand Up To The Truth?

On other hand this two also showed some kind of "neutrality", according to own "conscience". And with WT Company approval, i guess.

“The Joliet, Illinois, “Herald-News” quotes a local spokesman for one group affected by the law as saying: “JehovahÂ’s Witnesses, not only in this country but throughout the world, always take a neutral stand towards the government. ItÂ’s not that we donÂ’t have respect for this country. ItÂ’s just that you wonÂ’t find JehovahÂ’s Witnesses saying a pledge of allegiance to any country.””Watchtower 1980 Feb 15 p.30

@Gone Away, Thanks for pointing to that thread from last year. I just skimmed it and I think it included just about all I personally would ever want to say about the topic again. I am always tempted to just rewrite from scratch, but not this time. Thanks again.

It can get worse, but luckily it did not, I know a girl who lives in Egypt, her father was nearly beheaded because he spoke of God, for he was learning. Apparently speaking of God or of one's faith, mainly at this point, Christianity should spell disaster for some people, but it seems the Coptic Church is exempted from that madness.

It can get far worse depending on where you live from minor to major things, even being subjected to occult/black magic and other forms of craziness and gruesome brutality.

In parts of the country, some people are backed by laws and regulations and preaching to someone, mainly if they are of Islam can land you in some serious trouble, for some people, it is considered justice to exact punishment, some on the other hand thing silencing someone for good is the viable option so one has to be very weary about whom they speak or read the Bible to because you may just win the jackpot with an individual who takes the message the wrong way and thinks a consequence must be in play. In this guy's case, he dodged a bullet, or for this situation, a sword swing for he was informed of what these people who were not a fan of his conversion and what the had to say and these people were going to do something serious, but before they could the man in question was long gone.

Long story short, one has to not just be careful of the area they speak the gospel in, mainly if you are a regular and or live in said area, but one have to be very weary of whom they speak the gospel to, especially those who are not a fan of the gospel, to the extent they would actually do something about it, from minor things to major that is deemed dangerous and or confrontational. For, persecution is like a bag of Skittles mixed in with M&M's. you can pick one and get any color, and you might have one that is a fruity taste or chocolate, so it is down right random and can spin out of control fast for some people in certain areas.
