if u 1st day enlist, n declare that u're JW (or wat we codenamed johnie walker), u would be isolated immediately. Then we call SAFPU n wait for them pick u up, then u go DB and be their gardener for 2 yrs lor..

 

Essentially JW does not recognise the state, and of course military service. Other quirks about them is that they cannot take blood transfusions as well. Say one JW kena accident, he would refuse to let the doctor transfuse new blood into him..@ most recycle his old blood

Their view of sexual behavior reflects conservative Christian views. Homosexuality and premarital sex are considered sins.[58] Abortion is considered murder.[59] Modesty is heavily encouraged in dress and grooming. Gambling is strictly forbidden.[60] Practices that connote nationalism or false religion are avoided. Weddings, anniversaries, and funerals are typically observed; however, common celebrations and religious or national holidays such as Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are regarded as unchristian and are not celebrated.[61] The family structure is patriarchal. The husband is considered the final authority on family decisions, but is strongly encouraged to solicit his wife's thoughts and feelings. Marriages are required to be monogamous.[62] Vigorous efforts are made to spread their beliefs by all members throughout the world in a variety of ways, with particular emphasis on the written word. Literature is published in many languages through a wide variety of books, magazines and other publications, with a small number being available in as many as 410 languages. The preaching work is regarded as a form of humanitarian effort by giving people a hope for the future.

 

Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral.[65] They feel that their allegiance belongs to God's Kingdom (government). Thus they refrain from saluting the flag of any country or singing nationalistic songs.[66] They believe that such an act would be tantamount to worshipping an idol. Members are expected to obey all laws, including the paying of taxes, of the country in which they reside, so long as these do not violate what they view as God's law.[67] The political neutrality of Jehovah's Witnesses is also expressed by their refusal to participate in military service, even when such is of a compulsory nature, and by their detachment from secular politics. Before 1996, Jehovah's Witnesses also refused alternatives to military service.[68][69][70] Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged, but not prohibited under all circumstances, from voting in elections.[71] They do not stand for any political office.[72]
