Do you plan on voting in the upcoming Governor's election?

 

rant_KristenSauls

 

Kristen Sauls – General Studies

Yes I do. While I think it's important for people to vote, I think it's more important for people who are interested in it and know what's going on to vote, than for people to blindly show up and vote.

 

 

rant_DavidBraley

David Braley – History

No, I really don't. I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and we're completely politically neutral, we don't ever vote.

 

 

rant_NicolaMigot

 

Nicola Migot – Nursing

Probably not, mostly due to laziness. I don't even know who's running. My Texas Government teacher would be so mad at me right now.

 

 

 

rant_NathanRodriguez

 

Nathan Rodriguez – Visual Communication

No. I believe that people should vote if there's a good opportunity for a character who's actually decent to vote for.

 

 

rant_KaceeColds

Kacee Colds – Commercial Music Management

No - I'm from New York, so I don't really believe in a lot of laws that they have in Texas…They are worried about the wrong things.

 

 

 

rant_AlyVasquez

Aly Vasquez – Foreign Language, Spanish

No, I don't plan on voting, I just don't take the time to know the issues and know what's going on. I'd like to, but I don't. Too busy with work and school.

The following SUMMARIES OF NEARLY 1500 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CRIMINAL and CIVIL COURT CASES will provide the BEST and MOST ACCURATE info about Jehovah's Witnesses, their beliefs, and how they ACTUALLY practice such day to day.

The following website summarizes over 900 court cases and lawsuits affecting children of Jehovah's Witness Parents, including 400 cases where the JW Parents refused to consent to life-saving blood transfusions for their dying children, as well as nearly 400 CRIMINAL cases -- most involving MURDERS:

NOTICE: Scott is Jehovah's Witnesses troll Steve Klemeiit and his rants are scary and disturbing.

Jehovah's Witnesses cause a LOT of harm have burned a lot of victims.Anytime their keywords come up in the news it creates a firestorm of outrage and rabid rants from their followers.
That's it.

The Jehovah Witness Watchtower cult message, spammed in 180 languages, is the same: God is soon going to execute every living person on the planet, except Jehovah’s Witnesses.

They also actively encourage people to reject life-saving medical treatment involving some common blood products such as plasma and red cells.

Amazing how the haters find an article like this with one short quote form a Jehovah’s Witness and use as a forum to spew their putrid bile!!!

… mixing religion and politics. Its just plain wrong. Any true Christian knows this and would never involve themselves with worldly government. They obey their governments where they live, as long as breaking god's laws are not involved but thats where they draw the line. Here is the Bibles reasoning on this:
Titus 3:1 "Continue reminding them to be in subjection and be obedient to governments and authorities as rulers"
BUT...
Matt. 4:8-10 "Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”
So Satan has control of all earthly governments. More proof?
2 Cor. 4:3, 4 "If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through."
John 14:30 "I shall not speak much with YOU anymore, for the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me"
Eph. 6:12 "because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places."
1 John 5:19 "We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one."
What will soon happen to Satan's man made governments?
Dan. 2:44 "And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite"
Why doesn't human rule work?
Eccl. 8:9 "All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, [during] the time that man has dominated man to his injury."
Jer. 10:23 "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."
Jesus made it very clear when he was on earth!
John 18:36, 37 "Jesus answered: “My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.”
A true Christian does not involve their self in the world’s government & politics but remains neutral, just as Jesus Christ did while on earth. The people tried to make him king several times but he refused. He recognized that only his Father Jehovah's kingdom with himself as king, has the right to rule. Everyone prays for that kingdom in the "Lord's Prayer". Have you ever wondered what you are actually praying for? Talk to any of Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall, and you can learn the answer to this question as well as other answers, from your Bible. Please take the time to find out what the Bible really teaches.

Do the golden rule even if you are not a Jesus follower.
Religions are just belief systems handed down.

If a million people believe in a falsehood for a hundred years it's STILL a falsehood.

Jesus second coming in 1914 (Jehovah Witness),Jesus came to America with golden plates, Muhammad ascended to heaven on a flying horse....
