Not in the US. We believe in the right of religious conscientious objectors. No white feathers are handed out in the US.

until they are all slain or imprisoned

Most people won't join a cult. Members are leaving it also. Those that aren't shunned for dating to question it's leadership.

Ex-Jehovah's witness reveals secrets of religious group | The Independent


Compared with other U.S. religious groups, Jehovah’s Witnesses tend to be less educated. A solid majority of adult Jehovah’s Witnesses (63%) have no more than a high school diploma, compared with, for example, 43% of evangelical Protestants and 37% of mainline Protestants.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have a low retention rate relative to other U.S. religious groups. Among all U.S. adults who were raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses, two-thirds (66%) no longer identify with the group. By contrast, about two-thirds of those who were raised as evangelical Protestants (65%) and Mormons (64%) still say they are members of those respective groups.

Then it is no big deal, but you are acting really scared of the sect. Why?
 
CLAX1911 said:
Scared? not sure where you came up with that one.

Im not particularly fond of them. But since when does that equate to being scared?

Who says I don't? All I've done here is talk about it. It is a discussion forum. Are JWs a subject I'm not allowed to discuss?

Just another 'religious' wack job with a website and an internet talk show, Rick Wiles has a rather strange definition of 'religious freedom'.

Wiles has some rather strange ideas as to just who are real Christians. He sees Putin as a true Christian because of his orders banning the JWs and seizing their churches along with various anti-gay actions. If a person doesn't support discrimination against gays, Muslims and all other religions, then they aren't really Christian.

It is actually an idea consistent with much of Christian history --- persecute a religious minority. This guy's opinions, however, are completely at odds with the First Amendment, and other rights that Americans' possess. This just goes to show that there is a conflict between some religious beliefs and laws like the First Amendment. I know where I stand on the issue --- on the side of liberty and the First Amendment, and America would be better off if religious bigots like this clown left for Mother Russia is he likes totalitarianism so much.
