Are you ok with JW's to NOT say it in their language??
I am guessing JW stands for Jehovah’s Witness.
You asked for my view so here it is: Jehovah’s Witnesses shouldn’t have the right to vote or serve on juries or in any other way have a say in my life.
They won’t “lift the sword” to defend me, so I would like to say “good luck” to them when they are attacked whether by criminals or by foreign despots. They pay taxes, so I suppose they are deserving of ordinary services paid for by taxes. But, I am not a damn fool, and - if it were up to me - I wouldn’t let anyone rule over me who in equally yoked with me. You see, I, too, read the Bible.
Compare our American Indians to Jehovah Witnesses. Our American Indians are among the most patriotic of all of us. So, I totally respect American Indians and the treaties by which they joined with us.
I served in the military during the Vietnam era, although not in Vietnam. The first time I was thanked for my service was at an Indian pow-wow. The Chief proudly talked of his tribe’s warrior heritage, that continues to this day. He said his two sons were among the greatest warriors of today, one a Marine and the other an Army Ranger. He invited all of us in the audience to join with the veterans of his tribe in a war dance. I was humbled and honored by that invitation.
So, for sure, I will defend my fellow citizens who are Native Americans. As for Jehovah’s Witnesses, I will tolerate them.
