Jehovah's Witnesses and the flag salute. I was born into the Jehovah's Witnesses in 1957.I was the good little JW boy who got beaten up in the school yard for not saluting the flag and remaining seated for the national anthem as demanded by my defiant Jehovah's Witnesses leaders. This was the better dead than red era of the 1960’s, and a kid not doing the act stood out big. I suffered much,only to learn that the Watchtower corporation is just another made up man-made religion. My JW leaders *forced* *compelled* me NOT to salute the flag,I wasn't given any option.If I wavered I would be severely punished by my parents and struck down by God at Armageddon. Kids suffer because of made-up rules by Jehovah's Witnesses leaders,senile old holy men sequestered in their insulated ivory tower. My point is:Jehovah's Witnesses claim 'neutrality' that is false as they DO try to force their convictions on others. --Danny Haszard FMI dannyhaszard(dot)com
