Jehovah's witness, is singing the national anthem and saluting the national flag a form of worship?
Is it not that your group was expelled in Singapore years ago because you people discouraged it among your followers there which the Singaporean government viewed it as an act of disrespect and subversion?
We as Jehovah's Witnesses give our full allegiance, devotion, and support to God's kingdom.....NOT to the land or country in which we live, or the government ruling it. We do obey the laws and statutes of the country of our residence, and we act as good citizens by promptly and faithfully doing what is required of us (that does NOT conflict with God's laws), but that's the extent of it. We will not sing songs that extol the praises of the country or salute its flag.
