jehovah question?

Question

1.Why is jehovah witnesses ban in singapore.

Answer 1

Singapore claims that the ban on Jehovah's Witnesses is almost exclusively related to their neutrality and refusal to perform military service.

True Christianity is unique in that it has no provision for its adherents to engage in warfare. Those ostensible "Christians" who do so ignore the Scriptures and the teachings and example of Jesus Christ himself.

(Matthew 26:52) Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword

(Isaiah 2:4) They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.

(2 Corinthians 10:3-4) We do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly

(Luke 6:27-29) I [Jesus] say to you who are listening, Continue to love your enemies, to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you. To him that strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also

Answer 2

SINGAPORE (EP) - Banning Jehovah's Witnesses does not conflict with Singapore's guarantee of religious freedom, a court ruled, May 2. The court upheld fines and jail terms for seven members of the Christian cult, who were among about 70 Jehovah's Witnesses convicted following last year's crackdown. The tiny Asian nation banned Jehovah's Witnesses in 1972 because members of the cult refuse to serve in the military; Singapore government leaders say that refusal undermines the country's draft laws and endangers public order.
Chief Justice Yang Pang How did not explain his ruling. But during the trial he was openly critical of arguments advanced by defense lawyer W. Glen How of Canada, who said the ban violates the religious rights of Jehovah's Witnesses. Yang said Singapore's constitution places public order and national security above religious freedom. How called Singapore's guarantee of religious freedom a fraud. "If you're entitled to practice and propagate a belief you've got to be able to do something about it," he said. "The law cannot give something with one breath and take it away in the next." But Yang sharply criticized How, saying, "You must be out of your mind."

Singapore is a tightly governed society which favors orders over individual liberty. Under strictly enforced laws, any unlicensed meeting of five or more people constitutes an illegal assembly. Most of the Jehovah's Witnesses arrested recently were taken in raids on members' homes. Others were arrested for illegal possession of the group's publications, including Bibles published by the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 3

Jesus repeatedly told his disciples that they would be persecuted. For instance, he said: “A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me [which they certainly did], they will persecute you also.” (John 15:20; 16:2; Matthew 10:22, 23) Moreover, Christ left no doubt about the chief instigator of this persecution when saying to one of the “seven congregations”: “Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of you into prison that you may be fully put to the test.” (Revelation 1:1, 4; 2:10)

Answer 4

Probably because they don't put up with nonesense over there.

Caning in the city-state of Singapore is used as a form of judicial corporal punishment of men and boys for criminal offences.

Judicial caning was introduced to Singapore by the British when they controlled Singapore as part of their colonial empire. Thousands of male criminals are caned in Singapore each year for both violent and non-violent offences such as vandalism, overstaying one's visa or illegal immigration.

Caning is never ordered on its own, but always as an addition to a prison sentence.

The subject to be caned is strapped in a bending-over position to a metal or wooden frame. The punishment is delivered to the bare buttocks, the number of strokes being specified in the court's sentence. The rattan cane is 1.2 metres long and up to 1.27 cm thick (Prison Regulations 132(2)), i.e. considerably bigger and heavier than a school cane. The cane is soaked in water beforehand to prevent it from splitting and make it more flexible; the Prisons Department denies that the cane is soaked in brine, but notes that the cane is treated with antiseptic before use. Parts of the prisoner's body are padded to prevent accidental damaging of the kidneys and the genitals. Permanent scarring of the buttocks can occur in the case of a large number of strokes.

The punishment is carried out privately in a prison, in the presence of a prison officer and a medical officer. Contrary to widespread belief, it is never administered in public, and never has been. The caning is carried out in a single session, and not by 'installments'. Thus, a person sentenced to 24 strokes of the cane (the maximum possible sentence) will have the entire sentence carried out at once. The persons carrying out the caning are specially trained prison officers.

A smaller cane is used for juvenile offenders (boys under 16), who may be sentenced to caning only by the High Court and not by the local courts.

Answer 5

Ultimately you would have to speak with the officials in Singapore who are responsible for deciding whether or not various religions are allowed to openly preach.

Answer 6

The government there thinks, incorrectly, that J.W's are some sort of threat to their security.
But there are still brothers and sisters there witnessing the good news to the population.
It shows that they have God's approval in what they do.
Without that, they could not succeed.

Answer 7

i can't say persice but many governments ban Jehovah's witnesses, but remember Jesus said they have persecuted me they will persecute you also, so be glad.

Answer 8
