Political neutrality

[edit]

Is petitioning the government for a Bill of Rights politically neutral?--Jeffro77 (talk) 17:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The editor likely refers to an event described on page 689 of Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimer's of God's Kingdom:
March 2, 1947, Jehovah’s Witnesses launched a nationwide campaign inviting the people of Canada to petition the government for a Bill of Rights. Over 500,000 signatures were obtained—the largest petition that had ever been presented to the Canadian Parliament! This was followed, the next year, by an even larger petition to reinforce the first one.
A 1940s Jehovah's Witness could have been jailed in Canada for no other reason than his faith. A Bible reader would likely believe Scriptures such as Esther 7:3 and Acts 28:19 to permit a persecuted person or group to petition a secular government.

'The editor' asked (16 months ago) whether petitioning the government for a Bill of Rights is politically neutral, not something about what 'a Bible reader would likely believe'. Your very late reply has not answered the question that 'the editor' asked.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. --AuthorityTam (talk) 23:51, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? You didn't answer the question that was asked. Perhaps you should volunteer in a more meaningful way.--Jeffro77 (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

antagonism with the Catholic Church in Quebec

[edit]

JWs in Quebec faced a lot of antagonism from the Catholic Church, in part because of their statements about the satanic nature of the Catholic Church. This does not justify anything, but is part of the context. Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:31, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
