‘Witnesses’ Claim
Rights by Not
Breaking US Laws
Submit reply to letter
published last week;
claim flag respect
Having read the article published
concerning Jehovah’s Witnesses in
last week's paper, we desire to ex
press the following and ask that the
same be published in fairness to all
concerned.
Jehovah’s witnesses are not a sect,
but sincere followers of Christ Jesus
who is their leader; therefore they
follow no man.
We are citizens of this nation and?
obey all just laws of the nation
which do not conflict with the su-‘
preme law of Almighty God.
We as American citizens have our
rights of freedom of speech, worship
and press, etc., as defined in the Bill
of Rights and the 14th Amendment
of the U. S. Constitution. Therefore
we are rightly entitled to the pro
tecton of the law and this was re
cently stated 'by a representative of
Attorney General Biddle over a net
work of southern radio stations.
Note, please, that if all the people‘
of Amm'ica had the belief and faith
of Jehovah’s Witnesses they would
have no fear of other nations but
woud be protected by the Supreme
Powers. It is written at Psalms 33:12
“Blessed is the nation whose God is
the Lord; and the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance.
The bible states also at Joshua 10:14
“that the Lord fought for Israel, be
cause they were his people and put
their trust in Him.”
. As to the japs and nazis, surely
true citizens of this democracy would
not copy their totalitarian ways of
using force to prevent the worship
of the Most High and the procla
mation of His New World of Right:
eousness. Surely also vigilante com
mittees are not required and mob
rule is entirely in opposition to dem
ocratic principles symbolized «by our
ﬂag. Concerning the flag, read our.
pledge: “I have pledged my un-'
qualified allegiance and devotion to
Jehovah, the Amighty God, and to
‘his kingdom, for whidh Jesus com
mands all Christians to pray. I re
spect th flag of the United States
and acknowledge it as a symbol or
'freelom and justice to all. I pledge
allegiance and obedience to all the
laws of the United States that are
consistent with Gods’ law as set
forth in the bible.”
This should be sufficient for anys
one to see that after all we “wit-i
nesses”.are respectful to the ﬂag;
and that respect is shown by being
law-abiding, not by a mere wave of
the arm. PleaSe see the United Press
item in Jan? 29 issue of the Seattle
'Times entitled “Flag Salute Refusal
{Oll, Says Court,” which is appro
priate now. \.
Also note that Jehovah’s witnesses
do fight, not in present worldy wars
but in support of freedoms on the
“home front" and in advancement
of the Theocratic Government of
Jehovah God.
Those who are open minded will
not the prejudiced 'by false reports
concerning our activities and beliefs
but will read and find the truth for
themselves.
Respectfully ' submitted, Kenne
wick Company Servant, Edward G.
fSy-mms; Kennewick Assistant Com
pany Servant, James 0 Webster.

given an opportunity to prepart for‘
the start of rationing. Also the
public must all be registered forl
58001: 'No. 2, be notified of the actual

time to study them and budget their

Next 'f‘hursday night residents of I
this area will have an opportuniay
of hearing a grand entertainment

wanis will donate their share of the

pared some special numbers for the
program which will have other in-|
tesresting numbers of variety. There!
will he solos, duets. quartets and!
vocal numbers as well as help from
the high school glee club. It should;
be an interesting program for any
one who endoys music. .
Mr. English says his junior band:
will be an outstanding one in a'
couple years. as the youngsters are
taking unusual interest and his
instrumentation will be far better!
balanced. He says the Kennewick‘
band will be right in the front ranks
of sohool bands in the entire Pacific
Northwest. _ ‘
