Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses that reside in the USA as citizens...
The 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The 14th Amendment :
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any Statedeprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The 26th Amendment states:
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
--------
In short, the Constitution prohibits any citizens from being denied the benefits of this country. The law says voting is a right, but not a must. Also, thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses have secular jobs, that deduct the same taxes each working American pays.
What else can I help you with?
Is jehovahs witnesses evil?
No, the more fanatical religions that breed cults can be though if message in misinterpreted.
Are Jehovahs Witnesses at greater risk for not accepting blood transfusions?
No!In fact, some added benefits for not accepting the blood transfusion techniques.Please see LINK below; dated July 3, 2012Not necessarily. It would depend on the circumstances. As one of the links below suggests there can be benefits from surgeons performing cardiac operations and Witnesses have been shown to have a better recovery rate.However, as another link below suggests, in different circumstances it could mean that Witnesses are at greater risk for not accepting blood.It must be stressed though, that the 'no blood' policy of Jehovah's Witnesses has nothing at all to do with any perceived risks or benefits of blood transfusions.The policy is not based on medical reasons. Even if blood was proven to be 100% safe, or 100% fatal and there were no alternatives, Witnesses would still refuse blood.
Did jehovahs witnesses ever claim to be prophets?
A Prophecy is a Divine prediction. A Prophet is one who announces the prophecy. Announcing the end is coming and going door to door in hopes of saving many, fits the criteria of being prophets. Though, no Witness has any sper natural powers given to them by god. Witnesses beleive they act with god's spirit as a power.
Are you entitled to your guardian's benefits though you are a ward of the state?
The state would be eligible to receive them as they are caruing for you while you cannot care for yourself.
Can out of wedlock child receive insurance benefits from his alleged father?
Yep, as long as it can be proven the child is his, it would have to be added to the policy though to take effect
What benefits do you receive even though you may not pay taxes?
I personally cannot think of any benefits that are conditional on paying taxes. Unless you consider not being arrested or not having your property being confiscated to be a benefit.
Can your wife receive your life insurance benefits even though she is not the beneficiary?
Ddoubt it. Why not make her the beneficiary? for more info see www.steveshorr.com/life.htm and www.steveshorr.com/estate.planning.htm
Can you look for another job while you are on workers compensation even though you don't receive benefits?
There's no harm in looking, but you found one, you'd have to clear it with the Workman's Compensation office as to whether you'd lose the benefits.
If you are laid off and will receive a compensation package will you still be able to collect unemployment?
Yes, you will still be able to receive unemployment. I am not sure if the amount of severence has anything to do with it though. I received a severence and still qualified for max unemployment benefits.
If you have twenty elderly christians in one room a new persons comes to the centre and is a Jehovahs witness how do we intergrate the new person without offending the other 20 or so people who have b?
I grew up as a Jehovahs witness and I always felt worse when people made a huge deal in making thing separate. All people are different in their beliefs and some are more strict then others, but in general Jehovahs witnesses are kind and will resectfully back away if there is anything that they feel uncomfortable with. Just talk to the person, I am sure they will let you know how they feel, and where they draw the line. For the most part though they will not take part of any holiday events and if they have been practiceing long they will be use to not being involved.
What if while unemployed you receive your bonus?
It would depend on what your particular state's regulations are concerning it. However, in most states they merely adjust your unemployment benefits for the week in which you received it. By all means, though, report receiving it so as not to jeopardize your benefits.
How do you know if incorporation is right for your small business?
You must decide for yourself if incorporation is right for your small business. There are some benefits to incorporation, though. You may receive tax benefits and can raise capital much more quickly if you incorporate your business.
