Jehovah's Witnesses are well known for being 100% diligent in paying their taxes. Romans. 13:7. Mark 12:17. From which in many countries government welfare comes from. So if they qualify for welfare for some reason. ( such as retirement etc. ) Then they have no qualms about accepting welfare payments.

Hope this answers your question logically and scripturally?

It would depend on the occasion. If you are giving as a wedding present, anniversary gift, baby shower gift, graduation, retirement - or just because you want to give a gift... these are acceptable. However, if they in celebration of a holiday that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate - it would be inappropriate for you to give one.

They don't. The death of a loved one is always a painful experience, Jehovah's Witnesses, like anyone are totally devestated when a loved on is murdered. Unfortunately they recognise violent crimes as a part of life so they look to God for comfort.


Should you give a card to a Jehovah's witness for the birth of their child?

Yes you can give a witnesses a card; whether the witnesses will chose to accept it will depend on several factors. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays (or other celebrations they deem as 'pagan') if this has previously been explained the witness may or may not choose to accept the card if it is for one of these occassions. He or she may accept the card in the spirit it was given, explaining the above or may chose not to accept the card. If the card is for another occassion that the witnesses finds unobjectionable they will likely accept it with thanks.

What groups will support a totalitarian government?

It will likely be the groups that already rely heavily upon their government. People who are on welfare or other government assistance. While they may not support the potential control of their everyday lives, it may be easier for them to accept total government control of the economy. There are some groups who already wish for a totalitarian form of government, so they will be happy with it. Those who are disheartened and see no hope without government intervention will also likely by supportive of total government control.
