Total SGC$: 318.40 |  Why Jehovah Witness Cannot Do National Service?
I am just being curious, how come Jehovah Witness guys cannot do NS and they rather spend their NS in DB? Is there any special reasons besides their religion doesn't allow? I mean, I heard that they are not allowed to kill but NS doesn't ask anyone to kill mah, so what is it that is so difficult to do leh? I think this is a very interesting topic which many like myself would like to know too. :handsup:  Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey.

First of all Jehovah Witness "fanatics" believe that not enlisting oneself is a sacred act as it avoids war and other adversion to end ones life. We see this as another form of religional cult that in such that it doesn't exploit nor endanger ones lives.
But if u put it to national interest, of course our country wouldn;t allow such things to happen. What if every guys about to enlist chaokeng declare they dont want do NS because they are jehovah's witness.
Lan Sai i tell u, say this to your accessing officer in CMPB u straight away go serve special NS with DB treatment for 3 years while your peers do the normal NS and then ORD in 2 years. Even finish 3 years you are not officially considered "ORD" personnel.:handsup: Studies is no good for health, the cure for it is to understanding of subject rather than mugging!

I believe in 1972, the government ban the Singapore Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses (SCJW) and the last I read somewhere was that their followers are thought to number between 1500 and 2000 and they have been getting themselves in trouble over their refusal to sing the national anthem or recite the national pledge. Of course the refusal to do National Service is the most serious one.
The last I heard was that the "Jehovah's Witnesses group" have been deregister in 1995 by Yong Pung How the Chief Justice then when dismissing an appeal by four Jehovah's Witnesses who had been convicted of possessing banned SCJW literature.
The following was his quote: | Quote: | | | | | ''Any organisation whose members are bound by its own rules not to do national service, whether it be Jehovah's Witnesses or a mere society to promote the playing of tiddlywinks or something else, must have to face de-registration,'' he said. A failure to act would allow the group to become ''an easy refuge for people who wish to evade national service''. | | | | | If I am not wrong, I believe that it is still legal to profess that you are a Jehovah Witness but I don't think they are allowed to share their views on their religion with us. Does anyone know anything about this? I kept getting their guys coming over to my place and knocking on the door before I threatened to call the police for harassment and then they stopped. Why can't they just take "no, I am not interested" for an answer? Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again.

Fortunately the 4 are not charged for TREASON cuz some country with military junta rules have the likelyhood to charge jehovah wannabe for that.
