Fine Goph, but I am just saying--IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
Even if they get rid of that...that's not the only issue with it, and they know that

The American corporation I work for, has all it's employees take the pledge worldwide, including me. This is before I spend an afternoon next week learning how to accept and understand gay issues.
Can you sense, I'm starting to get a little tense?

"It's disgusting to have forced obidence and subjection on any level..."
Thats exactly what this country was supposed to be all about in the first place. I totally agree.
This is my country and I love my country as much as anyone else here. But if someone attempts to tell me what I have to do in order to prove it to them, then they don't belong here and need to get the f**k out. I don't care how many flags they salute or if they have more relatives that died in wars then I have.
How many folks in the US have the American flag hanging on their living room wall and salute it every morning before breakfast?
As far as jw's go and there outlook on this. I would expect them to see it as a sign of the times, the true beginning of a chain of events that will separate church and state. Then after that they will wait for the time when everyone will be given a choice. Church OR State.

Amazing
When we say the Pledge, we are pledging to a Flag, a piece of cloth with sybolic design. We are not pledging to the Nation or the Constitution. The whole pledge concept is nonsense anyway, even though I am conservative. I say that we need to make it totally politically and culturally neutral:
NEW POLITICALLY CORRECT PLEDGE:
"I pledge allegiance to something, whatever it is that I believe or do not believe in, of the United States of America or whatever we might call ourselves from time to time, and to the Republic or Democracy, or Communist or Socialistic or whatever kind of State we might have from time to time, for which it might stand, whatever that is; One Nation, or whatever type of corporate or social entity we may choose to have from time to time in accordance with whatever collective consensus we may or may not have in place, under something, be it a god or no god, whomever she/he/it might be or not be, but some kind of force or higher power, however we individually interpret that high power; indivisible or divisible however we choose to define unity or division, with liberty, or some variation thereof, in accordance with our mutual consent; and justice, however that my be defined to mean to each person or by majority vote, for all, whatever "all" might mean, i.e. "all people" in this legal entity, or "all people who pass through as visitors," and/or "animals" and "plants" however we determine sentient species."
Amen!!!

The constitution states that the government is for the people by the people that no one can force a public servant to take a religious vow of any kind so I would have to go with the mention of God in a political pledge is unconstitutional. lol Amazing
