    What does the image of the big "Star-Spangled Banner" in new DVD mean?

    Please watch the image of the following video, from "16:54" (16 minutes and 54 seconds) to "16:57."

    That is related to the article which I posted first in this forum.
    http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/162416/1/very-important-material

    The society is explaining nothing in that DVD regarding that image (big "Star-Spangled Banner").
    Is this for familiarizing JWs with that shocking image?

    Wow, thanks for posting that...the part 2 is a real trip!

    I'll have to pause to see it again.

    Thank you, Joliette.

    Since he (Junzo Akashi), who is the first overseer of the Japan branch, protested regarding this matter, he was disfellowshipped.

    But, in this forum, you alone replied.
    Possibly, people may not be interested in this matter. ;-)

    Thanks, Joliette.

    possible-san,

    Thanks for posting the article link! I remember in the Watchtower that showed the Advertise! speech, they cut out the flags. It's nice to see they didn't do the same thing in the video.

    Do you know where more information can be found on Junzo Akashi?

    Even today, when Jehovah’s Witnesses rent public facilities for meetings and conventions, they do not remove national symbols. But there is no evidence that the Witnesses themselves hung any flags or that they saluted them.

    The convention in 1922:

    As for this image, I painted so that people can see the "Star-Spangled Banner" well.

    So, what is your opinion?Do you agree with that material of the society, or deny/oppose it?

    I would say my own opinion, after hearing your opinion.

    Thanks.

    After hearing Nebeska Nada's opinion regarding the crap material which he quoted, I'd like to comment about Junzo Akashi.

    I think that it is well known among ex-JWs that this article is infamous in fact.
