With the 2015 general elections a few days away,
the leadership of the Jehovah’s Witnesses has
banned its members from casting their votes.
Members are not to participate in any electoral
process, which means they can’t vote for any
candidate or neither can they stand for any election,
PM News reports.
Jehovah’s witness members were reportedly warned
not to even obtain voter’s cards.
The punishment for anyone who goes against this
directive will be excommunication.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are against participating in
elections because they believe them to be satanic
and contrary to God’s commandment.
When members of the church were questioned, they
agreed with the directive saying they are still waiting
for the kingdom of God that is yet to be established
on earth.
They backed their decision not to participate in the
electoral process with scripture; Mathew 6:9 and
Mathew 4:8.
One of the ministers, James Uduok, explained that
every member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses knows
that participating in elections is satanic and contrary
to the will of God.
He added that the Witnesses’ teaching was strongly
embedded in the Bible and all members must
adhere strictly to the teaching or leave the
congregation.
Non-members of the church described the beliefs
and teachings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses as strange
because that same Bible mandated Christians to
respect constituted authority.
Pastor Jude Chukwurah said: “God recognises
leadership and authority of leaders in the society.”
Chukwurah added that even in ages past, there was
clamour for leaders as reported in the Bible, and the
people elected their leaders.
