Reports say the consequences of disobedience by any member includes excommunication from the church.

PM News say the directive was indeed confirmed by members of the church who claimed the order was right ‘because they are still waiting for the kingdom of God that is yet to be established on earth’.

A Jehovah’s Witness pastor, James Uduok, reportedly agreed with the directive, stating that every member of Jehovah’s Witness knows that participating in election is satanic and contrary to the will of God.

The pastor also argued that the teaching of the Witness was strongly embedded in the Bible and all members must adhere strictly to the teaching or leave the congregation.

Other members had reportedly defended the decision not to vote by quoting Mathew 6: 9 and Mathew 4: 8.

It was learnt that members of Jehovah’s Witness claim that this world belongs to Satan and insist that God’s kingdom has not yet come.

Seeking the opinion of pastor who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses, PM News reports that their responses were contrary to the teaching of the Witnesses.

Anybody wey carry something put for head na wetin dey wounjure them be that

the statement if it's true is unpatriotic , even Jesus advocated the payment of tax, performing civic duties by saying

Give unto Caeser what belongs to Caeser, i do not know where the heck there own doctrine comes from

DaBullIT:


Voting is a civic duty,If they don't want to vote, let them quit Government Jobs stop benefiting from anything the government is providing

herald9:



Jehovah's witnesses don't pay tax? Sure they do...only that they just chose to be apolitical.
Last time I checked politics is a dirty game and will always be...Any religious institution that doesn't want to go down should best steer clear.
You can see what is happening to some pastors who decided not to mind their business.

What kind of Media Institution is PM News? A very crazy one trying to score cheap Popularity I can say.


All I see in this post are nothing but lies. let me address the post systematically.




There are no reports. Jehovah witnesses right from time do not participate in elections, so tagging it to the upcoming election in Nigeria is pure lie. Also The way Preaching is carried out in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses is way different from that of other Churches. Witnesses Sunday teaching or weekly study topic all comes from the pennyslavia at the headquarters of the bethel school and arranged by the faithful and discreet slaves and prepared months before and not days too.




Lies!!!! Members were never prevented from obtaining a voters card be it temporary or permanent (I.e TVC or PVC )



Jehovah's Witnesses don't have pastors, so I don't know where PM NEWS saw one. Jehovah's witness only have elders.


Jehovah's witnesses are politically neutral and do not take part in political issues or vote. As they believe that this present governmen cannot bring Joy or happiness or peace or settle the pproblems been experienced in the world.

They believe only Jehovah's ruler ship on the new Earth can guaranty peace and no suffering.


PM news just looking to score cheap popularity. Lest I forget BWGIST might be the originator of this fake article filled of Lies.
