Voting is a constitutional right of every citizen, most especially in a democratic form of government.
Jehovah’s Witnesses totally RESPECT this arrangement and they never cause any problems or obstacles for other people to freely exercise their right.
However, JWs around the world have decided to VOTE not for HUMAN government but GOD's government in HEAVEN



Jehovah’s Witnesses maintain their worldwide unity by remaining neutral for religious reasons. As many of you are aware politics is a great divider of nations and creates a huge disunity even among close friends.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are following the example of Jesus and his Apostles in remaining neutral in politics.
Jesus refused one of the highest positions in any government. Jehovah’s Witnesses follow this patternsad“John 6:15)
Early Christians were loyal to God’s Kingdom. So are Jehovah’s Witnessessad2 Corinthians 5:20)
Stop taking like a religous zombie void of any sense...
Allowing such teachings to propagate will lead to widespread political apathy which reduces national development
Any country can ban such movements
How can you tell people that it is right not to participate in the political matters that determine how well the society and economy will be during that political tenure?
I am 17 yet I don't know how adults can be stupid all in the name of religion

This Christianity that u people carry for head anyhow,doesn't it sound wrong to you that God allows one church to participate in political activities while He tells another not to?
Don't u guys realised that the churches of today invent doctrines to actualize their leaders selfish desires?
How can humans(including the well educated ones) be so gullible?

Russia's government under Putin is not too different from the Chinese communist party.
If you're enjoying democracy as it should be, better thank God and seek to protect it at all costs. I have never seen any JW group that is forceful or violent. They won't force you to become their members, yet they're proscribed.
Anyway, time and time again, persecution ends up strengthening the church
While I think Russia's ban may be extreme,still you don't have to carry a gun for you to be pernicious.
For example,blood loss is the leading cause of maternal death.

Can you guarantee that Blood transfusion saves life?

Be careful of their planned arguments. Na because na Nigeria. Other developed countries are now carrying out bloodless treatments because of the side effects and dangers of blood transfusion. But here in Nigeria, they are so so backward.

Fact check: How many Jehovah's Witnesses have died because they refused blood?

How many non Witnesses are dying even after taking the blood.

My experience: Nigerian doctors will treat you without blood. But if you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, they won't even bother. That's the truth.

Putin wants to be the next world power. But Jehovah's Witnesses according to the Bible are saying the present Anglo American world power will be the last word power in reference to that vision that Daniel saw.

So, the reason Putin hate Jehovah's Witnesses is so obvious.

Does that make a group that refuse to carry arms and kill people an extremist?

JW’s also do not take up arms for other scriptural admonitions to be peaceable.We understand that learning how to kill and going to war to actually kill is at odds with Christian love.

Our Bible trained conscience didn't permit and it's unthinkable that a true Christian, obeying the authorities, grips a gun, aims at a stranger and blows his brains off.
The stranger could be our brother or sister in FAITH.

And it's not a question of cowardice. Many of us are imprisoned, tortured and even killed because of our unique faith as it is going on in RUSSIA currently and other countries

Is like you're not getting it. Russia is a communist state. Reach out to your brothers in China and get their own story.

A JW in U.S joined the Military as a combat medic, and even went to the war front.
He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions in Guam and the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving 75 men, becoming the only conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the war.

Kindly Google about those that was infected with dangerous diseases through blood transfusion. The world is confuse that they can't deferentiat between good and evil.
Google those that have choked and died while eating, does that mean we should stop eating?

Google those that have died from drug reactions does that mean we should stop taking drugs?

Google those that have died from natural disaster, does that mean we should all run away from the earth?

Few have died from infections and complications of blood transfusion compared to millions that have been saved with transfusion of blood and blood products.

How is the WatchTower Governing Body- 8-Men Realtors different from the Russian government? Destroying families through Shunning and Disfellowshipment and practically refusing fathers from talking to even their disfellowshiped children or family members.

Guys, don't fall for this cheap propaganda against the Russian government by the JW organization, a cult mind control group posing as a Christian group. Do you know how many suicides have happened as result of this shunning and disfellowship evil practices by the JW self appointed rulers called the Governing Body?!!

Do you know how many lives have been donated by the JW organization to Satan by refusing the sanctity of life by many who would have been saved by blood transfusion while they engage in anti-government propaganda everywhere to claim otherwise.

How many of you remember the live of that JW girl that was saved as a result of the Lagos State government that the cult mind control group, JW calls evil forcefully using the law to save that girl through blood transfusion:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/lasg-jehovahs-witnesses-clash-over-blood-transfusion-for-baby/%3famp

Imagine, if Lagos State government had not done their part to save that life using the Lagos State government laws. That girl would have sent to Hell by the JW organization, a satanic charlatan lying organization sending many to Hell while claiming victim. This is the kind of thing that they do to the Russia government. Their propaganda no be today. I will show you guys. They castigate Christendom, acted like they castigated Hitler and Nazi while their sole discreet god and slave, Judge Rutherford was writing secret letters to Hitler and was a Jew Hater himself appluading Hitler.

How do you explain that?

What has that got to do with JW doctrine? Besides, you need to provide proof of your claims (simply for informative purposes). They seem superficial.

JW forbid military service and allegiance to the state. This is widely known and not denied even by the JW. See below,
