Currently we have over Over 5M Jehovah witness members across the nation. Jehovah witness are very good and enlightening people, well trained and well educated.

I always love to read Jehovah witness Awake books which always shows us how to cope with today’s problems and builds confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world.

But with all thier enlightenment with the technology, science, word of God, I have never see them engage in politics or discuss with you how to move a nation forward.

So despite all people are going through in this nation, I have never hear or see any Jehovah witness condemn or commend... They don't border about voting or participate in politics.

Why dear JW in the house, can you please show us Maybe you guys are see what others don't see?

You are wrong.

There are not upto 5M Jehovah's Witnesses Nigeria.

They should be slightly above 300k.

They don't believe in the present system of government and therefore do not sing the national anthem nor vote in an election.

It is quite an irony when you realize that even though they don't vote, they still enjoy or suffer from the policies implemented by the government.

Even Jehovah's Witnesses have seen shege during this Buhari's government.

The suffer touch everybody.

The jw engage in actions that will make a nation move forward na!
It is just when it comes to getting involved they exercise their right to abstain because they do not believe that any elected government is a representation of a good government.for example,imagine a government passing gay laws on the people

I agree. With due respect to their faith, I disagree with their (and not just them, some other faith that think they don't belong to this world and it's system) stance. They stand aloof when the work is being done and benefit when the innovations/developments are introduced.

Matthew 6;33,34
Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you. 34 So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its troubles.☺️

What is it that you do in political positions? In all, I think it's to make a better country by good governance, we do the same but we seek his kingdom for the better sake of mankind

Our work on earth is to preach the good news (God's kingdom) to all inhabitant Earth, which should be the most important thing to do, that's what Jesus instructed his disciples to do, and we will do just so.

Because jw faith categories all earthly government as an uneventful downward step to chaos!
So they would rather raise concerns and publish books.if people take heed fine.if not fine as well but they make sure things like education,skill acquisition,getting good income and necessity of life are instilled in their members

But I am interested in his the jw in the USA and Canada are dealing with the messed up children education set up and mad laws.
In Canada a child can come back home and from he to she or she to it.

You are wrong dear...

Because it’s the easiest way to be your own government

They are apolitical and believe they are a part of the heavenly kingdom not the flawed kingdoms of men.

Well their stance is actually scriptural on this one.
Jesus Christ also didn’t care about the politics and politicians of his day. He was focused on the church and the kingdom of God in mens hearts.

We are talking about politics in governance though. They don’t recite national anthems too. Same reason.

Go to their website and check.

Total JWs world wide is not less than 8M members.

So how can 5M be in Nigeria alone?

Reason am

Am one of Jehovah's witnesses. We remain politicaly neutral because we believe in accordance with the Bible that human rulers can't solve human problems.

Jesus said we should pray for God's kingdom to come because that's the only solution to mankind problems.

Jesus focuses on preaching the good news of the kingdom and we are doing same.

We take payment of tax and others dues and obligations to government seriously. We obey government laws that are not in contrary to God's laws like fighting during wars.

Despite this our stance we respect others people's choice and decisions on political matters. That's why we don't mostly talk politics.

Our principal stated that he/his disciples are not part of the world.

He rejected political positions of his days and focuses on the good news of the kingdom, we as well try our very best to imitate him and do as he said.

Thanks 🙏

Jehovah’s Witnesses—Who Are We?

We come from hundreds of ethnic and language backgrounds, yet we are united by common goals. Above all, we want to honor Jehovah, the God of the Bible and the Creator of all things. We do our best to imitate Jesus Christ and are proud to be called Christians. Each of us regularly spends time helping people learn about the Bible and God’s Kingdom. Because we witness, or talk, about Jehovah God and his Kingdom, we are known as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

What do Jehovah's witnesses believe?

As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we strive to adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.

God

We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator, whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:​11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.​—Exodus 3:6; 32:11; John 20:17.

Bible.

We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:​16) We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.” Professor Jason D. BeDuhn aptly described it when he wrote that Jehovah’s Witnesses built “their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.” a

While we accept the entire Bible, we are not fundamentalists. We recognize that parts of the Bible are written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be understood literally.​—Revelation 1:1.

Jesus

We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:​31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.​—John 14:28.

The Kingdom of God

This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians. It will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:​44; Matthew 6:​9, 10) It will take these actions soon, for Bible prophecy indicates that we are living in “the last days.”​—2 Timothy 3:​1-5; Matthew 24:​3-​14.

Jesus

Jesus is the son of God. He is the King of God’s Kingdom in heaven. —Revelation 11:15.

Salvation

Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 4:​12) To benefit from that sacrifice, people must not only exercise faith in Jesus but also change their course of life and get baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 3:​16; Acts 3:​19, 20) A person’s works prove that his faith is alive. (James 2:​24, 26) However, salvation cannot be earned​—it comes through “the undeserved kindness of God.”​—Galatians 2:​16, 21.

Heaven

Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm. b (Psalm 103:19-​21; Acts 7:​55) A relatively small number of people​—144,000​—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.​—Daniel 7:​27; 2 Timothy 2:​12; Revelation 5:​9, 10; 14:​1, 3.

Earth

God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4) God will bless obedient people with perfect health and everlasting life in an earthly paradise.​—Psalm 37:11, 34.

Evil and suffering

These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:​44) This angel, who after his rebellion was called “Satan” and “Devil,” persuaded the first human couple to join him, and the consequences have been disastrous for their descendants. (Genesis 3:​1-6; Romans 5:​12) In order to settle the moral issues raised by Satan, God has allowed evil and suffering, but He will not permit them to continue forever.

Death

People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:​5, 10) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment.

God will bring billions back from death by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) However, those who refuse to learn God’s ways after being raised to life will be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection.​—Revelation 20:14, 15.


Family

We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:​4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.​—Ephesians 5:22–​6:1.

Our worship

We do not venerate the cross or any other images. (Deuteronomy 4:​15-​19; 1 John 5:​21) Key aspects of our worship include the following:

1. Praying to God.​—Philippians 4:6.

2. Reading and studying the Bible.​—Psalm 1:​1-3.

3. Meditating on what we learn from the Bible.​—Psalm 77:12.

4. Meeting together to pray, study the Bible, sing, express our faith, and encourage fellow Witnesses and others.​—Colossians 3:​16; Hebrews 10:23-​25.

5. Preaching the “good news of the Kingdom.”​—Matthew 24:14.

6. Helping those in need.​—James 2:​14-​17.

7. Constructing and maintaining Kingdom Halls and other facilities used to further our worldwide Bible educational work.​—Psalm 127:1.

8. Sharing in disaster relief.​—Acts 11:27-​30.


Our organization

We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders. However, the elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23:cool We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations.

The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarters, provides direction for Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.​—Matthew 24:45.

Our unity

We are globally united in our beliefs. (1 Corinthians 1:​10) We also work hard to have no social, ethnic, racial, or class divisions. (Acts 10:34, 35; James 2:4) Our unity allows for personal choice, though. Each Witness makes decisions in harmony with his or her own Bible-trained conscience.​—Romans 14:​1-4; Hebrews 5:​14.

Our conduct

We strive to show unselfish love in all our actions. (John 13:34, 35) We avoid practices that displease God, including the misuse of blood by taking blood transfusions. (Acts 15:28, 29; Galatians 5:​19-​21) We are peaceful and do not participate in warfare. (Matthew 5:9; Isaiah 2:4) We respect the government where we live and obey its laws as long as these do not call on us to disobey God’s laws.​—Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:​29.

Our relationships with others.

Jesus commanded“You must love your neighbor as yourself.” He also said that Christians “are no part of the world.” (Matthew 22:39; John 17:16) So we try to “work what is good toward all,” yet we remain strictly neutral in political affairs and avoid affiliation with other religions. (Galatians 6:​10; 2 Corinthians 6:​14) However, we respect the choices that others make in such matters.​—Romans 14:12.

Every true christian ought to be like the JW. Politics is a blood and energy harvesting system by the satanists. Your politicians are not humans like you and I,they are demonic Satan worshippers who are keeping us distracted and divided. There is no red or blue party, each of the parties are working in harmony to bring about Satan's lawlessness and godlessness. No one is coming to save you except Jesus. Every Christians should not be yoked with the things of this world. They can never vote themselves out of Satan's grip upon the nations. No politicians will save you, they are working deceptions in order to give you false hopes about this fallen earth that can never be salvage except Jesus. This earth is Satan's play thing, and we must learn to avoid his deceptions.
