NEUTRALITY
see also
HONOR TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
IMPRISONMENT
POLITICAL ELECTIONS
True Witnesses do not interfere with what others do as to voting in political elections, running for political office, campaigning for politicians, or joining the military. Jehovah’s Witnesses are neutral with regard to the political and military affairs of the nations.
A baptized Christian who deliberately pursues a course in violation of Christian neutrality removes (disassociates) himself from the congregation of Jehovah’s people.
