[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 14731, member: 7"] Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral, so they don't vote. This could lead to us being in unfavorable conditions if laws were passed against us, laws that they could have stopped if we had voted according to our interests (such as self-preservation). We do, however, fight in court. We have won landmark, precedent-establishing cases regarding freedom of speech. Of course, that only works when there is a law that we can use as a defense. So if we do nothing, politically, and let others extinguish us, that's fine. We'll carry on our activities in secret and risk jail, or we'll move elsewhere. We have it as a prophecy that the governments of the world will turn against religion anyway, and then the end will come. But for others who don't have such a hope, I can understand why they'd take it upon themselves to defend themselves, politically or otherwise. [/QUOTE]
