God’s Kingdom Rules!, “Chapter 13: Kingdom Preachers Take Their Case to Court”

2014 · p.145 · par. 34 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Jehovah’s Witnesses are not prominent or influential. We do not vote, support political campaigns, or lobby politicians.”

The sentence appears in an argument about why the organisation’s legal victories are remarkable. It is the corporate description of Witnesses fifteen years after voting became a matter of personal conscience.
