I just learned na ang Jehovah's witness hindi sila nag pa participate o nakekealam sa election kahit nagbabayad sila ng taxes.
Bakit kaya sa INC may susuportahan?
Nangyari na ba sa kasaysayan ng INC na wala silang sinoportahan na kandidato sa election?
Iba ang Jehovah's Witnesses. May pagka-extreme.
Ang JW, hindi lang sa hindi nakikialam sa elections, bawal sa kanila na bumoto man lang sa elections. Bawal mag-comment sa kandidato, whether pro or con. Bawal mag kampanya, bawal sumuporta. Bawal bumoto sa kahit sinong kandidato.
Bawal din sa JW ang military service, whether for aggressive or defensive wars. If they are obliged by law to render military service for their country, JWs will still refuse even if they are penalized with imprisonment. Even if alternative civilian service is allowed for those who refuse military service as conscientious objectors, JWs will still refuse alternative civilian service.
Celebrating independence day - bawal. Saluting the Philippine flag - bawal. Singing the national anthem - bawal. Reciting the Panatang Makabayan - bawal. Paano kung hindi election, plebiscite lang, where you vote yes or no to ratify or reject a constitutional amendment - bawal din.
