Doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses - Neutrality
As they feel that their allegiance and subjection belongs, above all, to God's Kingdom, Jehovah's Witnesses remain politically neutral. For this reason, they refrain from saluting the flag of any country. Additionally, they believe that such an act would be tantamount to worshipping an idol. Correspondingly, they do not use any images [1 John 5:21] or icons in their worship, including the symbol of the cross.
The political neutrality of Jehovah's Witnesses is also expressed by their refusal to participate in military service, even when such is of a compulsory nature, and by their detachment from secular politics. Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged, but not prohibited under all circumstances, from voting in elections. (Watchtower 1 Nov 1999. p.28) They do not run for any political office, following the example Jesus set in fleeing from those who sought to make him king. (John 6:15)Jehovah's Witnesse do not consider themselves member or citizen of any particular country. They consider themselves citizens of God's Kingdom. They consider war among the nations detestable in the eyes of God.
