Witness 007

It felt wierd voting for the first time...looking around the front car park to make sure no "brothers" were around. We went secretly at 5;50 pm just before voting closed. I'm so damn paranoid! My wife impressed me with her boldness since she still has a couple of Witness best friends. Watching political events unfold she said: "I want to have my say about community issues." She has come along way! Slowly she has "come over to the darkside." He He!

I remember feeling a little naughty the day I first voted. Congratulations!

I remember the first time I voted 3 years ago...Went to the court house and there was a long line had to wait over an hour to vote. I had an overwelming sense of pride as I waited and voted. After I voted they gave me a little sticker that said "I Voted" and I stuck it on my shirt and wore it for the rest of the day even with I went shopping...

The first time I voted was in 1995 in Florida, I voted for Pat Buchannan in the primaries, he lost to Bob Dole. The next time I voted was for Bob Dole for the presidency, he lost to Clinton. The next two presidential elections my candidate won.

I guess I wasn't always a good dubbie (ha ha) I have always voted albeit via mail, but I have always voted., don't see where they get hsi nonsense about neutrality, Jesus just said his kingdom isn't of this world his kingdom was spiritual, he didn't say don't get involved in matters that you think will or wont benefit you. Example of being in the Government Daniel and his companions, Kings, The bitchtower just wants to rule every aspect of your life and don't want you to stand up and be counted, I mean if you would vote, you might even start questioning some of the motives, desires, and actions of the unfaithful and indiscreet slave for crying out loud we can't have that. Dont think people just drink their brand of kook aid.

There have been a few topics here about voting, and, to my knowledge (and somewhat to my surprise), it turns out that voting was never a df'ing offense? Just very discouraged...and, of course, you couldn't be a servant if you did vote. LOL

On the flip side, I've gotten really discouraged about the dearth of meaningful things about which I can vote--more and more the politicians seem to be taking the really important policy-making decisions into a backroom: passing legislation on fees and charges and issues that the public never has a chance to see, until after the fact, or over which there is no voting option.

Of course, this is all presented as being in our best interests (read: you simple folks are too stupid to know what to do, so we'll just go ahead and make the decision for you).

Nevertheless, I do feel a certain delusional sense of empowerment in voting, and I will continue to do so.

I thought voting was a disfellowshipping offense back in the 1970's and 1980's, up until that WT article came along in 1999.

Congratulations on voting! Isn't it the law in Australia that you have to vote?
