  Yesterday, Gorby voted for the Dutch parliaments election. For the second time in 2 year. Reason of my voting is taking my responsibility as a citizin. The far right party's seemed so populair that I had to take a stand against it! Second: a question of readers in a 1999 or so Watchtower sad that voting for a JW is a concious matter. So:

  I voted at a public place. I hope someone noticed me ((:

  So, nobody can say that no JW will vote. Cause I did.

  Watchtower sad that voting for a JW is a concious matter.

  Conscious matter, yes. Voting does however indicate that you are no longer "neutral" in the affairs of the "World" and thus by your actions that you no longer consider yourself as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. (Announcement to be made if verified by two witnesses. No JC required.)
