JEHOVAH'S Witnesses will support the Government of the day while it remains neutral on political issues.

Speaking at the just ended three-day Lusaka district convention yesterday, convention spokesperson Joseph Kunda said the church would support certain policies of the current Government.

"The church will remain submissive to Government by paying taxes and will support certain policies but will not engage itself in politics," Mr Kunda said.

They will support the policies that include punishing rapists and molesters, allowing freedom of religion and stuff like that.

Nosferatu

Sounds like the WT in Africa are being forced to pay taxes and do charity work.

Intersting that NGOs were mentioned.

Anyway, I think they mean support by giving Caeser's things to Caeser. They recognize and obey, but will remain neutral in politics.

If you aren't trying to overthrow the government and you obey the laws, then I guess you can say you support the government.

Typical double speak of the WTS. We recognize governments and obey, but God's still gonna destroy you. Nyaah.
