hi guys,.

i have been told that a while ago there was a watchtower article that said that voting, (i'm in uk) is down to individual conscience.

i always thought it was a judicial matter.

2011 cg-E Correspondence Guidelines
pg 84 NEUTRALITY
Jehovah’s Witnesses are neutral with regard to the political and military affairs of the nations. (See Reasoning, under “Neutrality.”) The Witnesses do not interfere with what others do as to voting in political elections, running for political office, campaigning for politicians, or joining the military. (Concerning voting, see w99 11/1 28-9; see also POLITICAL ELECTIONS.)
But since true Christians are “no part of
the world,” a baptized Christian who deliberately pursues a course in violation
of Christian neutrality removes (disassociates) himself from the congregation of
Jehovah’s people.—John 15:19; 17:14-16;
1 John 2:19.
and
pg 88 POLITICAL ELECTIONS

Since Christians are no part of the world, they do not take sides in its political affairs, although they do not interfere with what other people choose to do in this regard. (John 17:16; Jas. 1:27; 4:4; 1 John 2:15) Jesus Christ set the example for his followers by declining to accept political office on earth. (Matt. 4:8-10; John 6:15; see also NEUTRALITY and EMPLOYMENT.) Early Christians avoided all political involvement. —w99 11/1 28-9; rs 269-76; g84 9/8 28; li 295-320.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING (Cont’d) pg 27
Misuse of tobacco and nonmedical use of addictive drugs: The nicotine in tobacco is clearly an addictive drug that enslaves the body and mind. Similarly, the use of other addictive drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and betel nut, for recreational purposes is enslaving and is unacceptable in the Christian congregation. (Mark 15:23; 2 Cor. 7:1) The use of addictive drugs under medical supervision,
such as for pain management, is a personal matter.
