THE VOTING RIGHT |
|
I feel I must reaffirm the vital importance and necessity of the right of
voting—a sacred responsibility of which no adult recognized believer should
be deprived, unless he is associated with a community that has not as yet been
4
in a position to establish a local Assembly. This distinguishing right which
the believer possesses, however, does not carry with it nor does it imply an
obligation to cast his vote, if he feels that the circumstances under which
he lives do not justify or allow him to exercise that right intelligently and
with understanding. This is a matter which should be left to the individual
to decide himself according to his own conscience and discretion.
