Are Jehovah's Witnesses allowed to vote?

"Esto es un completo disparate. Tenemos que investigar esto con cuidado ”, comentó Vladimir Putin sobre la inclusión de los Testigos de Jehová en la lista de organizaciones extremistas. https://jw-russia.org/en/news/18121716-544.html

If a sister wore trousers to the meeting how would she be viewed?

This article from July 2018 states: If an unmarried couple spend the night together under improper circumstances, would that constitute a sin meriting judicial action? Yes, if there are no extenuating circumstances, a judicial committee would be formed on the basis of strong circumstantial evidence of sexual immorality.—1 Cor. 6:18. The body of elders carefully evaluates each situation to determine whether a judicial committee is warranted. For example: Have the couple been pursuing a romantic relationship? Have they been previously counseled regarding their conduct with each other? What circumstances led to their spending the night together? Did they plan ahead to do so? Did they have a choice in the matter, or were there extenuating circumstances, perhaps an unforeseen occurrence or genuine emergency that left them with no choice but to spend the night together? (Eccl. 9:11) What were the sleeping arrangements? Since each situation is different, there may be other relevant factors that the elders will consider. After the facts are established, the body of elders will determine whether the couple’s conduct warrants judicial action. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2018484 My questions are: What could be those improper circumstances? Is not there the "two witnesses rule" for the elders to form a judicial committee and accuse you?

Question sent in to to me.... Answer: Yes. And usually only sisters attend them.

Can you add an example of a JW Cultural Rule from YOUR area? Example Trimmed moustaches are not ok in certain areas.....and WHERE are you located? Oh it’s sorta like when you want to grow a beard, but thereÂ’s no Biblical basis for not being able to grow one, but the elders say NO simply because itÂ’s “cultural”. You mean like that?

is it ok for sisters to walk with the microphone
