7 More than 50 years ago, in the booklet entitled Religion Reaps the Whirlwind, Jehovah’s Witnesses exposed Christendom’s involvement with politics.* What was said then applies with equal force today: “Honest investigation of the conduct of the religious clergy of all denominations will reveal that the religious leaders of all ‘Christendom’ are participating with keen interest in the politics of ‘this present evil world’ and are dabbling in its mundane affairs.”
7 Zaidi ya miaka 50 iliyopita, katika kijitabu Religion Reaps the Whirlwind, Mashahidi wa Yehova walifichua kujihusisha kwa Jumuiya ya Wakristo na siasa.* Yale yaliyosemwa wakati huo yanatumika kwa nguvu sawa leo: “Uchunguzi wa unyoofu wa mwenendo wa makasisi wa kidini wa madhehebu yote utafunua. kwamba viongozi wa kidini wa ‘Jumuiya ya Wakristo’ yote wanashiriki kwa kupendezwa sana na siasa za ‘ulimwengu huu mbovu wa sasa’ na wanajiingiza katika mambo yao ya kawaida.”
