    THEOCRATIC WAR STRATEGY! He would tell brothers biblically they cant join the army.....and interested people that Jehovah would not allow it!

    During the Vietnam war I asked the Society for assistence with my Court case.

    Nadda, zilch. Off to prison I went.

    Designs, this reminds me of a story an ex CO told once. When he was facing prison for Not going to Vietnam, he kept asking why he couldn't take a desk job. He received an assortment of reasonings but nothing solid. One winner of an explanation was that, "No worshiper of Jehovah should be in a uniform of any kind!" Well my buddy responded, "Well a janitor can have a uniform."

    Without any solid reasoning or explanations, he still went to prison.

    Would love a scan or this article. 'Tell others' is too general. If they asked, "Would you tell other JWs'...than that would be a lie.

    I`ve heard it before..

    "All JW`s have a Choice..Whether they make the right choice is up to them..The right choice is what the WBT$ decides.."

    It`s all Bullshit..

    If you want to remain a JW..You do as the WBT$ demands..

    .................OUTLAW

    "No, it's for them to decide" isn't really an answer to the question.

    The judge wasn't asking whether this Witness would decide for others, but how he would advise those who were making the decision.

    A better question would have been something like, "What would you tell someone who was considering joining the army?"

    Absolutely disgraceful - more lying to the public!

    It's for them to decide. Go, and you face houndings, being marked as bad association, and having your life ruined by the witlesses.

    I'd like to see a full transcript of this court case - that'd be my 1st question to any JW who offered me this magazine at the door.

    "Does the publisher of this magazine cite the source document for this quotation?" If not why not.... etc....

    Of course the Walsh Trial transcript where Franz and Covington admit enforced acceptance of false prophesy is preferable over disunity is available....
