In recent years, some of Jehovah's Witnesses have participated in mixed religious forums at some colleges and universities with representatives of other religious groups, and JWs participated in the opening ceremonies of the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Witnesses of the 1940s, 50s and 60s would NeVER have done that, explaining that they "did not sit at the table of demons."
