soviet prisoners had a VERY hard choice. Stalin's orders were to execute anyone that surrendered, or gave aid to the enemy.
Russian prisoners of war were terrified as the red army was about to liberate them. Emigres committed suicide on english docks rather then repatriated to soviet russia.
Soviet prisoners were goners one way or another.
shame on dominators.
WT reasoning: They weren't asked to do anything that violated God's law.
How does this agree with this reasoning?

The second question is: Would doing this work make one an accomplice in a condemned practice? Clearly, a person employed in a gambling den, an abortion clinic, or a house of prostitution would be an accomplice in an unscriptural practice. Even if his daily work there was merely sweeping floors or answering the telephone, he would be contributing to a practice that God’s Word condemns.
Snap! In their own words. Just like the jw men who could'my do alternative service to military conscription for all those years.
Re the Soviets, I was referring to civilians picked up by the NKVD/mgb/kgb for any of the zoodles of reasons a Soviet citizen could be sent to gulag, especially religious groups. It's absolutely awful how Stalin treated his soldiers too, and deplorable on the part of the English and Americans who forcibly repatriated them, full knowing what was going to happen to them. It was all politically motivated, like so much else.
