Several things of huge importance happened when they Society made this compromise.
1: When they first made the compromise no witness could take Alternative Service to avoid going to the Military. By 1997 when they agreed on the compromise you could.
a) They offered the deal with Bulgaria before it had came out in the pages of Watchtower. If a Witness had compromised before it was in print he or she would have been DF'd.
2: No babptizing under age children
3: No santions for having a transfusion
This deal totally blow my mind and what amazed me was I told everybody when I found out know one cared. Cognitive Dissonance
