my saturday morning routine...sitting down with a cup of coffee to catch up on facebook happenings.

over the past year my list of friends has dwindled since being disfellowshiped.

not suprising, of course.

Is Pacifism Ethical?
by cofty in

in another thread about things the watchtower got right two posters have expressd agreement with the fact that the wt refuses to take part in war.. i don't want to derail that thrread so what's your thoughts on pacifism?.

personally i think there are times that killing your enemies is regrettably the lesser of two evils.. .

edited to add - this link may help in defining various shades of pacifism.

Jgnat,
I think at that time what mattered was what role or responsibility a brother had in the congregation. Those with Priveleges aka responsibilities, those who could be considered ministers in secular terms were more likely to be approved as Conscientious Objectors, I think the R&F were more likely to get shipped off. Or a arrested. The Vietnam war was serious S@#t in the US.
