I guess the WT's own Awake magazine must be lying then: Quote edited to make the point.
*** g 6/08 p. 11 When Is Self-Defense Justified? ***
When You Are Threatened
Pursuing peace does not guarantee that you will never face violent attack. If confronted by an armed robber, a wise person will not resist giving up his valuables. Surely, life is far more precious than belongings!
On the other hand, what if a person’s life is threatened by an assailant?
The Bible. . .indicates that a person may defend himself or his family if physically assaulted. He. . .even may strike a blow to stun or incapacitate him. The intention would be to neutralize the aggression or stop the attack. This being the case, if the aggressor was seriously harmed or killed in such a situation, his death would be accidental and not deliberate.
No sane person would go seeking trouble, however IF it comes I for one will be goddamned if I just roll over and let serious harm or death come to myself or family members! WT be damned if they expect that!
