If you take a look at the 1938 Watchtowers and Golden Ages (or was it Consolation?), you will find news rports dealing with the Crystal Night and protests against what happened. I don't think Bergman and the various 1934 Yearbook references etc. are relevant to what happened in 1938. The CD-Rom will not cover it, because it covers the 1950-onwards Watchtowers and the 1960-onwards Awakes. If you manage to acquire the original 30s Watchtowers, you will see the articles dealing with this.

Need help: JW and Crystal Night 1938
by Atreyu inat june 24, the former editor of "bergens tidende", the main newspaper of bergen, norway, wrote an article about jw versus nazi-germany.
obviously, he has recently seen one of the videos from wts about the issue.
the article stated that jw was the only church that raised their voice in protest against the "crystal night" in 1938, when the nazis ravaged jewish synagoges, shops and homes and sent thousands of jews to consentration camps.

Agreeing with you, D Wiltshire. While I'm a "no-blood"er myself, for my religious reasons, I think it should be the right of everyone within the congregational framework of the WBTS to make their own decision, and then let God have the "final word" in stead of human go-betweeners.

Don't need a sailing boat, either. Last year, we were fishing from a very small outboard motor-boat some few hundred metres off the coast of North-Western Norway, and then a flock of some 10 of these whales came down the strait where we were. As JanH said, and I think this is the second time in history I have to agree with him on anything, if we were to exagerate a bit, you cannot miss seeing them if you manage to lift your eyes above the beer-glass and look out at the open sea.

Actually, the government is very right-wing; it has been years since there was some "radicalism" to the earlier left-wing governments, and at the last elections, the right-wing parties won; presently, the two right-wing parties in the polls are larger than the centrist "left-wing" party, too.
And, the debate is about ONE species of whales, and that species is not threatened. I am no supporter of whaling myself, but when Americans discuss the issue, balanced arguments seem to be non-present. The problem when whales and seals are not hunted for, is that they eat up all the fish resources, and then die because of starvation, as happened to tens of thousands of seals some years ago. Not a very pretty sight, either, seals cubs starving. Or sea birds' cubs or what they are called, starving.
Living in cities makes you forget where the neatly packaged pounds of flesh originate, doesn't it?

I haven't heard that one, plum, but I sent Schroeder of the GB a written question prior to his having a "questions and answers" meeting here some years ago, and I asked about the dinosaurs, and his reply was that they were so big, because when they died, their carcasses would mean a lot of food for the other animals ...........

I don't know, ISP, I don't know ..... BUT, I am slowly, but surely falling down on the "local, but real big" side. I see so many problems in the recent global flood picture. I could accept a global flood, by all means, and perhaps there was one, but it could no way have been so recent. If it had been a million years ago, fine - but 4,500 years ago? no way. The sea-living animals remains way up in the mountains don't impress me in this respect. I see a number of problems with a recent global flood: Animal migration - how on earth could the sloths have reached it to Madagascar? or tapirs to Amazonas? or worms spread all over within a few years, as they had to in order to help out as the vegetation? - human migration - how could Pyramids and huge cities in the Ganges area etc. have been built a couple of hundred years after only 8 people climbed out? - the continental drift - hot spots - huge mountains - etc. etc.
When we read in the Acts that "the whole world" had been reached with the Gospel in the first century, WBTS is quick in saying that "this of course refers to the then-known world", meaning the Middle East / Asia Minor primarily. Why can they not apply the same understanding to the floods covering "the whole earth"? It would make everything so much easier. Recent Awake articles tell us that the Pyramids were built 2,500 years BC. - OK, that is in contrast with their own flood teaching. If you ask them, they reply that they are only repeating what many scientists claim, and do not want to comment on it.
I think they are slowly sliding into the readers the possibility that it was not global, but the change is so slow that it would take our entire lifetime till it's changed.
A friend of mine, an elder, told me he did not believe in a global one, that it was local, and he did not want to give talks where the flood was one of the topics, and never replied when questions referring to it were asked at WT studies etc. So it's drifting in a sense that this ain't holding water ...............

No, he didn't, truthseeker1 - he just had a few species, but after they went out and the canopy had disappeared and the Sun shone more directly on each and everyone, then mutations were not harmful after all and they multipled into the millions of species we see today, so that there for example originally in the Ark was just one species of the cat family but ooops! after 50 years there were 100 species but then mutations had became harmful and no instrument in the multipling of the species no more and so all we see today as respects the millions of species really came about only within a handfull of years after the Deluge.
I always had problems with that - and still have ....................
