I have been reading it.The first point made is showing how through letters, tracts, personal testimony, the WTS tried to ameliorate their relationship with the Nazi government by pointing out that the WTS agreed with the German government that the US and UK were evil governments, controlled by the Jews. Basically, that the WTS and the Nazi government had common enemies and that the WTS supported the overall goals of the Nazi government to bring about better conditions for humans. From the JW 1934 Yearbook, page 134-5, these are excerpts of a letter sent to Hitler by the WTS, penned by Rutherford:
The Golden Age, March 10, 1937, p. 362
The Golden Age, March 10, 1937, p. 366.
The greatest and the most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city of New York which says: The Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills.
The present government of Germany has declared emphatically against Big Business oppressors and in opposition to the wrongful religious influence in the political affairs of the nations. Such is exactly our position.
Instead of being against the principles advocated by the government of Germany, we stand squarely for such principles, and point out that Jehovah God through Christ Jesus will bring about the full realization of these principles and will give to the people peace and prosperity and the greatest desire of every honest heart.
A careful examination of our books and literature will disclose the fact that the very high ideals held and promulgated by the present national government are set forth in and endorsed and strongly emphasized in our publications and show that Jehovah God will see to it that these high ideals in due time will be attained by all persons who love righteousness[?]
At first in 1974, the WTS, tried to say that the branch servant, Balterzeit, weakened the text of this letter:Yearbook 1974 p.111Many in attendance were disappointed in the "declaration," since in many points it failed to be as strong as the brothers had hoped. Brother Mütze from Dresden, who had worked closely with Brother Balzereit up until that time, accused him later of having weakened the original text. It was not the first time that Brother Balzereit had watered down the clear and unmistakable language of the Society's publications so as to avoid difficulties with governmental agencies.
A large number of brothers refused to adopt it just for this reason. In fact, a former pilgrim brother by the name of Kipper refused to offer it for adoption and another brother substituted. It could not be rightfully said that the declaration was unanimously adopted, even though Brother Balzereit later notified Brother Rutherford that it had been?
?the declaration had been weakened and many of the brothers could not wholeheartedly agree to its adoption?
But then in 1998 after information had appeared on the Internet and from other challenges to the 1974 WTS statements, saying that copies of the Declaration in English were essentially the same in the German version, the WTS says this:Awake! July 8, 1998 page 14According to the account in the 1974 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, some German Witnesses were disappointed that the language of the "Declaration" was not more explicit in tone. Had the branch office manager, Paul Balzereit, weakened the text of the document? No, for a comparison of the German and the English texts shows that this is not the case. Evidently, an impression to the contrary was based on the subjective observations of some who were not directly involved in the preparation of the "Declaration." Their conclusions may also have been influenced by the fact that Balzereit renounced his faith only two years later.
And trying to dig out from under their 1934 statement regarding the Jews:Awake! July 8, 1998 page 14 ***[regarding the 1934 statement about no "money contributed to our work by Jews" and "commercial Jews of the British-American empire?exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations"]This statement clearly did not refer to the Jewish people in general, and it is regrettable if it had been misunderstood and has given cause for any offense.
http://quotes.watchtower.ca/nazi_conciliation.htmSecond point, after being rebuffed by the Nazi government, then Rutherford penned publications saying that the Nazi government was controlled by Satan and had the German JWs flood Germany from door to door with tracts and resolutions attacking the Nazi government. That led to increased persecution of the German JWs. Rutherford had them do this several times, until in some areas no JWs were free. Not quite being neutral, eh?The Golden Age, March 10, 1937, p. 362
