law enforcement officers are required to take the same Oath at appointment.
I remember taking my one and only Elders school in 1977 and there was a Illinois State trooper in the class. I privately asked one of the instructors to explain how a gun carrying, police officer, who was sworn to uphold Caesar's laws could be an elder, let alone a JW. How does that look- preaching the peace of God's Kingdom on Sunday and then carrying a gun and arresting someone for violating a Govt law on Monday? All I got was a bunch of humms and haws out of him. I stepped down as an elder six months later- that school and other issues helped me see that being an elder was loyalty to the WT's rules first , not to God.
