1986 Forword: "People everywhere want true peace and security. They long for relief from the many problems that press in on them. Is there a lasting solution to these problems.? This book is published with the conviction that there is, and that soon true peace and security will be a reality earth wide. ..." (37 Mio copies)
There was even a second book from 1986. In 1986 everything was about Peace and security.
I get True Peace and Security from staying home warm and snug on meeting nights. No more insecure feelings trying to cope with incessant org demands. Truly peaceful and secure in here now, nothing to worry my little mind once front door closed.
Back than 1986 everything was about Peace and security, as if the "CALL PEACE and SECURITY" was not made or would have to be originated from politicians or UNO, but came from JW who enjoyed real peace, read accurate here: Wasnt the Book itself the Call for Peace and security?
As we hear today JW are working for peace and security by supporting the governments in establishing fundamental rules and laws for religious minorities, as civil society organisations in cooperatin with organisations like OSCE or UN Human Rights, that are declared working for the goal is peace and security agenda.
But 1986 Jesus the FINE SHEPERD was CONFRONTED with the United Nations, the false proclaimer of peace, the manmade peacekeeping agency, that came out of "the abyss" after WWII!
"World peace" would definitely freak out a lot of JW lifers.
I think many would become polarized as to what it meant. It'd be entertaining as hell. :smirk:
@ TheWonderofYou...
We've since discovered that acquiring NGO status was done to enable WT reps to enter countries they previously weren't able to preach in.
"Theocratic Warfare" and all that...
