    Someone did mention Christadelphian. I remember in August 1, 1962, page 11 of The Watchtower magazine read Christadelphian did not involve in wars and politics. More interesting: During World War I, The Watchtower Society did pray for the Allied and Christadelphian did not. (See Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose,1959, page 92 or Proclaimers-book, page 191, The Divine Purpose of 1959 mentions clearer). In sum up: The Watchtower "borrowed" Christadelphian while they both splitting up from Second Adventist.

    Very interesting, jwsons. Yes, the WTS erred badly but hides the facts in their history tomes. It took me quite a while to dig up that they had participated in the day of prayer. Not too neutral.

    There are also some members of the more mainstream Christian religions who will only engage in non-combatant roles in the military (i.e., serving as medical staff). Thus, at an individual level, not all members can be "tarred" with the same brush.
