World war 2 aussie branch head approved bethel laundry to wash soldiers uniforms to increase profits. (Yearbook 1983 page.64) many left the truth since brothers around the world were in jail for refusing even to put a uniform on! Hypocrisy. Rutherford came to see what all the fuss was about and commended the bethelites. 1947 Knorr came and fired the branch manager and put a stop to this. At a convention he confessed mistakes were made by supporting the war effort they were not showing Christian neutrality.

in world war 2 the head of bethel agreed to wash military uniforms at bethel to make extra cash.
meanwhile brothers around the world were in jail for refusing to even put on a military uniform or even perform any non military work.

Yearbook 1983 page 63 explains Rutherford recieving many complaints and came to visit and saw nothing wrong with the cash flow situation!
Many left the truth for this breach of neutrality. In 1947 Nathan Knorr came and fired the branch servant and stopped this. Page 97 Knorr gave a talk at the Convention saying...."We confess that during the war we put our hands to the iniquity of this world at war...we put Gods properties to use in the war effort...violating true neutrality..."

After 100 years they decided the snake was just a poor victim of the devil.

New WT on "Hate" is actually a little bit based
by neat blue dog inthe new public wt on hate, especially racial hate just came out and seeing as how left-leaning the org is in regards to so many non-sexual things (like mandates and lockdowns, guns, war, patriotism, freedom of thought and speech, climate change, etc.
) i was fully expecting the magazine to lean into the media lies of black victimhood, etc.
however was pleasantly surprised to see a few valid thoughts, such as this opening image of everything seemingly being blamed on the white man.. .

Witnesses were Anti vaccine till 1950!
by Witness 007 in"brother mcmillan wrote "faith on the march" about his wonderful life at bethel.
he wrote of an incident in 1943 where a group of witnesses in jail for refusing military service were against getting vaccinated and he came to the rescue visiting them and telling them it was ok. the reason for this was "the golden age" magazine in the 1920's describes vaccines as puss filled poison...so they were following their watchtower training..
