Question regarding JW and military service.
by Alligator Wisdom indoes anyone know when the wts started to refused baptism for those who were enlisted as active duty in the armed forces (military)?.
any reference material would be appreciated.. from what i remember hearing, back in the olden days (pre-50's or 60's) anyone wishing to be baptized only had to show up at a convention or assembly to get dunked.
no questions.
