The Watchtower, “Paying Back Caesar's Things to Caesar”

1 mai 1996 · pp.15-20 · par. 21 and footnote a (p. 20) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“That is his decision before Jehovah. Appointed elders and others should fully respect the conscience of the brother and continue to regard him as a Christian in good standing. If, however, a Christian feels that he cannot perform this civilian service, his position should also be respected. He too remains in good standing and should receive loving support.”

Paragraph 21 on a Christian who concludes that national civilian service is a 'good work' he can perform. The article's only footnote reads: 'See The Watchtower of May 15, 1964, page 308, paragraph 21.'

The Watchtower, “Maintaining Unity in Difficult Times”

15 mai 1964 · pp.303-310 · par. 21 (p. 308) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“If we know the principles of God's Word in the Bible it will not be so difficult for a dedicated person to make right decisions.”

The paragraph cited by the 1996 footnote. It is about facing new situations with Bible principles; it does not itself state a rule on civilian/alternative service.

Note sur la fiabilité. Opened on wol.jw.org; paragraph 21 confirmed on p. 308.

Notes. Useful to show that the 1996 article's footnote does not direct readers to the earlier ruling being replaced.
