A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: O mesmo artigo diz que ‘a luz da verdade está brilhando mais intensamente’ e que os membros sempre estiveram dispostos a abandonar empregos que se mostrassem em desarmonia com as Escrituras, ‘mesmo que isso tenha significado alguma perda financeira pessoal’.

Kingdom Ministry, “Harmonizing Our Employment with ‘Love of Neighbor’”

fevereiro de 1974 · p.4 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“If a dedicated, baptized Christian finds himself working in such an objectionable type of employment, he should arrange within a reasonable time, perhaps three months, to find other employment that would not be out of harmony with the requirements of the Scriptures for Christian living. On the other hand, if after such time period he would decide to remain in the objectionable employment, it would be necessary for the congregation to take action and expel the individual from the congregation.”

The congregation newsletter extends the 1973 tobacco ruling to employment: tobacco farmers, shop owners who stock tobacco, salesmen and factory workers are given about three months to change their work. It sets out how tobacco allotments, tenancies, partnerships and signed contracts are to be handled, and says growing tobacco ‘is as objectionable as using tobacco personally’.
