AC: You said, "The Society did not endorse this course of action (in Mexico)."

Have you read the Society's letters? President Knorr's letters sure make it sound to me that he (and therefore "the Society") endorsed that course of action. He never said, "I don't endorse what is going on in Mexico." But the Society "allowed" this to go on.

And if I read the Mexican brothers' letters correctly, they would have preferred that Knorr would have outright told them to stop allowing that policy. But they didn't stop it because Knorr told them to "leave things stand as they are and have been since February of 1960."

How do you personally feel about illegally bribing government officials to falsify a military certificate which falsely stated that a brother had successfully completed basic training and was then enrolled in the Mexican Army First Reserve?

If you live in the United States, what would happen to a brother in you congregation who broke several laws when he illegally paid money to some government official in order to have him falsify a document that said that you had successfully completeld 12 weeks of basic training at Camp Chaffee, Ark and now is a part of the United States Army Reserve?

Would the elders simply say, "As long as it doesn't bother your conscience, that's fine with us - and Jehovah's organization?"

I wouldn't think so. Wouldn't this be a disfellowshipping offense in the United States?
