You said:
Allowed? I have seen the documents provided by Ray Franz, and I believe the Society simply stated that it was a personal conscience decision on the part of each individual. Your use of the term "allowed" gives a false impression that the Society somehow endorsed this course of action, which is not the case.
You also said that the following was just a matter of conscience?
to illegally bribe government officials in order to have them falsify a military document ("cartillia") which stated that they had successfully completed military basic training and were then enrolled in the Mexican Army First Reserve.:
You minimize this by saying being in the First Army Reserve involves only five or six hours a week on a Saturday or Sunday and that they wouldn't serve if called to action. Hmmm, liars and crooks, but only if convicted by their own conscience. Maybe this is where Franz got the idea for the name of his book. You mention seeing the documents, have you read the book???
