    1942 YEARBOOK of Jehovah's witnesses

    THIS REPORT is made following the usual custom of this organization, and is made for the enlightenment, information and benefit of those who love God and Christ, and made a portion of the history of the human race, which has been confronted with the greater question for determination, to wit, world domination.

    Covering a period of many centuries the question of paramount importance has been constantly presented before the sane and thoughtful people who look and hope for a rule of the nations that will be for their benefit and bring humankind many blessings. ‘One generation cometh, and another generation goeth. Blessed be the name of the Lord!’ All these years and generations there has persisted a determination to support that which is right, that a righteous government might be in the earth. Some have placed their individual benefit above that of others, while the great majority have had before their minds the consideration of what will result to the best welfare of all.

    Where shall creatures place themselves with respect to the two sides of the controversy? This question must be decided by each individual Where the advice and direction of humankind is followed, it always leads to disaster, but where God’s Word is followed as the authoritative and sure guide, the result is always satisfactory.

    The customary annual report has been delayed in issue this year, due to conditions over which the one who now attempts to dictate part of it had no control. A report presumes that there has been activity, and when the activity to perform the work assigned by the Lord’s commission and as therein described has come to an end, the report must be made, but it is not always possible to make it in due time. The one to whom report is made, and the ones receiving it, having the same zeal toward the great Creator, will rejoice to have this report at whatsoever time it is possible. Certain fixed historical facts, the authenticity of which cannot be questioned, are here appropriate to restate, and their restatement and understanding is an essential to have a keener appreciation of what the report contains.

    The creation of the garden of Eden by the Almighty God, the great JEHOVAH, had come to an end, the wicked had risen, and, the conclusion of Jehovah’s judgments having been entered, the first man and his companion were expelled from Eden. The great rebel thought that he had succeeded in defeating the purpose of Almighty God. He had not! In sorrow, sickness and decay Adam and Eve had begun to perform their work as assigned to them, but little or no joy accompanied that service. The Devil, of course, was invisible to human eyes, but those of the human creation were visible. The invisible leader, Satan, the chief of demons, was pushing on. Approximately 1600 years had passed away, and rapidly the human race had increased, at which time the chief of demons, Satan the Devil, together with the other demons under his direct command, had brought about the debauchment of all humankind save Noah and his obedient children. Then came the Flood.

    CLIMAXES

    What had necessarily brought about the climaxes, rebellion and the Flood? The answer is, World Domination. Such was the issue, and continues thus to be to this hour. Under the terms of the divine mandate, restated by Jehovah to Noah, progressive work on behalf of those who served Almighty God continued to increase. In all the years of effort put forth to oppose Almighty God, God had used his faithful servants and witnesses. Religion has been the means employed by Satan to work on the sentimentality of the people, and he has used it in connection with his scheme to grab world control. As a result of his efforts to do so the greatest climax of all time is here, and the final showdown stands at the door. Let this be kept in mind by all, that the issue of predominating importance, from beginning to end, is and will be World Domination, and in this final climax every creature, by force of circumstances, will be compelled to voluntarily choose whether or not he shall place himself exactly in line with those faithful men who have preceded, with reference to the two sides of the controversy.

    BEGINNING

    Jehovah God is the very personification of right, righteousness, liberty and life. All organizations of creatures have failed to give such to mankind, and there is but one other place where all human creatures that live can find these blessings and benefits, and that is, The Theocracy. The end of demon rule is at hand; and what shall bring about the final end by Jehovah God? It is the same as that which stood up at the beginning of the rebellion, to wit, religion or demonism. Those who will stand “in that day” will be only the ones God describes by the words of Daniel as “the righteous”, that is to say, those who are unselfish supporters of The Theocracy, and who follow the lead of the great God of Eternity, and who are diligent at all times to hold up the banner of truth. Religion was the chief instrument in the building of Babylon; and the arbitrary rule that followed thereafter and since was the same as that which oppresses the people today.

    The unbroken line of prophecy and its fulfillment shows that the moving cause of the “Axis powers” is religion. Associated with religion are politics and commerce, because such are things upon which demonism has seized to carry out Satan’s purpose. The liberty-loving people, desiring peace, joy and righteousness, have operated the nations of the earth under the name and title of “democracies”. Their purpose was good, but the demons, Satan being the chief, overreached them, and the consequences are that now in these last days the demons stand in control of all worldly governments on earth, and no human government is operating without demon control and without religion. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was that to which the people have looked forward, because Jesus emphasized it and because the apostles magnified his second coming. Upon earth there are a few Christians, whose hearts are set solely and fully upon the coming of The Kingdom, and about sixty years ago these organized themselves into a working body for the purpose of spreading “this gospel of the kingdom” according to God’s commandment. And now it is this organization, first known as “the Millennial Dawn”, and then International Bible Students Association, and then some other name, particularly Jehovah’s witnesses, that the Lord has chosen as his visible organization, its object being to make known the second coming of Christ.

    ORGANIZED

    To hold title to property, both personal and real, that they might use the same for the support and onward movement of proclaiming the message of truth, that little body of Christians, in the year A.D. 1884, organized a corporation under the name of Zion’s Watchtower Society. Later the corporate name was changed to Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society. That organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. To further aid the work of these Christian people, the Peoples Pulpit Association, a corporation, was created and organized under the membership corporation law of the State of New York and duly came into existence in the year 1908. Later the name of that corporation was changed and now is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Incorporated, of New York. In the year 1914 a corporation, under the name and title of International Bible Students Association, was created and organized under the laws of Great Britain. The purposes of these three corporate bodies are exactly the same. They are similar to three living persons working together in different parts of the earth. The purpose announced in their charters respectively, is, to wit: “The dissemination of Bible truths by means of publication, in printed form, and other lawful means.” Such corporations are merely the instruments or tools of Jehovah’s witnesses, that is, men and women who act harmoniously as God’s servants and carry on his work of witnessing to the truth in various parts of the earth. Such corporations are charitable and benevolent, because the people who use the same are moved by love, or unselfishness, in their devotion to God and his Theocratic Government to carry on such work; and because to know the truth of and concerning the great Theocratic Government is absolutely essential to the peoples of the earth. The organization of Jehovah’s witnesses using the corporations above named is known under the generic term “The Society”, that is to say, a company of persons who have but one objective and that to do the will of Almighty God. The authority or ordination or commission of Jehovah’s witnesses is given to them exclusively by Jehovah God and through Christ Jesus, the King of The Theocracy.

    ORDINATION

    That ordination or commission of authority was first conferred upon Christ Jesus, and through him extends to all his true followers. To be ordained means to be appointed by the proper authority to a position or office to perform the duties specifically assigned. Jehovah’s witnesses being selected by Jehovah, it follows that Jehovah is the authority that ordains the servant. Therefore it is written: “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.”-—Isa. 61:1, 2.

    That scripture states the commission of authority given by the Lord God to those persons who are selected by him and made his witnesses. The commandment given to those followers of Christ Jesus is contained in the Scriptures specifically at Isaiah 43: 9-12, Isaiah 62:1, 2, and other like scriptures. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matt. 24:14) As Christ Jesus is "the faithful and true witness” of Jehovah God, so all who are the true followers of Christ Jesus in faithfully giving testimony to the great Theocracy, to the name of Jehovah God and to his King Christ Jesus are Scripturally labeled and designated “Jehovah’s witnesses”.

    Thereafter such persons must be obedient to God’s commandments; as it is written; "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice.” (1 Sam. 15:22) "Study to shew thyself approved unto God,” and not unto man. (2 Tim. 2:15) As the follower in the footsteps of Jesus Christ such person must be obedient to the commandments of the Lord and thereby prove his integrity toward Almighty God. His eternal existence now depends upon full obedience to God’s commandments. To such persons the rule is announced by the Lord: “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.” (Rev. 2:10, Am. Rev. Ver.) As Christ Jesus, when on the earth, continuously proclaimed the name and kingdom of Jehovah, so all his followers must proclaim the name and kingdom of Jehovah in order that they may prove their integrity.

    The body of Christians now on the earth and known as Jehovah’s witnesses are a united body, operating together as one, that is, in full unity, in fulfillment of Ephesians 4:13,15. As a body of Christians following in the footsteps of Christ Jesus they carry forward their work harmoniously to the praise of Jehovah. To aid them in doing so and to work to the best advantage that body of Christians have the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society to act for them and in their behalf. That Society carries forward the work of these Christians in an orderly manner. To each one who gives evidence that he is fully devoted to God and his kingdom and that he is wholly devoted to the service of God, in obedience to His commandments, the Society issues a card of identification showing that such person is recognized by the body of Christians composing the Society as an ordained minister and servant of the Lord. Such card of identification is issued by the Society only to those who are the representatives of such Society. With such person the Society co-operates in the publication of the name of Jehovah God and of his kingdom. This does not mean that no one else is an ordained minister who does not receive such card of identification. The real ordination comes from Jehovah God himself.

    All of the covenant people, whom Jehovah has taken out for his name and sent forth as his witnesses, the Almighty God by his spirit has ordained or commissioned to proclaim his name and his kingdom. God has made them preachers or ministers of the gospel. Such are duly ordained ministers appointed and commissioned by the highest authority, regardless of what men may do, say or think. The words of ordination, commission and authority God has caused to be recorded for such covenant people at Isaiah 61:1, 2, above quoted.

    Christ Jesus, the great Judge at the temple since A.D. 1918, as Jehovah’s Executive Officer, sends forth such ordained ministers with the order and command that they must declare the good news or “gospel” that the Kingdom of Jehovah is here and that his kingdom is the only hope of humankind. (Matt. 24:14) This testimony to the name of Jehovah and to his Theocratic Government must be given by his ordained ministers immediately preceding the time of great tribulation, which is Armageddon. (Matt. 24:21) There is no distinction between male and female (Gal. 3:28), but all who are chosen of God and taken into a covenant with him and sent forth are ordained ministers to preach “this gospel” of the great Theocracy.

    No earthly power has any authority to set aside this high ordination and commission. The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, as the organization acting in behalf of and with Jehovah’s witnesses in order to do things orderly and carry on the work in an organized and orderly manner, sends out such witnesses, and thus an earthly ordination is provided, but that is always subject to the ordination of the Almighty God. Such persons are the true representatives of the Lord and the true ministers of God on earth.

    COURSE OF STUDY

    The Lord’s specific commandment to one who represented his visible organization on earth was, to wit: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” (2 Tim. 2:15,16) In many cities, towns and communities throughout the earth classes or companies of Jehovah’s witnesses are maintained and those companies or classes regularly meet, many times during the week, to engage in careful and prayful study of the Bible; and to do so they use the publications of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, which shun the profane and vain babblings of demonized religionists, and in order that they may study the Scriptures in an orderly way and get a better understanding of the will of God concerning his servants. Such persons are real students of the Scriptures and, being unselfishly devoted to The Theocracy and guided by the spirit of the Lord, they learn the Scriptures and the meaning thereof. These study classes are led by persons of the company who are more mature and are well qualified and apt to teach. Every person who loves righteousness and who desires to learn of God and of his kingdom is welcome to attend those studies and participate and receive instruction. Such schools of instruction in the Scriptures are held and conducted each and every week of the year to the great profit of those who attend.

    The time for the mere placing of books is past. Now is the time to feed the Lord’s “other sheep”. In no better way can this be done than by the publishers’ calling back on those who have shown interest and organizing more study classes, using the Lord’s provided literature.

    MEANS OF PREACHING

    “To preach” means “to proclaim or publish”. All of Jehovah’s witnesses are publishers of the message of Jehovah making known his name and his government. Such publication is done by word of mouth, by distribution of the printed message, by the reproduction of recorded speech by means of electrical transcription and phonographs, and by the radio, all of which brings to the attention of the people that we are in a transition period, the passing away of the demon rule and the coming in of the rule of The Theocracy.

    'Preaching this gospel of the kingdom of God’ (Matt. 24:14) means the proclaiming to others the Scriptural truths of and concerning Jehovah God and his Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus. Each and every one of Jehovah’s witnesses commissioned as aforesaid is commanded to preach God’s message of truth to all who will hear. Such is the means of bearing witness to the name and kingdom of Jehovah. They are not witnesses for any human organization, but are witnesses for the- Most High, the great Theocrat. Having received a commission from God to preach, and being commanded by him to preach, such consecrated persons must engage in preaching or proclaiming to others who will hear. That message delivered must be that which is proclaimed in the Scriptures, particularly with reference to the kingdom of Jehovah.

    It is the express will of God that his covenant people are and must ever be separate and distinct from the world, that is, from the things and from the powers that attempt to rule this evil world. To such the Lord says: ‘Ye are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.’ (John 15:18,19) Jesus is the Faithful and True Witness of Jehovah (Rev. 3:14) ; and all his followers, taken out from the nations for Jehovah’s name, must likewise be faithful and true witnesses to the name and kingdom of God and therefore must ‘keep themselves unspotted or separate from the world’.—Jas. 1: 27.

    All the nations of the present world are against The Theocracy. There are amongst the nations of earth two mighty factions which claim the right to rule, and which world powers are designated in the prophecy of Daniel as “the king, of the north” and “the king of the south”, and both of which are against the rule of the world by Christ Jesus, who is Jehovah’s King, holding full authority. The covenant people of God are on His side and entirely devoted to his purpose, and therefore must be and are at all times neutral in all things of controversy between the nations of this evil world. If the nations of this world see fit to engage in war, that is for the nations themselves to determine and it is their responsibility.

    When the law of men, made by nations of the earth and put into force, commands the doing of that which is directly in conflict with the commandments of Jehovah God addressed to his covenant people, what is the position of Jehovah’s covenant people with reference thereto? The apostles of Jesus Christ, Peter, John and others, were sent forth to preach and to represent The Theocracy, and, being in a covenant with Jehovah God and therefore governed strictly by the will of God, answered the foregoing question, and which answer is the one given by all of God’s covenant people to like questions. That answer is: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.” (Acts 4:19) One’s obligations under his covenant require him to faithfully follow this divinely announced rule.

    Those faithful apostles of the Lord, because they persisted in keeping their covenant with God and obeying God’s commandments rather than men, were arrested, ill-used, thrown into prison, and beaten. When released from prison they went straightway forward in preaching the gospel in obedience to God’s commandment. They did not fear what man might do to them. They feared God and obeyed Him. Suppose they had taken a compromising course by obeying the commandments of men, and had done so in order to avoid bodily punishment and yet preached the gospel on the sly, when rulers might not find it out. That would have been a course of compromise and would have constituted a failure to keep covenant with God. Such would have been breaking their covenant because of fear of men. The fear of man leads into a snare of Satan, which means everlasting destruction. That same rule applies to all of God’s covenant people today. —Prov. 29:25; Rom. 1:31,32; Rev. 21:8.

    COVENANT-BREAKERS

    A person who is not in a covenant with God is in a position far different from that of the person who is in a covenant to do the will of God. Those not covenant people of God are not here considered. Only those who have entered into a covenant to do the will of God are here considered. The obligation of such is that they must keep the terms of that covenant, the keeping of which is of vital importance. With Jehovah a covenant is a sacred thing, not to be broken or altered with impunity. How God regards and treats covenant-breakers may be correctly seen by reference to the treatment of such as is recorded in the Bible.

    No one can break God’s covenant and escape the penalty prescribed for so doing The Scriptures tell of men who broke covenant with God because of fear of man, and that such covenant-breakers suffered the penalty of death. One of such was the prophet Urijah. That prophet was deterred from performing his covenant obligations because of the threats made against him by men; and, fearing man, he fled. God did not protect him and he was seized by his enemies and killed. Thus God shows that he does not protect covenant-breakers.—Jer. 26: 20-23.

    COVENANT-KEEPERS

    In striking contrast to unfaithful Urijah is the prophet Jeremiah, who was a faithful witness of Jehovah. Jeremiah refused to compromise with the government of the unfaithful nation of Israel, and held fast to his covenant with Almighty God. Jeremiah proclaimed the name of Jehovah and warned the people as God had commanded him to do. Even though he was repeatedly threatened with death, he steadfastly went on obeying God. In doing that work Jeremiah was a type or prophetic pattern picturing Jehovah’s witnesses now on the earth who declare the name of Jehovah and his Theocracy. The rulers of Jerusalem, including the religious teachers and leaders, sought to have Jeremiah put to death because he held fast to the performance of the obligations of his covenant with God. “And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.” The religious leaders had stirred up the people against him as an excuse to demand that Jeremiah be put to death. That part of the divine record referring to the same is: “Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house [temple polluted by religion], and against this city [unfaithful Jerusalem], all the words that ye have heard ... As for me, behold, I am in your hand; do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you; but know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof; for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.”—Jer. 26:11-15.

    FEAR GOD

    Jeremiah did not fear man nor what man might do unto him; and in this he pleased God, and God manifested his power in Jeremiah’s behalf. One who is in a covenant with God, and who fears what man might do to harm him, and for that reason yields to the point of violating his covenant, is unclean and cannot receive God’s approval. As is shown in the case of Urijah, so with all covenant-breakers: such unclean ones must suffer death at the hands of Jehovah. God’s covenant people who continue faithful to the end in fulfilling their obligation are, of course, those who do not fear men. They do fear God. “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever.” (Ps. 19: 9) Those who have godly fear put their full trust in the Most High. All those who are in a covenant with Jehovah and are therefore for The Theocracy continue to fear God.

    God announced his rule concerning those who break their covenant, in these words: “Jehovah thy God is a devouring fire.” (Deut. 4: 24, Am. Rev. Ver.) That means that those who because of fear of man fail or refuse to perform their covenant obligation suffer destruction at the hands of Jehovah’s Executioner. The faithful apostle repeated those words above quoted, which are addressed to all who are in a covenant with God for the Kingdom. His words apply to those who are assembled at the temple, to which the Lord Jesus Christ has come for judgment. His words are addressed to God’s covenant people, applying at a time when all the world is in great distress and turmoil and at the time when God is permitting to be shaken out of his kingdom everything that can be shaken. These words thus recorded for the benefit of God’s covenant people are: “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.”— Heb. 12:28, 29.

    As it was with Jeremiah, so it is now with God’s people on the earth who are in a covenant for the Kingdom. The worldly powers put forth strong endeavors to cause Jeremiah to violate his covenant by conforming himself to worldly ideas. Jeremiah remained steadfast. Likewise today the worldly powers endeavor to force God’s covenant people to repudiate their covenant and to break the terms thereof by conforming themselves to the things of this world, which things are contrary to Jehovah’s commandment. God’s, faithful covenant people remain steadfast to Jehovah, faithful to the terms of their covenant and The Theocracy, regardless of all threats or acts leveled against them. Jeremiah’s experiences are recorded for the' benefit of God’s covenant people now on earth, as stated at Romans 15:4.

    The totalitarian ruling powers, composed of Nazis, Fascists and big religious leaders, now stand where, they ought not to stand, claiming the right to rule the world, and demanding that Jehovah’s covenant people; shall hail and bow down to totalitarian rulers, join their armies, and fight under their banners, and when Jehovah’s covenant people refuse to do so they are imprisoned and many put to death. In the face of all this God’s covenant people stand firm on the side of The Theocracy even though they see other faithful ones being imprisoned and sent to death. Although the law of such nations declares that a minister shall not be required to do military service, the acting authorities who have to do with carrying the law into operation say to these faithful covenant people of God: “We do not recognize you as a minister, nor that you are a sincere, conscientious objector to engaging in war; therefore you must join the fighting forces and serve under our banner.”

    The faithful covenant people of God answer: ‘'We cannot do so; we are in a covenant with Almighty God to do His will. To obey your commandment we must violate our covenant with God; and if we do so we shall suffer eternal destruction at the hands of Almighty God. We willingly conform ourselves to every law of the land that does not cause us to violate our covenant with Jehovah, as He has commanded. Almighty God has made us his witnesses and his ministers to preach this gospel of his kingdom by informing the peoples of the world of his name and his provision for peace and life for mankind. Almighty God has ordained us thus to preach. We have covenanted to do his will. To him we will remain faithful and true, regardless of what men may do to us. We do not wish to suffer imprisonment or other punishment at the hands of men. We know that the worst punishment to which we may be subjected by men of this world is death; but that means only the death of our human life. If we suffer death because of our faithfulness to Almighty God and the terms of our covenant, we have the sure promise from God that he will resurrect us to eternal life. If we violate our covenant with Jehovah God we suffer eternal death, from which there is no resurrection. For us there is but one choice, and that is to faithfully perform our covenant obligations to Jehovah and his King. If you choose to punish us because of our faithfulness to God and our covenant, that is your responsibility, and you must bear it. Be assured of this one thing, however: if we suffer punishment at your hands because we stand firmly and perform the terms of our covenant with Almighty God, the Lord God will duly punish you and you will find no way of escape from that punishment. We will do harm to no one, but the Almighty God, whom we serve, will see to it that if we are wronged we shall be avenged, because he has so promised and he always keeps his promise.”— Luke 18: 7, 8.

    That which is recorded concerning the firm, immovable stand of Jeremiah for Jehovah was there written and recorded for the purpose of encouragement to the covenant people of God now on the earth. (Rom. 15:4) The faithful covenant people of God now have in mind the words of Jesus Christ spoken for their comfort, to wit: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”—Matt. 10: 28.

    The faithful covenant people of God will not fear man nor what man can do. They do fear Almighty God, and obey him and serve him. The power of wicked men ends with death. The power of Almighty God is eternal. If one dies unfaithful to God, that is the everlasting end of him. If he dies because he is faithful to Jehovah and to the obligation of his covenant Jehovah will resurrect that faithful one to life eternal.

    Why should a man hesitate to faithfully keep covenant with Jehovah, regardless of all human opposition or punishment, threatened or applied? The person who has not made a covenant with Jehovah God, and who therefore does not know God, cannot understand and hence cannot answer the question. The man who is in a covenant with Jehovah, and who has partaken of the knowledge of the good things to be given by the Lord, does not permit himself even to debate in mind as to whether or not he should obey man and thereby break his covenant. He is determined to keep his covenant obligations faithfully to the end, regardless of what may be done against him by any human power.

    Jehovah never breaks or even alters his covenant. Those who serve God faithfully, and who receive his everlasting blessings, must and will faithfully perform covenant obligations and will not break or alter the terms of that covenant. For the covenant people of God, both of the remnant and their companions, the Lord’s “other sheep”, the time of climax is here. Whether permitted to remain free to preach this gospel of the Kingdom as God has commanded, or restrained of all human liberty; whether walking through the land and doing that which God has commanded, or behind prison walls because of faithfulness to covenant obligations, the Christian in the covenant with God will regard but one thing worth while, and that is that under all conditions, and in whatever state, he will hold fast his integrity. There is but one thing for him to do. He will consider nothing else. That one thing is faithfully keeping covenant obligations prescribed by the covenant he has made with Almighty God, and to do so faithfully unto the end, having always in mind the precious promises of the Lord addressed to him, to wit: “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.”—Rev. 2:10, Am. Rev. Ver.

    In obedience to the specific commandment from the Lord to advertise The Theocratic Government and to thereby “comfort all that mourn” (Matt. 24:14; Isa. 61:1,2) Jehovah’s witnesses go from place to place and from house to house, calling upon the people and informing those who will hear of the good news that The Theocracy is here. Unlike religious denominations, which meet in houses and perform certain formal ceremonies, Jehovah’s witnesses go to the people and talk with them. They take to the people books, booklets, magazines and other printed matter and also recorded speeches concerning the Scriptures which enable the people to find in the Scriptures the full and complete proof of this good news and that the Kingdom is at hand, and thus the people are enabled to stay in their own homes and learn of God’s gracious provision for them. Throughout all the earth where there are companies of Jehovah’s witnesses each in dividual, as opportunity is afforded, engages in thus preaching “this gospel of the kingdom”. The corporations above mentioned do the printing and manufacturing of such literature as is distributed and manage the witness work in an orderly manner. All this work is done without pecuniary profit to any person. Furthermore, persons who do engage in this witness work contribute their own money to carry on the work. There is but one purpose in our lives, and that is to make known Jehovah’s Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus and the blessings it will bring to humankind.

    OPPOSITION

    Every person who maintains his integrity toward Jehovah God must be a witness to the name of Jehovah and his government, The Theocracy. Every such person, therefore, is opposed by the Devil, the adversary of God and of The Theocratic Government, and that wicked one sees to it that they are severely persecuted.

    The hour has come in which every person must now declare himself either for or against Jehovah’s kingdom, because now is the day when all the nations are before the great Judge of Jehovah, Christ Jesus, who is separating the people, putting the approved on one side and those disapproved on the other. This is therefore the time of great crisis of the nations. If a person has taken his stand on the side of The Theocracy and declared himself for Jehovah and Christ, he must from that time forward expect to be persecuted by those who are of the world and who are therefore on the side of the Devil. The persecutors, therefore, compose the great mass of the people, because, as it is written, The whole world lieth in the wicked one.’ (1 John 5:19, Am. Rev. Ver.) The wicked do not persecute one another who are wicked, but they do persecute those who declare the name of the Righteous One, Jehovah, and his King of The Theocracy. Which side of the great controversy between the wicked Satan and the righteous Almighty God have yon taken ? and on which side do you desire to remain ? If you are on the side of The Theocracy, then know for a certainty you will receive persecution at the hands of those who are against The Theocracy.

    If one declares himself as having taken the side of The Theocracy and then attempts to escape persecution by declining or failing to bear testimony to the name of the great Theocrat and his King, that is evidence that such a person is not a child of God but that he is on the side of the enemy and is designated in the Scriptures as a “bastard”. (Heb. 12:5-8) God cannot be deceived. He knows the secret intent and purpose in the mind of each and every creature.

    Today Jehovah’s witnesses are hated by all who are in opposition to the Theocratic Government of righteousness. We are at the end of the world, and the words of the prophecy uttered by the great Prophet, Christ Jesus, now specifically apply to all who are on the side of God and Christ, to wit: “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”—Matt. 24: 9.

    The facts today completely fulfill that prophecy uttered by Christ Jesus. Are men hated today because they are called “Christians”? No, not that. Those persons of the most powerful religious organization on earth, which men are bent on ruling the earth contrary to God’s will, are called Christians, and those hypocritical men are the ones that manifest the greatest hatred against Jehovah’s faithful servants. Jehovah’s covenant people now on earth are very small in number. They are even so small in number that religionists speak of them with great contempt. If they were religionists they would receive no notice, because of their smallness, and it is certain that they would not then be persecuted. Why, then, is there so much opposition to Jehovah’s witnesses throughout the countries of the earth, and why are they so grievously persecuted in all these countries? Are they dangerous to any nation? They are not dangerous, because they have no desire or inclination to do harm to anyone. Are the ruling powers of the nations afraid of Jehovah’s witnesses and companions as to what they might do to overthrow their power? No, not at all; because Jehovah’s witnesses and companions could do them no injury. Surely the armies that destroy thousands of human lives every day have no fear of falling at the hands of Jehovah’s witnesses and companions. Then why are Jehovah’s witnesses hated in all nations and so cruelly ill-treated and persecuted?

    The answer is plain and is easy of comprehension. It is because these people, faithful to Almighty God and in obedience to his commandments, announce to the world that The Theocracy is the only hope of humankind; because they declare God’s vengeance against all that oppose The Theocracy. The faithful followers of Christ are hated today by all nations that are under Satan’s control, and that hatred is because such are witnesses for and advocates of the Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus. It is a part of the same conflict begun long ago, the Devil against righteousness. Now the King of righteousness has begun to exercise his power as King and the climax foretold by the prophetic drama of Job has come; and this is exactly in harmony with the admonition of the apostle addressed to the faithful ones now on earth. That admonition of the apostle emphasizes the fact that at the second coming of Christ Jesus those who will receive God’s approval' must hold fast their integrity, or blamelessness. Desiring that his faithful brethren might receive the full approval of the Lord, the apostle says: “So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day oe our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.”—1 Cor. 1:7-10.

    All who receive God’s approval must, as Job did, hold fast their integrity and stand blameless before the King. The suffering of Job foretells a climax of suffering of God’s faithful witnesses at the present time and that amidst all of such suffering the approved ones must hold fast their integrity. They must “all speak the same thing”, that is, this gospel of the Kingdom, The Theocratic Government, and they must be in complete unity in action, perfectly joined together in their activities for The Theocratic Government.

    The anointed remnant are the willing servants of the Lord and joyfully declare the name of Jehovah, of Christ, and of the Kingdom. The Lord’s “other sheep”, the Jonadabs, who will form the “great multitude”, have put themselves under the command of the Lord and are therefore his servants, and they join with the remnant in declaring the name of Jehovah and his King. Both the remnant and the Jonadabs, therefore, have taken the name of Jehovah and Christ. To all such the words of Jesus now apply, to wit: “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.”—John 15:20, 21.

    Otherwise stated, if a person is on the side of the Lord and firmly remains there and maintains his integrity, he must openly and boldly declare the name of the great Theocrat and his King and must expect to suffer as Christ Jesus suffered. In thus proving his integrity he is certain to be the object of attack by Satan and by all those who are blindly doing the bidding of Satan, and that includes all the totalitarian states and.those who are moved by the totalitarian or arbitrary spirit.

    The all-important thing to do is to give the testimony to the name of Jehovah and his Theocratic Government. The perfect wisdom of the Lord directs the best way for his covenant people to take. When faithful testimony brings reproaches and persecutions, then joyfully bear the same with the determination to remain true and steadfast to your covenant and prove faithful to Jehovah and to his King, and do this under all conditions. Each one must decide as to which side of the controversy he will take. On which side do you desire to be? Of course, you will say, My desire for myself is to be always on the' side of Jehovah God and Christ his King. To have that desire, therefore, means that the ones receiving it must suffer reproaches and persecutions, by which reproaches and persecutions they advance into the Kingdom. Such persecutions and reproaches are therefore not worthy to be compared with the blessings that shall come to those who maintain their integrity toward God and his kingdom.

    Since the sole purpose and work of Jehovah’s witnesses and their companions is to announce the name of Jehovah and his Government of Righteousness by Christ Jesus, and this for the benefit of mankind and to the glory of God; and since they are entirely neutral, they hold themselves aloof from the warring nations. Why does the Almighty God permit them to suffer so many indignities at the hands of their enemies? The answer from God’s Word is, to wit, in order that each one of his covenant people may now be permitted to prove his full devotion to The Theocratic Government and thus hold fast his integrity. (Heb. 12: 6; Job 2:3) This test must continue to the end.—Rev. 2:10.

    LEADER

    Pointing to Christ Jesus, the King of The Theocracy, Jehovah by his prophet says: “Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people [God’s covenant people].” (Isa. 55:4) The apostle then and the faithful witnesses of the Lord Jesus now proclaim this prophecy, at Revelation 20:4, to wit: “And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” Those words mean that such faithful ones have no human leader, but that they have given up their own head and look only to Christ Jesus as their Head and Leader that they might bear witness to the name of Jehovah and to his Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus. It is the enemy that accuse Jehovah’s witnesses falsely of having a mere man as leader. That Jehovah’s witnesses look above to God’s announced Leader for his covenant people was forcibly demonstrated at the Theocratic Assembly of Jehovah’s witnesses in St. Louis, Missouri, in August, 1941. Addressing directly the gathering of several thousand pioneers, with the rest of the Assembly of several scores of thousands also present and listening in, the president of the Society said: “Of course, the enemy, because they head a sect or cult themselves, insist on calling Jehovah’s witnesses a sect or cult. That is all nonsense. A sect or cult is that kind of people that are led by some human institution, led by some men for selfish reasons; but Jehovah’s witnesses could not be such, because they have no human leader on this earth.” This statement the entire Assembly roundly applauded. The president then called attention to a picture published in a newspaper convention report, and said: “The caption reads, ‘This is the leader.’ I am glad the Lord understands. He knows that this is not the leader, but this is just one of the boys fighting along with you.” Again the vast Assembly applauded in hearty approval and agreement.

    The Lord tested his people again on this same issue on the final day of the Theocratic Assembly, after the public address attended by more than 115,000. Addressing the great throng for the last time, the president said: “I want to let any strangers here know what you think about a man being your leader, so they won’t be forgetting. Every time something rises up and starts to grow, they say there is some man a leader who has a great following. If there is any person in this audience who thinks that I, this man standing here, is the leader of Jehovah’s witnesses, say Yes.” The Assembly’s response to this was an impressive silence broken only by several emphatic, loud “No’s”. The speaker continued: “If you who are here believe that I am just one of the servants of the Lord, and we are working shoulder to shoulder in unity, serving God and serving Christ, say Yes.” In full unanimity the Assembly roared out a decisive “Yes!” This was not the decision and stand of merely Americans, Canadians, Mexicans and others of the Western Hemisphere there present. At a like Theocratic Assembly held in Leicester, England, the following month and attended by more than 12,000 on the final day, and when a copy of the above address was read to them, the British brethren responded in exactly the same manner as did those at St. Louis.

    No man on earth within the visible part of God’s organization is heiled or followed or obeyed as the leader of Jehovah’s witnesses. They refuse to compromise with any part of Satan’s organization, and, regardless of all earthly persecution and opposition, they remain -true, steadfast and blameless before the Lord. Such blamelessness consists of their complete devotion to the Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus. Their integrity is put to the test, and those who receive the Lord’s approval will hold fast their integrity under that test. They are being disciplined by the Lord, and they are determined to not yield to demon influence, but that they will remain faithful to Jehovah God and his Government of Righteousness, come what may.

    The crucial test, which must persist until Armageddon, is proof that now is “the last time”. The words of the apostle now apply to the Lord’s faithful servants, to wit: “Little children, it is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1 John 2:18) The antichrists, many of which now appear, are all those against the Theocratic Government by Christ Jesus the King, and, says the apostle, ‘thereby we know that this is the last time.’ The words of the apostle here clearly mean that the end of Satanic rule has come: “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”—1 John 2:17.

    It is therefore clearly to be seen that the crucial test is here, and thus Jesus says to those who follow him: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Matt. 24:13) “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Cor. 15:58) “Do all things without murmurings and disputings; that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.” (Phil. 2:14,15) Stand fast for The Theocracy ’ It will be folly to now turn to the beggarly totalitarian ruling elements. (Gal. 4:9) Give ear always to what the Lord says: “I will hear what God the Lord will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.” “The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.”—Pss. 85: 8 and 29:11.

    THE ISSUE

    Now there stands out in the universe this great question at issue, World Domination, and God’s people, well knowing that “the Axis powers” are against God and his Kingdom, and that the democracies have taken the position that results identically, take their stand unequivocally for The Theocracy. The Society, the above-named organization, and which in the last ten years has more particularly been known as “Jehovah’s witnesses”, has been in operation separate and distinct from the worldly political powers. So there are really three great organizations : The democracies, the Nazis, the first called “the king of the south”, the next being called “the king of the north”; and the third, the great Star and Light of brilliancy, that stands out over the entire universe and causes “the king of the north” and “the king of the south” to fade into insignificance. Everyone who loves Jehovah an’d Christ Jesus is privileged to receive the benefit of this glorious Star. This Light is called in Revelation 'the King from the place of the sunrising’. (Rev. 16:12) It is Jehovah’s creation, and is bright. This Light is also called “The King of Eternity” because in it resides all the light in the universe.

    The question, then, before the minds of the people, which must be settled now, once and for all, is this, World Domination. No man can decide that for another, but this question must be decided by Almighty God Jehovah; and before its decision is finally reached, information or “gospel” must be spread throughout the earth notifying the people. “The king of the south” and “the king of the north” are both against the great Light above mentioned. And what is that Light? It is The Theocracy. It is the government of Jehovah God that shall rest upon the shoulder of Christ Jesus (Isa. 9:6) It shall know no end. Its peace shall endure forever. It will dash to pieces the two great opposing powers, and it shall stand forever. (Dan. 2:44) The objective or purpose of the Society, working under the supervision of the Lord, has been and is to hold to a position of absolute neutrality so far as the two organizations mentioned are concerned, to have nothing to do with these, but to spend all of its time, substance, energy and money and life, everything, in the interest of The Theocracy. Those who will compose The Theocracy have done this very thing, and now they stand and behold the salvation of the Lord

    Jehovah God and Christ Jesus, pointing the people to The Theocracy as the only hope.

    By reference to the last Yearbook it will be seen that the following nations were represented and made a splendid witness to the truth:

    The report for 1940-1941 now published discloses the fact that within the past twelve months ending September 30,1941, a majority of those nations maintaining a Branch office have been removed from that list, due to restrictions imposed by totalitarian governments assuming control or to war conditions. And while God has used another means of proclaiming the Theocratic message by continued activity of individuals, the record as herewith published would, on the face of it, show that the Theocratic witness work on earth is about done. If that is not so, let this be emphasized: We know that the arbitrary powers above mentioned are in no wise interested in The Theocracy, and yet the Theocratic witnesses know that their great privilege is to go on advertising The Theocracy, to enable the people to make their choice, whether on God’s side and on the side of Christ his King or to fall with demonism. The Kingdom, or The Theocratic Government, is here, and the peoples of earth shall know that shortly. Within a very short time the nations shall know that the final issue is here. Who is going to win? God himself answers that question at Daniel 2:44 and Isaiah 9:6, 7, and at many other appropriate Scriptures.

    And now these warm, enthusiastic, heart-rejoicing facts are set forth, to which the people are directed, and with confidence we expect every person of goodwill to hasten to The Theocracy, and life and blessings shall be the portion forever of those who do.

    OFFICE

    The executive or administrative offices of the Society are situated at 124 Columbia Heights; Brooklyn, New York. The publishing office and factory are situated at 117 Adams Street, Brooklyn. The Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, that is, the Pennsylvania Corporation; and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Incorporated, the New York corporation; and the International Bible Students Association, the British corporation, are all managed and directed by the administration office at 124 Columbia Heights. The appointments of various places in the Theocratic organization on earth are made from the administration office.

    The office and factory force, while small in number when compared with the duties performed, are earnest, zealous, trustworthy, faithful and hard workers, giving attention to the Kingdom interests or “goods” of the Lord. All of them render their services voluntarily and without compensation except food and shelter and a small amount, $10.00 a month, for incidental expenses, furnished by the Society. They work regularly five and one-half days of the week at the office and factory, and at stated times they work Saturday afternoon and evenings of other weekdays, as will appear from the report below. Usually on Saturday afternoons and Sundays every one of that force and of the Bethel family engages in preaching “this gospel of the kingdom” by calling on the people and presenting to them the Kingdom message or otherwise carrying on the work of the Society. When the day’s work at the office, factory or Bethel home is completed, they attend or conduct Bible studies at various points in New York and vicinity. All these Bible studies that are held in and about the city of New York and elsewhere are led by ordained ministers competent and apt to teach. These call on the people in the evenings at their homes, and where there is a group in any vicinity desiring to organize a study class this is done and a competent person is appointed from amongst the ordained ministers to conduct and lead and instruct such class. The Bethel family includes all of those at 124 Columbia Heights, at Watchtower, and at the Farms. All of these are doing one and the same thing, to wit, preaching the gospel and incidentally doing that which is necessary to carry on the work. They are God’s ministers and servants, and they delight to serve him day and night. They will keep on working, and let nothing stop them.

    ORDAINED MINISTERS

    At its offices in Brooklyn the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society keeps a list of men who are made the special representatives of the Society and to whom is assigned specific work. These men are representatives of the Society, and all of them are ordained ministers of the gospel. They have received the divine ordination or commission of authority from Jehovah God, as herein set forth, and they have also been appointed and commissioned by the Society as ministers of “this gospel of the kingdom”, to look well to certain specific duties assigned to them. There are many other ordained ministers of Jehovah’s witnesses, and who represent the Society, whose names do not appear in this Yearbook, but who have evidence of their ordination and their position with the Society. Each one of these possesses a card of identification. The following is a list of ordained ministers specially equipped and sent from headquarters:
