As țambassadors substituting for Christț Jehovah's witnesses have conscientious objection to serving in the military and related establishments of the nations. Ambassadors are exempt from military service in the nation to which their government sends them, especially in a hostile nation. Remember, in Bible times ambassadors were sent, not to friendly nations, but to nations at war or threatening war. God's ambassadors substituting for Christ are sent, not to friendly nations, but to hostile nations. All nations of this world of Satan are hostile to God. The message given these ambassadors to deliver, țBecome reconciled to God,ț shows that the nations are not friendly.

To desert the ranks of God's ministers means to fight God. W 2/1
