How did the Jehovah's Witnesses Stand Firm Against the Nazis? (Discussion 34 Part 3)

Neutrality - In part three of our discussion we discuss Watchtower's Neutrality stance. One of the reasons the Jehovah's Witnesses were targeted by the Nazis in later years was because of this, but was this the only reason they were persecuted? Conscientious Objection - Those who wore the Purple Triangle were conscientiously opposed to war and this was another reason that the Jehovah's Witnesses and others who wore the Purple Triangle were marked and imprisoned. Why were the Jehovah's Witnesses targeted so soon after the Nazis came to power? ----------------------------------------- Our first discussion and stop on our path to Rutherford's Roadmap is a look at how the Jehovah's Witnesses Stood Firm against the Nazis. What can we learn about those who wore the purple triangle? As historians we need to be fair in looking at a historical event or topic from more than one perspective, both good and bad.

After Hitler came to power, how quickly did he target the JWs? How did the JWs endure such severe persecution?
