Like Green economy, animal welfare, sustainable growth. All issues that make a natural fit between current problems and the agricultural past of the Millerite movement in the heartland of America.<br /><br />ncknckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580008070423402328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-7398810789230636192016-11-08T02:03:09.190-08:002016-11-08T02:03:09.190-08:00Yes it is and was wrong to abstain from society an...Yes it is and was wrong to abstain from society and forsake responsibilities of a citizen.<br /><br /><br />However, I don't believe HWA invented the practice of abstaining from voting. As a matter of fact it was quite common in Quaker circles to not vote or at least not automatically for a certain candidate of a certain party. Of course Quaker heritage being large part of HWA's psychological make up and therefore part of WCG tradition. <br /><br />-"Goodbye Friends"<br />-anti draft<br />-A lifelong servant of united nations institutions and its stated aim of world peace<br /><br />etc etc etc<br /><br />This fully falls within the realm of my theory that WCG started as a "social movement" within the context of its time (great crisis- to end of cold war). It was only later organized as a church because of legal, tax and other state imposed regulations. But it was an unorganized radio movement at first. Therefore it was isolated from mainstream from its very inception, since it was a counter movement against the changing times. Conservative, fundamentalist, versus expanding darwinism in all layers of society since the thirties and womens right (since wwII). It all falls within the greater philosophy of fundamentalist philosophy as reaction to modernity from the 1920's.
