airplanes. Foss also served two terms as Governor of the State of South
Dakota from January 1955 to January 1959. Go here and scroll 1/2 the way

In view of all of the publicity, advertisements, famous people, and world
renowned hype of the Taylorcraft name, it would have been very difficult for
the Watchtower Society to claim that they did not know who C.G. Taylor was,
or were unaware of the Military manufacturing businesses that Taylor was
involved in.
The names (Taylorcraft), and C.G. Taylor were world known trademarks that
were advertised in newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and
conversation topics discussed even by Presidents of the United States.
C.G. Taylor was also turning in (Field Service Reports), to the Watchtower
Society with his name signed to every slip, and every member of his
Jehovah's Witness congregation must have known, or been aware of his
worldwide manufacturing of weapons.
Taylor continued his Military manufacturing of weapons until 1958, yet the
1988 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses page 208 states, "After their
departure, the Society did not appoint another pilgrim to oversee the work
until ten years later, in 1937. But the local brothers remained undaunted.
They continued to preach in the four or five places where groups met, and
they sent their (field service reports) directly to the Society in
Brooklyn." So for at least 19 years, from 1939 to 1958, C.G. Taylor was
turning in his (field service reports) to the Watchtower Society. Surely his
name was recognized by the Watchtower, however, there are no records of C.G.
Taylor ever being expelled or disfellowshipped from any congregation of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
As stated before, this article is (not) to judge the Watchtower Society or
Jehovah's Witnesses as to their Christian beliefs. However, in view of the
staggering evidence provided by all four branches of the Military, and
statements made from C.G. Taylor's own Taylorcraft Corporation itself, it
would be my opinion, that the Watchtower Society and it's members should not
be so quick to claim that they are strictly (neutral) as to world affairs.
When the Watchtower Society or Jehovah's Witnesses judge others in such a
way as to condemn the entire world to destruction just because of a
difference of beliefs, or because American soldiers defend our country, do
they really have room to talk considering the evidence we have just
considered?
I think that Jesus Christ said it best when he said, "Truly I say to you
that the tax collectors and the harlots are going ahead of you into the
Kingdom of God."
