On the off chance, CoolJGS, that you are not being deliberately obtuse I'm going to make it really simple. Here are two exchanges between "The State" and a Jehovah's Witness, so you can see the discrepancy I speak of:
1)
State: "Join the army."
JW: "That's a violation of God's law, so I won't do it."
State: "The law says you must."
JW: "I still won't do it. Punish me if you will, but God's law comes first with me."
2)
State: "Make your child available for a blood transfusion."
JW: "That's a violation of God's law, so I won't do it."
State: "Here's a court order, so the law says you must."
JW: "Oh, well that's different. Now the law of the state will come first with me."
That's the way it appears to work - indicating that the Watchtower doesn't operate on coherent principles.
