Those who refuse to accept the mark of the wild beast have constant problems. Starting the 1930's, for example, they had to fight many court battles and endure violent mobbings and other persecutions. In the totalitarian countries, they were thrown into concentration camps, where many died. Since the second world war, countless young men have suffered lengthy imprisonments, some even bring tortured and killed, because of their refusal to compromise their Christian neutrality. In other lands Christians are literally unable to buy or sell; some are unable to own property; others are raped, murdered or chased from their native land. Why? Because in good conscience, they refused to buy a political party card. - JOHN 17:16.
