Early in 1924, the German Reich's Minister of the Interior said to his Prussian colleague: "Surveillance of the activity of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society also appears to me to be indicated if this can be done inconspicuously. Perhaps the presidents of the government might thereby possibly make use of the Protestant consistories which mostly are well-informed about such associations and with the involvement of church interests would surely readily provide information." The latter replied: "I cannot speak in favor of a ban of the sect on the grounds of a state of emergency. Nor would I recommend at this time initiating new German Reich legal regulations in order to hinder its activities. Even if the activities of the sect are undesirable to the state, combating it for as long as possible should rather be left to the churches, against whom its attacks are primarily directed."(1) Citation Details Title: Jehovah's Witnesses' request for recognition as a corporation under public law in Germany: background, current status, and empirical aspects.
