About Us

1. The “Jehovah’s Witnesses Organisation” is composed of devoted creatures who submit to God’s arrangement. They have associated to be able to work together for a common goal in harmony with His purpose, and to do so in peace and unity, without quarrel or conflict — on the contrary, to their benefit, with a continuously moving calm and a pleasant state of heart and mind.

To be able to work together in fulfilling the divine will, we say: Welcome to our website to all those who wish to cooperate with us.

Knowing in advance the benefits of unity among His people, God had it written in the Bible: ECCLESIASTES 4:9,10.

2. Jehovah, the God of order and peace, has had faithful witnesses on earth from the beginning and up to our present day, starting with Abel, the prophets, Jesus, the apostles, and the disciples down to the last days. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:33; HEBREWS 12:1

In 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the Lord’s organisation was one and the same across the entire earth. In Romania at that time, Jehovah’s Witnesses formed and legally registered as a moral legal entity under the name “Jehovah’s Witnesses Association” of Romania. At that time, there were no other groups or associations with this name.

Between 1945 and 1948, Jehovah’s Witnesses in Romania progressed unitedly in pure and undefiled worship to their Creator.

Given the global state of affairs after the war, the Watch Tower Society issued instructions on how to proceed in case of dissolution and banning of associations:

– INFORMANT, 29 AUGUST 1947, RUTIMAN
“… Brother Knorr further writes in a letter: ‘If the brothers are separated from their mother, then a decision must be made inasmuch as they adhere solely to the Bible for their instruction and do not follow any particular man, even if that man follows the Bible…’”

– ANNEX NO. 6 to the 1948 Watchtower “Man’s Love for Man” paragraphs 28, 29, 30
“… Not to exalt or inflate any creature, but to illustrate the right course of action, especially under violence, let us review a practical example from the present decade’s history. Germany and the countries invaded by the Nazi leader’s troops have already been cited in these columns. After the elected Nazi leader of the German people dissolved the Watch Tower branch in Germany, burned the literature, and imprisoned Jehovah’s Witnesses in concentration camps to destroy their organisation and break their connection with the central office in America, these gospel servants continued forward in serving Jehovah God, without contact or communication with the Society’s president or its branch servant. Likewise, in the East, the allies of Nazism invaded a number of countries through brutal aggression. In the Philippine Islands, before the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the Watch Tower Society had a branch office with several brothers stationed there and 373 Kingdom publishers scattered across many islands. Then, the Japanese princes of war sent their troops to invade the country. They quickly took control of everything and caused the dispersion of our brothers. They dissolved the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation there, seized individuals, removed the branch servant and placed him in a concentration camp with others, forcing those still free to work underground, unidentifiable outwardly, but still continuing their service.”

What happened then regarding them all? Did they stop due to lack of further instructions and sit idle saying: “We cannot work as gospel servants until we receive specific organisational instructions and letters from the president of the Watch Tower Society telling us what to do now under these current dangerous circumstances”? NO; they did not ask any human creature about what they should now do. Indeed, they were scattered throughout the country, having no visible organisation to bind together all God’s people; they had no branch office with a servant at his post; they had no secret channel of communication with the American Watch Tower Society corporation. But they had the written word through which the Lord God speaks to those with ears to hear, and they had access to His word, whether they had printed copies with them or the teachings and instructions were written in their hearts for consultation. When the day of victory over Japan came two years later and the prisoners in the Philippine islands were liberated, the Society’s branch servant was released and the work residence was re-established. A call to action in God’s service was sent out — not just to the pre-war group, but to an average of 1033 publishers.”

During the time of dispersion, internment, and underground activity, those pre-war publishers looked directly to the Lord and consulted His Word or what they had learned from it. They did not cease to confess with their mouths to others during the general trouble, but continued preaching, being wise as serpents yet innocent as doves. They obeyed what God through Christ Jesus commanded them to do. The Lord God blessed this courageous submission to Him and to His King, Christ Jesus, and gave them prosperity so that, when the Society’s president eventually attended a national convention in Manila in early April, there were 2,200 Filipino brothers present and 4,200 people came to hear his public speech entitled “Joy for All People.” Today, there are more than 2,700 Kingdom publishers on the islands and approximately 5,000 people take part in the Bible study meetings conducted by these Jehovah’s Witnesses. ROMANS 12:11-13.

3. In communist countries, the local organisations of Jehovah’s Witnesses had become direct targets of attack and were dissolved in a malicious attempt to erase these witnesses of God’s Kingdom from existence, which also happened in Romania in March 1948.

After the banning of A.M.I.R. and its declaration as illegal, a period of severe trials and testing followed for the brothers, both physically and spiritually.

Many men and women were unjustly imprisoned for 10–20 years or forcibly relocated to the Bărăgan region, suffering persecution, interrogations, beatings, and the confiscation of literature… Spiritually, many remained faithful even unto death in prison, but others, disregarding the Society’s instructions, produced and distributed literature in the form of mimeographed booklets, without numbering or indication of authorship.

Below we present the Society’s instructions which prohibited such actions without its knowledge and oversight:

A) Informant, 29 August 1947. Rutiman,
“… the Bucharest office is the only one recognised for literature in Romania; it alone supplies the brothers with the Society’s publications. The Society does not recognise other suppliers of literature, and apart from the organisation established and functioning based on the Organisation’s instructions, with its groups and circuit servants throughout the country, the brothers should not accept instructions from anyone else. I believe I can assume that no one in Romania is in doubt about this…”

B) Informant, 1 May 1947, under the subtitle “Work Causing Confusion”,
“… from Brooklyn they ask how it can be explained that many thousands more brochures were reported in the field service report than shown on the warehouse report as distributed, and where are the bound books being spread from? During the preparation of the group map, surprising things emerged in some groups. For example, in one group where 29 publishers worked for 6 months, 3218 brochures were distributed, of which only 547 were obtained from the Society, while 2771 brochures mysteriously entered the organised group, and the workers served selfish individuals who, in Jehovah’s name and under the Society’s legal rights, pocketed double the price of the brochures. Because of this, the Society cannot publish new brochures for the work. In this group, the same situation applied regarding the publication ‘Buna Speranță’ (Good Hope). Three parts of it were withheld under various names, and only the weak, crippled and few copies were sent to the Society, while the fat ones were kept. Group servants are responsible for overlooking such matters. If they themselves do such things, then their responsibility is all the greater. The Society did not organise groups so that some may work for Peter and others for Paul in Jehovah’s name and under the protection of the Society’s rights. We therefore urge the brothers to remove this leaven from the groups wherever it may exist…”

C) “The Harvest Siftings” pp. 34–35, subtitle “Printing and Bookbinding”
“Books, brochures, magazines and other Society literature for Europe shall be produced and printed only at the aforementioned establishments. All printing and binding establishments of the Society will receive orders for this from the central office in Brooklyn. All materials — papers, cloth, and others — will be purchased only based on an approved request from the Brooklyn office. The form, quantity, and quality of all printed and bound publications shall be determined by the Brooklyn central office. The aforementioned European establishments shall proceed with printing only after receiving a specific order from the Brooklyn office. Instructions will be followed precisely regarding the format, typesetting, etc. No books or other literature shall be dispatched from any branch of the Brooklyn office unless based on a formal order, except for the standing order that two copies of all new publications from branch offices be sent immediately to the Brooklyn office…”

Mimeographed writings do not correspond in form or content with the original literature received up to 1948.
For further clarification, we remain at your disposal to compare the mimeographed writings with the Watchtower.

These mimeographed writings continued to appear until illustrations began to be included in the booklets, and their content increasingly diverged from the truth. In Romania, around 1968–1970, new magazines appeared that completely changed the explanations regarding the “Higher Powers” in Romans 13 and, in error, misapplied them to “Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

These doctrinal changes prompted us to thoroughly examine these materials in the light of the Bible, and upon seeing the striking difference between the new magazines and those received up to 1948, we separated from those who supported the new teachings.

Further investigation revealed that the doctrinal shift had already begun with the mimeographed booklets that had appeared in Romania without the Society’s knowledge or control after 1948, which led us in 1972 to separate from those who upheld those mimeographed booklets referring to the “NEW WORLD” translation.

Although many discussions and misunderstandings arose during the separations of the various groups, those of us who remained faithful to the original literature up to March 1948 were united throughout the country in regular studies and in the preaching work.

By Jehovah’s mercy, who preserved our lives, immediately after the fall of communism we reunited and re-registered as the “Jehovah’s Witnesses Association” of Romania, moral legal entity (A.M.I.R.).

Since some of the brothers who had been members of the “Jehovah’s Witnesses Association” banned in 1948 were still alive among us in 1990, and maintained the exact same principles of faith, considering ourselves the continuers of the same association, we decided to re-register under the same name according to the application filed with the Cluj-Napoca Court and which was approved on 2 February 1990.

After A.M.I.R. was registered on 2 February 1990, those who had produced and supported mimeographed booklets also registered, but under a different name — “The True Faith Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses of Romania” (C.A.M.I.R.) — a name not found in any Jehovah’s Witnesses literature. (see Informant from 1945 — did they proceed correctly?)

Later on, the “Religious Organisation of Jehovah’s Witnesses” and the “Christian Association Jehovah’s Witnesses” were also registered — similar in principle to C.A.M.I.R.

The “Jehovah’s Witnesses Association” re-legalised after 42 years of prohibition began immediately, from the very first month: 11 March 1990 and 25 March 1990, with two Bible discourses — congresses from which we present some images in the photo gallery section.

We continued with Bible discourses in most of the country’s cities, and then with house-to-house witnessing work, organised before the Bible discourses or solely as witnessing activity without public discourse.

Alongside the witnessing work at A.M.I.R. level, each publisher from the study groups took witnessing territory near their home — a practice still maintained today. For their training, Jehovah’s Witnesses regularly study the Bible twice a week in groups, using the original literature edited under the Watch Tower Society’s supervision up to 1948. From this we have clearly understood that every consecrated Christian has the duty to preach from house to house and in public:

a) Informant 1947: “Consecration Means Service”

b) V.N.I. no. 5, 1937 “Work” pg. 88, para. 38
“…Satan, the cunning enemy, now tries to lead those who have started walking the path of life to become negligent, to grow cold, and then to reject Jehovah. Whoever thinks that the work for the great multitude of people should be done after Armageddon and persists in this opinion is quickly descending the road to certain destruction. There is no reason why the Lord would command people to seek humility and righteousness to be protected during His anger if they would have a better chance after Armageddon. It is the right and privilege of well-disposed people to hear the truth now, and God commands His Witnesses to bring them the truth; neglect on the part of those entrusted with this work would mean their destruction. The Lord says that not only the bride class must consecrate themselves to proclaiming the Kingdom message, but also the people who hear the message are obliged to accept it and share it with others, saying: ‘Come and take the water of life freely’ (REVELATION 22:17). The well-disposed ones, the Jonadabs, the “other sheep” of the Lord, are likewise required to take part now in spreading the message of truth among others.”

c) V.N.I. no. 11, 1937 “Jehovah’s Provisions” part 2, pg. 191, para. 30
“… In the same way, the Lord Jesus Christ ordered a feast to be prepared during the arrival of the Benjamin class; yet it took quite some time until all participants were identified and until they all began to partake in the feast. For a time, there was uncertainty whether Jonadabs or well-disposed people could participate in the house-to-house witnessing work; in due time, their true position became understood and it was seen that it is their privilege to actively participate in the work. Then the time came when the Lord revealed to those who love and serve Him that the Festival of Booths foreshadowed how the anointed remnant and the well-disposed people, who form the great crowd, would celebrate together — and the Lord made this known to His people for the first time in 1936, even though preparations for this feast had been made earlier…”

d) Watchtower no. 23, 1946, pg. 16 “Let him that heareth say, Come” REVELATION 22:17
“The gentle ‘other sheep’ have the invitation of Christ Jesus which is made known by the remnant of His ‘bride’ class still on earth. Therefore, those gentle ones who hear also bear the command and obligation to say likewise: ‘Come!’ This obligation is imposed on them by the Bridegroom, by Jehovah’s anointed preacher, and it is right so, for salvation hinges on the principle that not only must it be heard and believed with the heart unto righteousness, but it must also be confessed with the mouth before others. Thus, the ‘other sheep’, when gathered into one ‘flock’, must make a confession in the same way the anointed remnant is obliged to do. In this respect, there is no difference between the spiritual Israelites and the ‘stranger class’ of this nation. That is why JOEL 2:32 places emphasis on the fact that ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord’ shall be saved.”

However, some of our brothers did not accept the registration of A.M.I.R. or the witnessing work, separating themselves and claiming that these duties belong only to the remnant.

We present evidence showing that the “great crowd” also shares the same service duties regarding registration and witnessing.

a) V.N.I. 1932, no. 6, pg. 87, para. 20
“…If a number of people wish to obtain legal status as a legal entity, they can proceed in two ways: either by having one or more persons legally hold rights for the defence of the whole group, or a number of people can form a legal person or a corporation — the latter being more convenient, as a corporation is seen as having perpetual existence and does not require the constant replacement of representatives…”

b) V.N.I. 1938, JONAH part 3 – COMPANIONS, para. 20, 26
“…Would it be appropriate for a Jonadab to lead the group in house-to-house service when the group servant appointed by rule is absent? If several people gather to take part in house-to-house service, and the group servant is absent, and only Jonadabs who are devoted to the Lord and show zeal for His house are present, then it is proper to appoint one of them to lead the service. Sometimes the Jonadabs are harshly criticised for doing so by someone with a ‘chosen elder’ spirit, but such criticism is mistaken. The following Scriptures are cited as support for the above conclusions and show that Jonadabs are helpers and companions of the anointed, that the responsibility of appointing group servants by vote lies with the anointed, and that all who are consecrated to God and His King must take part together in the service to glorify the King and Jehovah…”

Para. 26: “Notice that the Gibeonites had nothing to do with the election or appointment of Levites to service, but they assisted the Levites who were appointed to service by the Lord’s choice. The Gibeonites, who were made woodcutters and water carriers, clearly represented servants who carry out duties given by the priests of the Lord, i.e., the anointed of the Lord’s house. The Gibeonites placed their trust in Joshua to come to their aid in battle, and when they were in great distress, they urged Joshua to help them with a forced march, saying: ‘Do not abandon your servants’ (JOSHUA 10:6). This shows how the ‘other sheep’ or members of the great crowd rely on the Lord Jesus and His anointed body to lead them in battle and do so for their protection and assistance. They urge the anointed to be zealous in this, and all who have the Lord’s spirit rush into service to help the ‘other sheep’. The Gibeonites had to serve together with the Israelites, showing that the other sheep also take part in the service and do what the Lord’s organisation directs them to do. Some Gibeonites later helped David and were appointed to important positions. 1 CHRONICLES 12:1–4. Thus, we see that Ishmaiah ‘from Gibeon’ was placed over others in the group by being given a service duty. This illustrates that the class he represents — those forming the great crowd — are assigned service roles in the Lord’s Organisation even though they are not part of the anointed organisation…”

In addition to spreading the Kingdom gospel to people who do not know JEHOVAH GOD, A.M.I.R. has also addressed, both in writing and verbally through invitations, all those who bear the name of JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES and who, along with other materials, continue to study the sound literature published up to 1948, with the sincere desire to eliminate differences between A.M.I.R., C.A.M.I.R., A.C.M.I.R., and other unregistered separate groups.

The intention of A.M.I.R. has been, and still is, in this regard, to present the truth and the true state of affairs, so that all sincere individuals have the right to know it and thus make an appropriate decision — not to weaken other groups or attract new adherents, but to reunite joyfully in service to JEHOVAH all those who are spiritually nourished from this theocratic source provided by Jehovah God.

WATCHTOWER no. 5, 1924, pg. 72, paras. 45–47.
“… often among the brethren in Christ there are causes of strife; they fight against one another. They form separate classes in the same town, to the disgrace of the truth and the Kingdom. They think they are serving the Lord, but they are not, because the body of Christ is not divided. Nehemiah, instructing his people, told them: ‘Fight for your brothers,’ and did not say: ‘Fight against your brothers.’ Power lies in unified action. Christians are strong only when they fight for one another under the King’s banner.”

A simple illustration helps us understand this point: Four strong, vigorous bulls had grazed together for several days in the same pasture. They were always together. A jealous lion crouched in a nearby bush and lay in wait. But he was afraid to attack the bulls because they were united. So he decided to stir up jealousy among them — and succeeded. The bulls soon split and wandered off in four opposite directions of the pasture. The lion then took them one by one, attacked and killed them all. The moral is that Satan lurks to destroy the members of the Church. As long as they are together in unity, he cannot do it. But the moment he succeeds in sowing discord among them and turning them against each other — victory is his. So do not aid the devil. Fight for your brothers
