Description
English:

English translation:

I.... born.... in.... make the following statement:

1. I acknowledge that the International Association of Jehovah's Witnesses advocates a false doctrine using their religious activities as a pretext in the pursuit of their subversive aims. 2. I have therefore totally rejected this organization, and have freed myself emotionally from the sect. 3. I hereby undertake never again to work for the International Association of Jehovah's Witnesses. I shall report any persons who approach me with the false doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses or those who in any way display sympathy for them. Should I receive any Jehovah's Witness literature, I shall surrender it immediately to the nearest police station. 4. I shall in future observe the laws of the nation especially in the event of war when I shall take up arms to defend my Fatherland, and strive to become a whole-hearted member of the national community. 5. I have been informed that I must expect a further term of protective custody if I fail to observe the undertaking which I make today.
