b Time and again, those who disowned Jesus and Jehovah out of fear of men have found no favor from the world. For example, see The Watchtower of May 1, 1989, page 12; 1982 Yearbook, page 168; 1977 Yearbook, pages 174-6; 1974 Yearbook, pages 149-50, 177-8. On the other hand, even determined opposers of the good news anticipate that the Witnesses will not disown Jesus and Jehovah. (1989 Yearbook, pages 116-18) See also Matthew 10:39 and Luke 12:4.
