For example, in 1930 they persuaded the minister of the interior to cancel our postal rights for the Golden Age magazine, which fearlessly exposed religious hypocrisy. But only a few weeks later, the minister was forced from office, and his successor once again permitted The Golden Age to be imported and to be circulated by mail.

Those who opposed the Witnesses finally succeeded in blocking all importation of The Golden Age from Switzerland. So, in 1933, the brothers undertook printing it in Łódź. Each time the clergy brought pressure to bear on a printer so that he would no longer work for the brothers, they found someone else who was glad to do it. This happened repeatedly, until, following many confiscations ordered by the censorship office, a ban was imposed on the magazine itself. After appealing this decision, the brothers kept right on publishing The Golden Age until the ban was upheld and Augustyn Raczek, the magazine’s editor, was sentenced to a year in prison.

It might have seemed to the opposers that they had achieved their aim. However, the brothers did not give up. The last issue of The Golden Age was dated September 1, 1936. On October 1 of that same year, it was replaced by a new magazine printed in Warsaw. Entitled Nowy Dzień (New Day), it continued to publish articles that exposed corruption and religious hypocrisy and that upheld Bible truth. It was printed in Warsaw until the outbreak of World War II.

When “Złoty Wiek” (The Golden Age) was banned, the brothers changed the name to “Nowy Dzień” (New Day)
