Black ***** Human Baboon Wannabes, Jabriol & JWS. |
As we all known the Watchtower's racist Governing Body does not
allow any [black ***** human wannabes] minorities or
[subservient] women to serve on the Governing Body.
Racial Attitudes
*** Watchtower 1973 January 15 p.37 Why Believe in God? ***
In race relations, do you see genuine improvement among the
nations of the world? Most people readily say 'no'; there are
strong racial hatreds on every continent. But we read statements
like this one concerning Jehovah's witnesses:
"I am struck with their genuine high regard for the people of
all races. Unlike some who pay lip service to the doctrine of
racial brotherhood, the Witnesses welcome all to their
society—even to places of outstanding leadership—without
reference to color or feature."—G. Norman Eddy in Journal of
Bible and Religion.

Blacks Cursed by God?***
What Is the Bible's View?
Are Blacks Cursed by God?
[…]
Even up to a hundred years ago the Catholic Church held the view
that blacks were cursed by God. Maxwell explains that this view
"apparently survived until 1873 when Pope Pius IX attached an
indulgence to a prayer for the 'wretched Ethiopians in Central
Africa that almighty God may at length remove the curse of Cham
[Ham] from their hearts.'"

*** Awake! 1982 February 8 p.14-15 The Races—What Is Their
Origin? ***
Have the churches of Christendom always treated "everyone on the
same basis"? Consider how the Catholic and Lutheran Churches
supported Hitler's scheme to produce a "master race." And for
centuries the Catholic Church taught that Negroes were a cursed
race. John F. Maxwell states in his book Slavery and the
Catholic Church that this view "apparently survived until 1873
when Pope Pius IX attached an indulgence to a prayer for the
'wretched Ethiopians in Central Africa that almighty God may at
length remove the curse of Cham [Ham] from their hearts.'"
(Italics ours) And even to this day some church organizations
openly practice racial discrimination.
Regardless of how politicians and religionists view the matter,
the Bible and science indicate that all races are equal and
descend from a common source. Interestingly, The Great Soviet
Encyclopedia, 1970, Vol. 2, page 149, refers to the "scientific
concept of the equality of the races" and admits the "scientific
validation" of humanity's single origin.

.The negro race is supposed to be descended from Ham, whose
special degradation is mentioned in Gen. 9:22, 25.

*** The Watchtower of April 15, 1900 p. 122 ***
There are probably as many as a hundred colored brethren on the
Watch Tower lists, some of them very clear in the truth, and
very earnest in its service, financially and otherwise. We have
received letters from several of these, who had intended
engaging in the volunteer work, expressing surprise that in the
call for volunteers in the March 1st issue we restricted the
inquiry to white Protestant churches. They rightly realized that
we have not the slightest of race prejudice, and that we love
the colored brethren with just the same warmth of heart that we
love the white, and they queried therefore why such a
distinction should be made in the call. The reason is that so
far as we are able to judge, colored people have less education
than whites — many of them quite insufficient to permit them to
profit by such reading as we have to give forth. Our conclusion
therefore is based upon the supposition that reading matter
distributed to a colored congregation would more than half of it
be utterly wasted, and a very small percentage indeed likely to
yield good results.
