Besides the strong hatred of woman, that we know the Witness religion teaches, did you ever see black bothers ignored in their attempt to reach out to be MS or elders? Did you ever see Latinos treated different because of how the local community viewed them? I know the Watchtower teaches that this does not happen, but I actually experienced an event with a black brother that was a friend, that bothered me when I was in the religion. His wife and him moved from California to Oregon, he had been an elder for many years in California. When he moved here, he was in good standings and the elders sent the appropriate letter to make it possible for a reappointment. The CO came, and the announcements were made and no announcement of him as an elder. The brother asked the elders what happened, and they stated that they never got the letter. He contacted the older congregation and they confirmed they sent it. Not wanting to call the local elders, "liars", he asked those California elders to call and explain. To which they did and the elders were all, "okay, no problem, we will handle this at the next CO visit." The man was disappointed, as you could image, he wanted to do more then the average publisher and had over a decade of elder experience. Well about six months goes by and here comes the CO, the elders met with the black brother and explained they would not appoint him. Their reason was, "his hours were not great, averaged about 10-15, and they felt his attitude in how he handled the last CO visit and their mistake, showed a lack of humility." So the CO came, no appointment. He Auxiliary Pioneered, he did everything he could, they never appointed him. Finally he moved back to California and was appointed on that congregations next CO visit. Now the elders in my old hall were all white older men. Not a ethnic blood in any of them. A year later a white brother moved into town and was here about a week or two and when that CO visit came, he was appointed, he ended up being a liar and a cheat on his wife and was disfellowshiped within the year. Am I wrong, or does that not smell of prejudice?
So, did anyone else see things like this?
