When Russel first saddled his way around he often was heard telling Indians to get off their horse and drink their milk!
Obviously the Indians thought he must be from god cuz noone else milked horses till he arrived!
But the idea never caught on cuz the animals are temperamental that way so he started on the miracle wheat sown in its season mularkey which sucked in all the Arian race being as they had all the brains!
Were we the lucky ones?
Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe Native Americans existed because there's no mention of them in the bible. They believe Native Americans were fictional characters in John Wayne westerns.

There are actually a lot of people raised as JWs that don't realize that there was an ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD besides what is remarked about in the bible, that was living functioning and recording history. The bible is the supposed account of Jewish people. What about Asians that have the longest recorded written history in the world? What was going on there? Native Americans, what was going on there? Even when pointed to historical figures that were here way before Jesus, they can't seem to wrap their minds around it. It's interesting to me.
BTTTTT
If you really pressed a zealous JW, they would tell you two things, 1) that any Native American tribes came to the Americas sometime after the Flood, and 2) the radiocarbon dates which give ages which disagree with "Bible Chronology" are erroneous.
It is fun to ask a JW to explain how radiocarbon dating actually works, as few, if any, have even a remote idea of concepts such as "half-life", "daughter products" etc. But they can sure tell you WHY radiocarbon dating is not to be trusted : )
Hasn't there been articles or new events about coming across from Russia or China through Alaska or something
to those remarks? Well they probably are skeptical about Christopher Columbus too. Seems you got to see it before you believe it,
unless it comes from the Gb.

History according to JW's:
Prehistory - Adam & Eve, Noah
Ancient History - Israel.
Middle History - nothing much really happened. There were some people and some wars and stuff, we've heard. And apparently™ there were some annointed Christians here and there.
Modern History - Us! Us! Us!
History according to JW's
Well done, Dan.
Imagine what it must be like to be the holodeck operator in Brooklyn. You have only so many physical concepts, data points and ingredients to work with, but you have to mix, match, recombine, reconstitute, alternate, fudge, slip, slide and Abednego so that you have what will be on average considered to be an actual new product of spiritual food at the proper time. You have a temporal radius of 6000 years: draw a line from that act of creation to the present and you have a Hawking light cone of increasing geographic radius centered, for basically all of history, on one tiny subset of homo sapiens who happened to have written one of the more intriguing, zesty and occasionally compelling narratives. A couple of Roman accidents later, and lo, post hoc ergo propter hoc absolutely demonstrates that the emergence of the JWs was written in frikin stone before God thunk of getting out of bed. And you have to mix and match so well that there appears to be actual variety or granularity that can compete, nay, supercede the granularity of questions on the scale of where the Native Americans came from. It is a constant battle of switch-hitting between the right-handed sword of logos, using modern science to point to some divine creation, and then in a split second using the shield of faith to deny that modern science can penetrate 'assured realities'. Sun Tzu would be so proud of this legerdemain that he'd roll in his grave. That has got to be one busy, dirty, thankless job. Mike Rowe should do an episode in Brooklyn.
mike row,who he?
