"Watchtower 1999 10/1 p. 8 par. 13 Of course, the fact that Jehovah?s servants "weep" over the sorry state of world affairs does not preclude their being happy. On the contrary! They are actually the happiest group of people on earth."
Yes, the slave shed many a tear over the situation they were in, but yet the Master view them as happy
sure sounds like the WTS to me

Everybody sing along with me.........Moving on up....... To the East Side.........Moving on up....we finally got a piece of the pie....aye aye yayy ee yeahhhhhh!! Jehovah is speeding the diversity of the Governing Body is His own due time.
Personally, I think the only reason they included Brother Herd in this picture is because his complexion perfectly compliments the bound volumes on the book shelf. Notice he wore a gold colored tie and hanky which compliments the color scheme of the gold dates on the cover of the bound volumes. His addition to the Governing Body was strictly for the cosmetic purposes of this picture only. He's not really a member of the Governing Body.
Yeah, we're moving on up; we've got our token Neeeegro to prove it.
Take that, Babble On the Grape!

Miz, your a mess
I remember havin' a conversation with the sister who studied with me
she was black, so I asked her how did she feel about the accomplishments
that were achieved through in by people who pushed for civil rights,
she stated that " in time Jehovah would have moved mans heart to do right
but we have to wait on Jehovah "
Miz, when I was a little girl, there was this greasy spoon that served the best hot dogs
black folks would be lined up at the window to be served, cause Jehovah hadn't moved
the owners heart so that we could order from the inside of his establishment,
When ever Jw's go to thier local coffee shop, they should be glad that people didn't
sit back and wait on Jehovah to move mans hearts but fought for laws that would require
men to treat each other right, regaurdless of what their heart feels, you see I believe Jehovah
gave us the sense to do what we have to do to survive, and the things beyond our control
we leave in his hands
There is a book written by an old JW friend of mine who is a TV journalist at a local level. It's called "The Groveland Four" It is an excellent true story about what happened in Groveland, FL during the 1940's or '50's.
It has nothing to do with the WTS, and I may be off topic for mentioning it, but I thought anyone interested in this topic might be interested in the book.
Thank you drew I'll look that up
ok done,
readin' that reminds me of the Emmit Till case.
there are countless stories like the one you mentioned
because of the internet we can be made aware of the ones
that were not nationally known. To be accused of somethin' without
a fair trial, or for doin' somethin' you did not do is horriffic.
I was real upset about the Tawanna Brawley mess , because some how
it failed to sink in her head what we went through as a people, when it came to
being unjustly accussed, and for her to turn around and do the samething was just
as bad.
