My question is, what does genocide that this entire world is guilty of one way or another, just like the British in the 19 century to protect the Crown as it were has to do with the WT. Since you specifically state the USA, Are you related to Piers Morgan? Mate!!

SonoftheTrinity17 hours agoThe weird part of the gendercide is that men are emigrating from China, not just for the money or the freedom, but to find a wife. Expect more Black and Latino Chinese people in the world.
I live in a suburb is Sydney that now has a very high Chinese population. (more than 23 Chinese grocery shops at last count), so I've been able to talk to a variety of Chinese. Most seem to move to western countries because they feel more comfortable with the lower population levels. China is high pressure in many different ways, including the fact that there are nearly always a lot of people around you. The other big reason is to live where there is cleaner air. Beijing or Shanghai may not be the most polluted cities in the world (I believe Delhi in India has won that award, but maybe it depends on which day they tested the air quality), but the air pollution level can be high.
But you are right, there is an imbalance in the M/F ratio. The Wikipedia entry notes:"The sex ratio at birth is commonly thought to be 107 boys to 100 girls,[2] although this value is subject to debate in the scientific community. The sex ratio for the entire world populationis 101 males to 100 females.[3]
The precise imbalance is disputed, estimates range from 18,000,000 to 30,000,000 excess males over women. A figure which some have noted, almost exactly matches the estimates on the number of gay men in China, hence a case for the legalisation of gay marriage, has been presented to the National Parliament. (So far, with negative results.)
Gender imbalance may arise as a consequence of various factors including natural factors, exposure to pesticides and environmental contaminants,[4] war casualties, gender-selective abortions and infanticides, aging, and deliberate gendercide.
More data is available for humans than for any other species, and the human sex ratio is more studied than that of any other species, but interpreting these statistics can be difficult." Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio
But it is indisputable, that some men in China, may never marry. A side result is that women become more choosy, so money, a good job, a car and a house, are used as 'bait' to catch a presentable wife.
Its quite instructive to watch episodes of a 'mating' show, called Fei Cheng Wu Rao, (非诚勿扰) which is translated into English as "If You are the one," but I prefer a more down to earth translation, as "If you havn't got what I want, then p*ss-off". Some sample episodes are posted below. In the show, one lone male faces twenty four prospective girlfriends and gets "done-over." It has audiences of 50,000,000 or so in China.I watch it, because it gives an indication of how the 400-500 million Chinese, who have moved from 3rd world to first world within the last 30-40 years see their world.
You have to think that from that perspective, this 'nation within a nation,' is the largest "wealthy" nation on earth. And pressing behind them, there are another 300-400 million who are on the way to achieving a middle class existence, and behind them the remainder, maybe up to 500 million who have moved from desperately poor to just poor. Of course, its possible for a kid born desperately poor to jump to a middle-class status by the time he's 30. These opportunities exist in China.
Perhaps in the next 30 years, China will not be different to the average western nation of todayHere's a couple of episodes of "If you are the one."
And, in this episode, A Canadian Chinese wants a Chinese girlfriend/wife:

Note a Japanese woman among the 24 prospects. This episode has English sub-titles

And in this episode, an Italian, seeks a Chinese girlfriend/wife, which brings out some interesting reactions:

There are English sub-titles, but they are a bit hard to see.

My question is, what does genocide that this entire world is guilty of one way or another, just like the British in the 19 century to protect the Crown as it were has to do with the WT. Since you specifically state the USA, Are you related to Piers Morgan? Mate!!Nope, mate! Not related to Piers Morgan.
You are asking (I think) why I chose to post information on that incident? The answer is simple, It showed up on a few history related links (in the USA) that I subscribe to. I looked and thought it was interesting so posted.
You seem to think that everything here must relate to the JWs in some way. I see it from another perspective, that this site is about escaping the grip of cult and then is about our life afterwards.
I admit that I left it a bit late to escape from the grim, grey castle in which Yahweh imprisons his victims (a description I've borrowed from a friend), but now I'm free, I let my mind range over a wide area of human activity. Do you think that's a good thing for people to do once they realise that their minds were imprisoned in Christianity/
I will graduate from my University this year (at the age of 80) with many more credit points than I need for graduation, because I chose to cover a wider range of Asian studies than what was required. I now feel at home with the historical past and present across Asia, from east to west (including early Jesusland). I can see that there was no "line of truth" from Adam to the Watchtower or any other modern version of Christianity.
This gives me some other advantages, for example, many contemporary historians have realised that what we call WW1, was not really a world war, but was an extension of long-running European "civil war" (if you like to use that description) which involved the colonies of European powers. Once you adopt that perspective, you can see that 1914 was not so unique. And, that Charlie Russell's description of 1914 bringing an end to a long era of peace, was false. Does that make sense to you?
If you need a briefer description, I post to show (in my way) that you can have a bloody great life after walking away from Jesusland.

fulltimestudent,
"And, that Charlie Russell's description of 1914 bringing an end to a long era of peace..."
This is a bit off subject but I should say that Charles Russell stated that 1914 was to be the end of social strife (Armageddon which started in 1874) and the beginning of the peaceful Millennium. It wasn't until that prediction utterly failed that the Watchtower changed its teachings to 1914 being the beginning of social strife.

Well it’s great to get a degree. I have many, but I don’t get the analogy since killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand is the best held belief World War 1 was started, not to mention that Russell wrote about a completion for the year 1914. Was he correct? Yes he was, unless you’re assuming somehow Russell and the ZWT started it. But I do understand the cultural difference on how things are taught.
- Before World War 1 started, a series of defense alliances existed between many European countries. If one country declared war against another, other countries would be forced, by treaty, to enter the conflict.
- France, Britain and Ireland, and Russia formed an alliance known as the Triple Entente. Germany was allied with Austria-Hungry. They were known as the Central Powers.
- When Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914, it triggered a chain of events that resulted in World War 1.
- Following the assassination, Austria-Hungary, who blamed Serbia for the death of the Archduke, threatened war unless they agreed to a set of harsh demands. Germany sided with Austria-Hungary, and Russia backed Serbia. Europe was on the brink of war.
- On 28th July, one month after the Archduke’s assassination, Austria-Hungary (supported by Germany) declared war on Serbia. On 1st August, Germany declared war on Russia, and on 3rd August Germany declared war on France.
- On 4th August, German troops marched on France, taking a route through Belgium. Britain had agreed to guarantee Belgium’s neutrality, and immediately declared war on Germany.
- British and German forces clashed on 23rd August at the Battle of Mons, which took place in Belgium. This was the first battle between the British and the Germans on the Western Front.
