Apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs. It's news to me, but that's the only way I can explain this latest cover from the Society.

Don't forget current members are liable to be labelled 'mentally diseased' as well, so they might not be accused of total prejudice...
Memorial partakers. This is the number of baptized individuals who partake of the emblems at the Memorial worldwide. Does this total represent the number of anointed ones on earth? Not necessarily. A number of factors—including past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance—might cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling. We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.
The cult that encourages discrimination and incites prejudice through inflammatory langauge has balls of steel to publish this!
Except against women.
No-one in the picture is obviously female, gay or an apostate so no prejudices at all!
HA! Prejudice is the child of ignorance. Watchtower breeds ignorance. The average JW will think that since they try to ignore the race of people, they are not prejudiced.
Good call, Cedars.
Well with the writers of the Watchtower all steeped neck high in black and white thinking they have a hard time with variables or degrees in prejudice. To them prejudice only applies to nationality, and skin color, and does not include prejudice over religious beleifs, being a nonmember, or questioning their authority.
Black and white thinking at its worst.
I wonder what dirty joke the white guy had just said...
No prejudice? So, brothers can't tell jokes?
Latino dude looks slightly uncomfortable...what, does he barely speak english and laughs just to blend in?
I can point at least 10 more implied prejudice hints in that picture...
Blue collar work men - the salt of the earth and an aspiration for all.

They need to get back to work. That's $100 an hour right there going up in smoke while the white guy tells dirty jokes. The only guy doing his job is Jorge on those rusted lug nuts because he doesn't know English anyway.
