"The greatest and most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American
empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of
America forms a part . It has been the commercial Jews of the
British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a
means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations
particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold
of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a
proverb concerning the city of New York which says: 'The Jews own it, the
Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills.'

1934 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses which contains a "Declaration of Facts"
"there is no servant in the world as good as a good colored servant" (Golden Age, July 24th 1929)
"...colored people have less education than whites
- many of them quite insufficient to permit them to profit by such reading as we have to give forth. Our conclusion therefore is based upon the supposition that reading matter distributed to a colored congregation would more than half of it be utterly wasted, and a very small percentage indeed likely to yield good results."-
Watchtower 1900 Apr 15 p.122

Russell seemed to dislike certain racist outlooks. But at one point he
wrote: "The secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the Caucasian un-
doubtedly in great measure is to be attributed to the commingling of blood
amongst its various branches; and this was evidently forced in large measure by
circumstances under divine control. It remains to be proven that the similar
commingling of the various tribes of Chinese for several centuries would not
equally brighten their intellects; and the same with the peoples of India and
Africa." ("Zion's Watch Tower," July 15, 1902, p.216)"We answer, No. But all will admit that what the Ethiopian cannot do for him-
self God could readily do for him. The difference between the races of men and
the differences between their languages have long been arguments against the
solidarity of the human family. The doctrine of restitution has also raised the
question, How could all men be brought to perfection and which color of skin was
the original? The answer is now provided."God can change the Ethiopian's skin in his own due time. Prof. H. A. Ed-
wards, Supt. of Schools in Slater, Mo., has written for the public press an
elaborate description of how Julius Jackson, of New Frankfort, Mo., a negro boy
of nine years, began to grow white in September, 1901, and is now fully nine-
tenths white. He assures us that this is no whitish skin disease; but that the
new white skin is as healthy as that of any white boy, and that the changed boy
has never been sick and never has taken medicines." ("Watchtowers Reprints,"
Feb.15, 1904, pp.3319,3320)1934 Joseph Rutherford wrote "Favored People." On p.5 it says:
"The people now on earth called Jews are a commercial people. Among
them are some of the richest and most avaricious men the world has
ever known. Some of the chief men of Big Business are called Jews.
Many of these people are very arrogant, self-important, and extremely
selfish. They have little or no faith in God's Word and do not be-
lieve at all in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior of man.""Some may argue segregation is prohibited by God, citing Galatians 3:28 (NW):
'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all one in union with Christ Jesus.' That
Paul spoke in a spiritual sense and not in a literal, physical sense is obvious,
since actually there were male and female, slave and free, Jew and Greek. Be-
cause of the existence of Jew and Greek he specially accommodated himself and
his preaching to such classes. (1 Cor. 9:19-22) His recognition of slave and
freeman we will consider in more detail, since it bears directly on segregation.
How so? Because segregation is rooted in slavery, is the outgrowth and hangover
of slavery. Segregation, the stain left by slavery, is a lesser evil than slav-
ery. So if the Bible does not instruct Christians to fight slavery it would not
sanction them to battle the lesser evil of segregation, at the expense of gos-
pel-preaching."..."So let us please God by preaching the gospel despite the undesirable condi-
tions the Devil’s world may make for us. Let us not be sidetracked by Satan and
caught in a subtle snare camouflaged in lofty motives and ideals. Can we not
wait upon Jehovah to avenge the wrongs we suffer now? Really, our colored
brothers have great cause for rejoicing. Their race is meek and teachable, and
from it comes a high percentage of the theocratic increase ("The Watchtower," Feb.1, 1952, p.95)====
These quotes from WTS publications reveal the simple-minded,idiotic thinking of WTS leaders and shows as much as anything else they are no more inspired by any Creator as they are about being honest with their worshipping members.

Blue collar work men - the salt of the earth and an aspiration for all.
Didn't you know? Any time they show white collar workers in WTS publications they're either:
- working overtime because they're materialistic
- an alcoholic with a highball glass in their hand
- flirting or being harrassed
- fighting with their spouse after work
