Just got back from field service. White guy driving a delivery truck waived at my partner and I, rolled down the window and yelled this. He meant no harm, just a jovial fellow working on a Saturday. Probably will laugh with his friends and family about this later. Funny thing was the rest of our group who were on a parallel street in the same territory, were mostly white. I gotta kick out of it thinking to myself, "oh the things people say when they see JW's in field service.
" You Jehovahs? Yeah? I knew cuz you're black. If you were white, you'd be Mormans! Ha! Have a good one!"

When I was a kid in the 60s, I remember a householder telling my grandmother she was surprised that she was placing the magazines because she thought "only black people were in the Black Watch".

TS has been here for years in one form or another. Not everyone who hangs out here is out.

In high school, I told a guy I was a JW. He didn't believe me because "only old black ladies are Jehovah's Witnesses." It was quite the job convincing him otherwise.

Reminds of me of an old (and slightly racist) joke. I don't think the joke is in particularly good taste, but it seems to suit the spirit of the OP. Apologies in advance.
(Copied from the internet.)
A zebra went to heaven. When he saw St. Peter he asked him "You know, I have always wondered, am I a white horse with black stripes or a black horse with white stripes?" St. Peter said he would have to ask God that question since he's the one that made him.
So the zebra asked God, "God, am I a white horse with black stripes or a black horse with white stripes?"
God answered, "You are what you are."
The zebra left and came upon St. Peter and told him,
"Well I asked God if I was a white horse with black stripes or a black horse with white stripes..."
"What was the answer," St. Peter asked.
"Well I still don't know. All He said was: 'You are what you are."'
"Well that answers it," Said St. Peter. "You're a white horse with black stripes."
"How do you know that?" asked the zebra.
"Well if you were a black horse with white stripes He would have said: "You is what you is". -

Mormons only wear white shirts. They are more righteous than the witnesses.

That delivery truck driver have no clue that black jehovah's witnesses
think they should have waited on the kingdom rather than be able to eat at
the coffee shop of thier choice out in field service
Yea, we prefer to sit on the side of a dusty road to take a break
while we Wait on Jehovah.
In the mean time, we can wonder what it'll be like to eat in the paradise cafe
LOL
