"There Is No Servant InThe World As a Good Colored Servant"

The Watchtower Society is supposed to be without racial prejudice. God's channel would be expected to be unlike the world in its ungodly views. Yet, the Watchtower magazine as well as other publications at times spoke of the black race as accursed, uneducated and unable to adequately teach the Word thru the publications. As a matter of fact, they were discouraged from pioneering at one time because they were regarded as so unlearned, that to pass out literature and read and teach people was considered a waste. Yet, God is not partial and he certainly doesn't look at a person's color or heritage to determine whether he will approve of them........For those that might say,"Well, that was said along time ago and the Society has changed", I say, "That's not the point". The Household og God should be without blemish and the attitudes that exist, even today in the congregations, show that prejudice still does abound.

Thank you, minimus.

I hope Brother Herd did his research too before joining the GB!

I've met Brother Herd. He's of a different mold.

Aren't coloreds better servants though?

.

But aren't they better at most things? Better dancers, singers, love-makers? Bwhahaha!!!!

I'd like to know when exactly, the politically incorrect "coloreds" changed to "black". ......Maybe Charles Taze Russell was trying to say that the "faithful and Discreet (Wise) Servant was actually "colored"??? ........btw, What does "colored" mean???

Joyzabel
