Mr. Smauel Herd :
Before you gave this wonderful talk on women ,you should of read this article out loud to yourself ! Your race was not really admired 100 years ago by the Watch Tower.
While it is true that the white race exhibits some qualities of superiority over any other, we are to remember that there are wide differences in the same Caucasian (Semitic and Aryan) family; and also we should remember that some of the qualities which have given this branch of the human family its preeminence in the world are not such as can be pointed to as in all respects admirable....The secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the Caucasian undoubtedly 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. (Zion's Watch Tower, July 15, 1902, p.215-216)

WOW! Thanks for that quote R&R!
Seriously? Russel actually wrote that, and the "sheep" ate it up?
That is just inexcusable!
This needs to be sent to an equal opportunity / racial discrimination specialist! Even though it was 100 years ago, the org needs to issue an "unequivocal apology" for printing that stuff!

a woman saying "if she were a man....." is borderline being a homosexual
That all depends on what the "....." is:
- "If I were a man, I'd horsewhip every abuser that I found out about." -- not necessarily a lesbian.
- "If I were a man, I'd have sex with every hot woman I could." -- may be a lesbian, but really needs to clarify that by saying "a smart, rich, hot man".
Whatever the case, trying to make sense out of the crap coming out of his mouth is impossible. It's so totally sexist and devoid of any sense. WT Corp is doomed in the hands of idiots like this guy.

Oubliette pointed out the "craniometry connection" in Sam Herd's thinking.
Back in the 1920s a Watchtower bigwig named F. H. Robison authored a series titled "Color And Character" that appeared in Golden Age magazine.
A replica reprint of this series is available from LULU.com. -

Thanks for posting that Khaleesi
It has to be one of the dumbest speeches ever made in the history of humanity.
Apparently he is one of the 7 most important men on earth.
Please keep talking in public GB.

Two new candidates for the Governing Body(tm)! With the craniums that these two have, they must be packing some huge mass of gray matter and intellectual capacity. If Tony Tight Pants were to meet them, I bet he'd say that these two are among the 'thinkingest' people on earth.

Mr Herd,
Here is an article written 113 years ago degrading the nations of negroes. You Sir, have come a long way in the eyes of the Watchtower Society. Women aren't under subjection to any man just like the Negro race is not under subjection to the white race!
