Why Aren`t The G.B Members Representive Of All Nations ? and not just America ? (page 2)

Isn't it obvious that God has always favored the European white race?

What's he ever done for the other races? He even gave them a "counterfeit" Holy Book to confuse them about The Bible. (Only white Europeans got The Bible).

Isn't Splane Canadian? Or is that Sanderson?

In any event, yeah, it's pretty much a pudgy white guy network (aside from Bro. Token-Herd) - no Africans, no Asians, no Latinos.

JW's founded in the USA by a white guy and the religion was spread by local whites only eventually to cross over to other colors and ethnic groups in the USA. As the JW's grew they naturally spread out to other countries but they are a USA religion just like mormons and 7th dayers.

The Silver Sword bible that made eveyone so happy was just for english speakers. Too bad for the rest of jw's.

just saying!

This wiki page offers some pretty decent information and links to each of the current GB's info on the JW.borg website/library.

I am not defending the GB but I don’t like the concept of stipulating where members must come from. It means that one is selected above another just because he is ,say African and a more capable man is denied because they have too many Americans already.

Actually, he was being unintentionally honest.

It IS presumptuous.

The facts are that when Jesus was examining the world religions in 1918/19 he only found one that was doing his will and that happened to have headquarters in Brooklyn. If Jesus was predisposed to choose mostly Americans to be his faithful slave, how can we blame his slave for merely following suit.
