    Facts don't support the contention that the Jehovah's Witnesses are a racist movement. In fact, Dr. Bergman, in his book, "Jehovah's Witnesses and the Problem of Mental Illness," notes that "most kingdom halls welcome blacks as full members. This fact is not unknown in the black community and has also aided the Witness missionaries working in Africa."

    Labeling the Watchtower or Jehovah's Witnesses as racist, without any factual support for such an allegation, supports the Watchtower apologists, who can point to "apostate accusations" as being entirely without support. There's plenty of things wrong with the Watchtower, and no need to fabricate problems in this regard.

    there was a thread on this six months ago - we all agreed JWs were not racist - though I do think it has taken them a long time to get an African American on the GB - I would also llke to see some Japanese and Hispanics - too many white Anglo-Saxons at the moment

    I am still looking and can not find the thread but when I get the link I will post it - this was discussed at length on this board a few months back .Witnesses are not racist and there are a high number of inter-racial marriages in the Watchtower and many african americans give talks at District coventions

    I’ve noticed that some witnesses accept witnesses being of another race, but being racist towards non-witnesses of another race.... On several occasions.

    So are you saying that some non-black witnesses have the attitude that the only good black person is a jw black person?

    Just want to be clear.
