firpo carr argues that while many white apostates claim to highlight so-called 'racist' remarks and terminology in the watchtower literature, most such apostates are in fact white and have little real interest in black issues.
they are only interested in the issue in so far as they can use it to promote white anti-witness propaganda, whereas a high percentage of loyal witnesses are black.
i know that all the terms of my topic are debatable: apostacy is a witness term of derogation; apostates probably are mostly liberal and not racist (essentially); and they are not a 'movement' in any case.
my kids get confused when someone says they are black because when they look in the mirror and at each other they see brown faces and bodies that arent even close to black.
when my youngest was born he was very light and my kids kept asking me "mommie when is the baby gonna get brown?"

Daisy my dear take some advice from an old married chick:
What you and your soon to be husband do in the privacy of your bedroom or where ever else you to want to get down (not in public i hope lol) is none of anyone's business. That includes the brothers, the elders, any stray ministrial servant, any nosey pioneer sisters, or even your parents. I do not believe that God is gonna damn you for taking and giving pleasure to your soon to be hubby. And anyway the "brothers" have slightly changed their mind on the issue, it is now a matter of conscience.

Wait a minute are you trying to use the "Bell Curve" theory here?

oral sex is wrong even if your married?
Yes, the brothers say it is unnatural and is only something that homosexuals do and therefore is unclean.
Before you take that big dip Daisy you should use your computer, find a well stocked jw library and do some research on the religious organisation you are so willing to give your life to.

Witnesses are predominantly Black.Apostates are predominantly white.
Really? Is that true? Can you show me some numbers?

were they all dates from hell?
any "immorality"?
did you ever "date" knowing the person was never "marriage material"?
Any "immorality"?
Yes! Mine and others. Alot of jw teens and young 20's were running around like rabbits. At least that's what I remember.

i seem to remember reading more than a few times how christmas was celebrated in the "old days" along with wearing the lapel pin with the cross & crown insignia.
seems christmas got the boot from rutherford but was celebrated for a while in brooklyn and even had some pictures from one of the parties.
problem is, i can't seem to find anything.
way back when jws did celebrate jws, it's just that most who are in it now dont know that historic fact and refuse to believe that jws ever did celebrate christmas. here's what I have found and there is tons more info out there:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2919/ for a picture of jws celebrating christmas
