Jehovah's Witnesses believe what the Bible says: "God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him." (Acts 10:34, 35) They view their fellow Witnesses in all countries as spiritual brothers and sisters, regardless of race or color. (Matthew 23:8) And the fact that such a global brotherhood does exist in the world today adds to the evidence that God's purpose will soon be realized.
Uh.....yah.
We go from a "God that is not partial to any (hu)man that fears him"(Acts)...to....fellow Witnesses viewing each other as bros an sistahs regardless of race of color. What's wrong with the paragraph?
Anyone? Anyone?
This is a prime example of "cherry picking".
You take the scripture from Acts, which is CLEAR to any observer, that such said "God is not partial and accepts"...then you pick a scripture that talks about brotherhood to fit the square peg in to your eltist-point-of-view-circle-hole. Crimeny sakes....I think I have an IDEA!
I will use WTS methods of "cherry picking" to prove a point:
Followers of D8TA believe what the Bible says: " But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me." (Luke 19:27) They view that it is acceptable to vanquish any enemy of God.(Acts 13:10) And the fact that such persecution and vanquishing of Witnesses does exist in the world today, adds to the evidence that God's purpose will soon be realized.

Cherry picking....mmmmmmmmmm. * Homer Simpson Garggle *
