this is actually not a former witness or anything, this is a cracked style article.

i think it's pretty funny, i think it's evidence that the wt is not going to be around forever.

just uploaded this vid about the watchtowers past racism.

let me know what you all think.. .

Personally I would prefer an introduction something like, "jw/wts claims not to be racist by following the bibles/jesus example... " But for those who believe in the bible it is just right.

I like the way you present the scriptures and wt quotes without being judgemental or aggressive. It is easy to follow and your voice sounds pleasant.

i think this was an uplifting and courageous video made by apple employees.

big thumbs up to apple for their courage in embracing their lgbt employees in this way.

as part of the it gets better campaign to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth, employees at apple have created a video with their stories about coming out and overcoming adversity, offering a rare glimpse into the personal lives of employees of the notoriously secretive company.. .

Good research of wt material!

I am not sure about the bible not being racist.

"I(Jesus)was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

Deut. 7:3-4: “You shall not intermarry with them, neither giving your daughters to their sons nor taking their daughters for your sons. For they would turn your sons from following me to serving other gods, and then the wrath of the Lord would flare up against you and quickly destroy you.”
This sounds like cultural discrimination to me.

I also find it disturbing how the Israelites were to slaughter the other races when they entered the promised land.

The Israelites took slaves, did they not?

Nevertheless, I like the video.
