i think i'm just ornery when it comes to equality.
ever since i can remember, i've always believed that all people were created equal.
the colour of a person's skin is irrelevent to me.
Phizzy,
You are 100% correct and when they step on my property with their literature they will get a witnessing that they were not expecting. ARC and the other pedophile cases, how to raise children and how to treat women as their equals.
It is not just Witnesses but any injustices are worth fighting. That is why Fighter got tacked onto my name. LOL

The Answer:- The Newspapers. And because it's in the Newspaper it doesn't make it true, and if a story has an element of truth, it's because it's usually largely exaggerated.
The Rebel.
That is an extremely true statement, I personally have not purchased a newspaper for any reason other then advertisements in more then 30 years. I lived in Washington DC for 50 years, there is one National Park you see in pictures all the time it is a straight shot. All grass nothing but grass very well maintained and kept cleaned every day and night by the United States Park Service. You will see their people there all the time cleaning. My estranged husband and many of my friends are now retired but at the time were United States Park Police Officers. One particular day a demonstration went bad and the demonstrators according to the printed media and the TV media "picked up what was available to defend themselves against the police" . What they found in this very clean Grass park to us 4 X 4 with spikes nailed through them. More then a dozen officers were hospitalized and out of work for some time due to their injuries. Newspaper nor the media NEVER told that part of the story nor the Officer's horse that was injuried. They only talked about the undue force the officers took trying to break up the fighting between the different protesters. Oh and no one was shot that day.
race is asserting itself as a problematic issue united states once more.

I was asking a question about the JW. I was never a JW. But DC including it's school system was pretty much separated till 1970. I know from my travels south during this time period everything south of DC most definitely would have been separated. Restaurant, movie theaters, schools, churches etc everything would have been divided.

TD,
DC was pretty much the dividing line back then. Everything was either black or it was white from there south. True neighborhoods were also very divided back then.
now the majority of people nowadays do no go by the hope of old times.
now the reason for this is important and goes beyond mere words.
our culture sees ethics especially national or civil politics as the rules and standards by which we guide ourselves.
Vivian,
Christians have choices, we as a human race are not robots we can choice what we believe. So if we choice to believe in a religion we can pick one that best fits our belifs.
Some of us even believe in God and do not believe in the Bible.

You clearly said Christians, I am pointing out that there are many denominations that have different beliefs. For an example how many years did you preach the JW cult interpretation of the Bible. Well there is also the Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist and so on. Within the Lutheran religion there are two different segments of believers and they do things completely different. In Christianity you cannot make a blanket statement of their beliefs like you did. My girlfriend is an Elder in the Methodist Church. One branch of the Methodist Church women can hold all positions including Minister and Board members and in the other women are treated just like in the JW cult.
All I am saying is you need to qualify your statement.

OrphanCrow,
Yes, if they empowered women could you only imagine how much less drama there would be in the KH.

TD,
I just looked it up. The DC schools officially started bussing with the attempt to reach 50/50 in 1970.
