what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).
the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .

I remember the discussion of that May 1974 KM well.
I was 20 years and 6 months old.
At the KH, I was sitting in an uncomfortable folding chair with a restless, irritable 6-month old.
I was so certain I had found the true people of God.
That was 43 years ago this month.
as jws , we all remember the thought of dragging oneself out of bed on a nice sunny sunday meeting or getting home tired after a hard day at work contemplating another boring , pointless , repetitive weekday evening meeting.. as the only legitimate reason for missing a meeting is illness , the only way for anyone to avoid a meeting that they really couldn't be bothered to go to ( ie most of them ) is to "pretend" to be ill. so given an average meeting attendance of 60% or so , invariably many people would be missing , presumed dead ( or "ill".
we used to have a congregation game of football ( soccer ) on a sunday afternoon and it always amused me how many jws who were "too ill" to attend the meeting on the morning would suddenly recover , lazarus style , to play without exhibiting any signs of the apparently near fatal acute health condition of that morning.
one of the more officious elders tried to introduce a rule that the only ones who could play would have to have been at the meeting that morning , but in practice it was very difficult to police and the better players tended to be the ones who missed most meetings.. one of the problems was the risk that some well meaning and / or nosey jw would phone up ( or even turn up , unannounced ) at the house to see "how you were" and clearly it didn't go down too well if they found you in rude health chasing the dog or kids around the garden..
So am I.
Oh, Freedom!
Before I'll be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave ...
Oops! Sorry, Dozy.

Same here.
One nosy heifer even called to inform me, "Nothing about your illness was announced from the platform."
In other words, if it wasn't mentioned during the meeting, it wasn't legitimate!
I'd just been discharged from the emergency room where I'd been treated for overwhelming anxiety.

I remember attending a CA on the same Saturday as the Iron Bowl.
Boop! Boop! Boop!
During the late afternoon session, brothers were pouring outside to their vans and SUV's to watch the game.
I don't blame them.
For those who are clueless, google Iron Bowl in Alabama, and you will understand.
Sure sounds better than those Kingdom Melodies.
I remember when all three elders were away for some reason, a ministerial servant conducted the WT Study.
Everybody agreed it was one of the best and liveliest ever.
One jealous elder was none too pleased when they returned and heard the glowing reviews.
This was the same one who exercised so much control that his wife felt a need to ask him which size eggs to buy.
Bastard!

Flipper, I KNOW we are cousins!
WTWizard, I KNOW White people can't stand as much sun as Black people!
i recently watched a documentary about andamanese people on youtube.. the andaman archipelago is officially ruled by india and lies in the bay of bengal, between the eastern coast of india and burma.. the indigenous people are or were stone age people, hunter-gatherers.. they have the general appearance and stature of african pygmy people.. there are 4 main surviving groups: great andaman (made up of several tribes, although the remaining people are few in number and have discarded tribal boundaries), jarawa, onge, and sentinelese.
i've read a bit about their languages (only on wikipedia - tsk!
tsk!
Thank you, LUHE.
I don't know how to do pictures on my tablet.
