  Why is the white race so different?

  by Crazyguy in

  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?

  I am a Black person.

  I am not ignorant - or racist.

  I believe SOMETHING happened in the past that makes life harder for us than other groups.

  The Bible and other sacred texts tell us that it stemmed from Ham's disrespect toward his father, Noah, and by extension, God.

  It was foretold by God, through Noah, that Ham would be in subjection to Shem and Japheth.

  Ham, Cush, Mitzraim, and Canaan tried to give lie to this prophecy, but to no avail.

  What Noah prophesied is still being played out on a global scale.

  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!

  And, it's about people who are closely attuned to their environment.

  For example, my late mother could tell time to the minute just by observing the sun.

  That is my belief, Cofty.

  I'm not going there with you again.

  Well said, Etude.

  From a Biblical standpoint, the Hamitic group was the first world power, the Semitic next, followed by the Japhetic.

  Will this group be the last?

  From what is going on in Washington, Western, and Northern Europe, looks like it.

  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.

  Feigning illness to miss a meeting

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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..

  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.
