we have to get rid of these racist relics.
i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !
we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.
Movies and radio shows from the 1920s through the 1950’s/1960’s often portrayed African-American women as maids or domestic help. For example a popular radio personality in the 1940s was a maid called Beulah. ( Somebody bawl for Beulah) and was actually voiced by a skinny white guy ( google Marlin Hurt). But the accents and inflections were the same as the ads posted above.
Funny, the way the Happy Days ad is written is how most kids spell when they text today.

Cream of Wheat is also being targeted. I guess having a professional chef from Chicago named Frank L White since the 1920's be the face of the product for almost 100 years is now racist.
It's unfortunate that there are some people who are just looking for things to be offended by instead of actually being offended. It helps no one.
lately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!
i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.
in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?
Most who grew up as JW's really don't see color. We were taught to look at ALL who are our Brothers and Sisters as equal in Jehovah's eyes. And to be fair, most (not all) JW's are that way.
JW's really didn't have White Privilege. It's the DO's, CO's Elders, and MS's had the so called Privilege (don't know what you woutd call THAT kind of privilege....Hmmmmm... Privilege to be a A Hole????) But that kind of privilege came in all races, didn't it?
In another month, this buzz word and pandering will be well played out, just like Covid-19, Russia, Impeachment, Russia, Muller Report, Russia, voter suppression, Russia, kids in cages, and on an on and on, only to be replaced by the next outrage....Probably something to do with Russia.
waterhead sharpton is a racist, conman and idiot who can hardly speak.
but pmsnbc and other groups push him off as some kind or intellectual good guy.

I wonder if he presented his bill for services rendered to the Floyd family yet.
i'm a born and raised witness.
i was an elder for almost 20 years.
almost the same in fulltime service.
The other bit of advice I have is, do not trust ANY JW,
What Phizzy said above is absolutely true. Above all, remember those words of advise that Phizzy wrote in his post. Do not trust ANY of them with ANYTHING. They will turn you in and think that it's an act of love. They will tell you disfellowshipping and shunning is an act of LOVE.
I'm going through the same thing as you. All I can say is if you want to keep associating with them for a while, just do the minimum required or what you feel comfortable with at the time.

would explain daniel and ezekiel and their visions.
All those scrolls means a lot of rolling papers. “ yeah, I’ll be back here rolling up some scrolls“. 😁
has anyone turned it down or know of someone who did turn down being an elder or ms?.
yes, it should be one of the biggest privileges a brother can get !!
(how do i put the barfy icon in?

It's what most active brothers in the organization are striving for. But, I'm sure not all brothers want the added work and responsibility that comes with the appointment. Long hours, meetings at the end of the meeting, and things like that.
Anyone or know of anyone who just say "No Way"?
archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.
there are still many people who think and act like him.
of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.
Race relations will not improve as long as there are people who make a bundle of money off of racism.
For example, the Media needs racism to get ratings, views, clicks, or to sell papers. They will do whatever it takes to further the divide.
The so called poilitial leaders or so called "Reverends" that travel the country get paid every time they appear. And, they get paid well. They tell the people to "Call me for help". But if they are called, they want to get paid before they help. And often, they don't help, they just further the divide. They inflame emotions by telling people that racism lurks around every corner. So, if they are making a bundle of money, then why should they stop? they WANT racism because it is a great source of income for them.
Sad part is that many people do believe that racism is everywhere. They are listening to these so called leaders that don't have the peoples best interests at heart when we as a people should be just talking to each other.
with the upcoming elections, the campaigns and political rhetoric are ramping up.
(ramping up is an understatement lol) .
i remember a few years ago, gb member brother herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice.
Back in the day voting in any election from municipal preferences up to national level was considered a violation of neutrality and disfellowshippable offense
TiKi. That’s exactly what I thought. Vote and be DF. I had no idea that at one time it could be a matter of conscience. I doubt it’s still that way now. I wonder if it still is?

I remember a few years ago, GB member Brother Herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice. He said that the biggest reason or excuse they gave was ibecause they wanted to be part of history.
I personally know of one former sister that mentioned to me that (even though she is now disassociated) she has voted in every presidential election since Kennedy, even though she was a witness for about 20 years during that time
Is it possible that more witnesses secretly vote In elections? Could it be a lot more vote than they think? I know most Witnesses will never admit that they do for obvious reasons. But as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I’ve noticed more and more political comments creep in here and there among some of them
Anyone else have a similar observation past or present?
