United Brotherhood?? You MUST be joking!
by Lin ini was born and raised a dub, and i've never been able to understand how jw's can claim to be a worldwide united "brotherhood" when there is so much racism within the org.
when i was 14, my father noticed that i liked a black teenage brother in our hall.
there wasn't anything to it, we weren't dating secrectly or otherwise, i simply liked him and thought he was a cutie.

I was born and raised a Dub, and I've never been able to understand how jw's can claim to be a worldwide united "brotherhood" when there is so much racism within the org. When I was 14, my father noticed that I liked a black teenage brother in our hall. There wasn't anything to it, we weren't dating secrectly or otherwise, I simply liked him and thought he was a cutie. My father made a point of talking to me about it telling me I shouldn't develop interest in black brothers because of how society in general views "mixed" relationships, as well as mentioning the differences in cultures. Well, I got into a lot of trouble for my response to my father that day because our views are very different. I've always believed that people are people, regardless of what color they happened to be born with. I feel there are different "cultures" even within the same race/creed/ethnicity, etc. Are all whites of the same "culture", not in my opinion. People are people, some good and some bad within ALL races. Bigotry and racism is a hot topic for me, and I become irate when I hear racial stereotypical remarks, and the "N" word makes my blood boil!
I find it strange that it was perfectly fine and acceptable for my Bethel brother to marry a Puerto Rican sister, why isn't that considered "Mixed"? I just happened to marry a Mexican brother (who I later divorced), why wasn't that considered "Mixed" and unacceptable? Why is it not acceptable within the org and my parents to show interest, date and maybe even marry someone who'se skin happens to be black or brown, but it's perfectly fine to do so with someone who'se skin is say...olive complexion? What difference does it really make? Isn't mexican and puerto rican culture different than white culture? So, what's the big deal?
With the parents I have and the org I was raised in, I have no idea how I managed to grow up feeling the way the I do, but I'm glad I haven't developed the racist views they have. It's like....it's fine and dandy to meet, greet, make friends etc with black people, but "don't even think about marrying my son or daughter"? What's up with that???!!! Two years ago, my Dub niece married a black brother, and the only thing I heard about the whole thing was from my mother saying she didn't understand why Alicia "couldn't find herself a nice white brother"? I happened to be dating a black man at that time, and I told my mother "Careful mom, my boyfriend is black and there is nothing odd, strange or weird about Alicia or me being with someone of a different color". She then asked me "What do you see in a black man"? I said "I don't look at someone and think, Oh they're this color or that color so I shouldn't like them or want to talk to them or date them etc. I see a person who I would like to get to know, color of skin is not even a consideration." She doesn't get it, and neither does my father.
I realize that racism has gone on for a very long time, but it makes me mad that Dubs claim to be totally accepting of everyone regardless of color etc, but just don't marry one of mine. I've raised my kids to know that people are people, no race is better than any other race, every race has it's good and bad people. I told my kids if they met, dated and married someone with "polka-dot" skin, and this person was good to them, loving and respecting them, then that's all I cared about. Period.
What is it with racism in this world? I just don't get it, thank God.

I've found alot of sites/groups out there too, but some are for people living in specific states, some are for those "further along in their healing", some are just for woman, etc. I have really like Silentlambs, but the guestbook has been riddled with alot of jerks posting garbage and it's angered alot of newbies who've visited the site. Because of those reasons, I created a msn group for anyone and everyone, men and woman included, newly out, thinking of leaving the org, those wanting to discuss various doctrines, amongst many other things. We have quite a few from Silentlambs guestbook who have joined, and some from this site are members too. For anyone interested, here's the link:
