No Black or woman became Pope or WT President—reveals what?

    Sending a Messenger nearly 2000 years in advance to preach the coming of God’s Kingdom, and leaving the message to be carried out by his followers who would practice just the opposite of his message [eg. Catholics cannot accept a Pope if he is from a Black community or if sex is female, just like JWs could not tolerate a Black/woman WT President, which is in sharp contrast to what Jesus himself practiced—he showed no partiality with regard to sex or community—he elevated a Samaritan woman sharing with her great truth, even before he did it with his own male-disciples—John chapter 4]. Claiming something as His own, and then allowing it to decay do not befit God’s superlative style!

    Logic suggests that message about system change should happen in the last generation, after which New World would start! Interestingly, this is the style adopted in the Eastern Scripture (Bhagavt Gita 4:7) Bhagavat Gita is the summarization of all the other Hindu scriptures. According to Gita, God of the universe take measures only in the last generation of Human Rule—when the irreligiousness and moral decline reach their climax, and when humans themselves destroy each other—and then He recreates Heaven on earth (which people are free to maintain it or to reshape it into Hell again)!

    Simon,

    That's an interesting question, yet carries the same wieght as the title!

    Thank you for that humerous, yet thought-provocking question.

    It was really intended to make fun of the question. You are implying that lack of a leader who is black implies something whereas it's more likely just a reflection of the society that the system is built on.

    Reverse it: pick any mostly-black organization and ask why it doesn't have a white leader?

    The answer is probably the same: minorities or those who don't represent the group are dramatically less likely to be chosen to be figureheads for the group.

    Simon: "Have we had a Chinese or Eskimo pope yet either?"

    In all fairness to the Catholic Church there aren't too many Chinese or Eskimo Catholics.

    Change takes time. I think both Catholics and JW's are at a point where they are ready for a black "leader."  ...but not anywhere near ready for a woman.

    Posing the question as to whether a woman would ever be a pope , you may as well ask whether a gay person is ever going to be a pope .

    It aint gonna happen .The bible puts both in their place ,  and its not at the head of the R.C.Church .

    Isn't it a similar question to whether a white woman would ever be elected president(ess) of the Congress of African American Men (possibly a made-up organization).

    We can invent lots of combinations of groups and likely unselected candidates to lead such groups.

    The most egregious use of the word "logic "in the history of the universe.
