"Ever hear of any Whites referred to as meek and teachable in WT literature? "

Snowbird, i'm with you on that

Do you consider that to be a racist statement, in the WT context?

I consider it patronizing.

I consider it to be condescending and it smacks of the "White Man's burden" attitude of that time.

Bingo. Although that attitude still exists somewhat, I think.

Exactly, Josie.

What the WT is really saying:

"We know we're the elite - chosen ones. Yet, we take seriously our responsibility to see that the Negro receive some of the scraps from our banquet table."

Walk a mile in a man's moccasins and all that.

Watchtower claims to have been chosen by Jesus. Watchtower claims that its christians are the real deal.

The bible says God is not partial. Watchtower has proven that it and its god is.

I'm getting a sense from this thread that some really do believe in the cultish concept of a "great crowd" and the selected "anointed".
