"CAN THE ETHIOPIAN CHANGE HIS SKIN?", Feb. 15, 1904 Watch Tower
We answer, No. But all will admit that what the Ethiopian cannot do for himself God could readily do for him. The difference between the races of men and the differences between their languages have long been arguments against the solidarity of the human family. The doctrine of restitution has also raised the question. How could all men be brought to perfection and which color of skin was the original? The answer is now provided. God can change the Ethiopian's skin in his own due time.
Prof.
H. A. Edwards, Supt. of Schools in Slater, Mo., has written for the
public press an elaborate description of how Julius Jackson, of New
Frankfurt, Mo., a negro boy of nine years, began to grow white in
September, 1901, and is now fully nine-tenths white. He assures us that
this is no whitish skin disease; but that the new white skin is as
healthy as that of any white boy, and that the changed boy has never
been sick and never has taken medicines. (p.52-53)

Jehovah's Witness Missionary and a Talking snake - 1967 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses:
"..a large crowd were following a man with a talking serpent. The
serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues. A brother went to
the house and as soon as he entered the serpent went silent. The man
yelled "a magician has entered the room!" The brother replied: "Is that a
serpent or demon that is talking to you? Since God created man not one
serpent has talked except one in the garden of Eden....his serpent
remained silent and the man left...later he was eager to get some
literature..."
