the witness was/is a "racist".
i was told by her that i could not go to the local kingdom hall, or have a copy of the watchtower or awake because i was black.
"Service Desk at Bethel will send the letter to the local elders who will probably try and visit you and use the usual placibos (as already mentioned) "leave it in Jehovahs hands" "..imperfct men" "you were mistaken" etc etc"
haha, no kidding. As for causing division, that's another cheap cop out. Nice try though.

It's not "racist", it's racist, no doubt about it. It seems the elders are not doing squat about it, and is also evident members are condoning it in some way to let it get that far, if in fact what you say is true. As much as I do not like the organization , I have never seen outright racism.
If it bothers you that much , sue them. I would.
i can take one exampel.. we all now about the polyci to convickt sexabuser ot pedofiles,you must have two wittneses to what happend if not we must putt it i n jehovas hand,.
but if you sleep over together before you are married, you dont need any wittneses att al to be dfd or reeprofed, even if it is a third person ther it is an dfd thing says the elder book.enen if it is an third person ther.. why it is so important widh two wittneses to judge sexabuser, but when it comes to peopel as doing nothing only sleep over in the same department it need no wittneses att al to bad things happend to dfd them.. so you can be harder judged if you only sleep in a bed than if you rape chilrden, or sex abuse them in any way,this is not so unusal, i have among my family peopel as have been judged fore this minor thing, sleeping over widhuot doing anything, the punishment was totaly reeprof.. i have also exampel from elder as have use girls under 15 fore porniea, and the punishment was only steep down as an elder.. some very hard things to deal widh fore mee and some alse as now this.. i can also ask one more qestion, wt have told us to tell evrythnig bad we do at once, but if we hide it fore a long time, how will it effeckt the puishment?.
softer or harder , intresting to see what your answer on this is, i new it and will tell later.. ..
I was a non-practicing witness for many years. I was invited to study to get back in the swing of things, and when I was almost done studying, the "requirements" set in. I was sent into the back room and berated by a bunch of elders saying I needed to wear a suit. I told them I had clean clothes, and never wore a suit before, nor did I ever intend to wear one. They are itchy, uncomfortable and is not me. I was minding my own business, and did not bother anybody. They said it did not matter and was required to wear one. I told them when I am judged, I am not going to be wearing any stinking suit.
In the end, your suit is not going to make a single difference if you are judged. The JW's have a don't-ask-don't-tell policy, and my family being witnesses led very crude lives. My father was a pedophile and my mother was a controllling overbearing woman that did not care about anybody but herself. But they dressed well!!
Lastly, there are pamphlets being strewn around about a paradise earth. Look closely at the pictures. See the manufactured clothes? See the manufactured plates, houses and other things? Why would you need factories that spewing pollution in your paradise?
How many times have they said the world was going to end? Five, six times? I remember in 1975 people were SURE the world was going to end... and Mr. Russel thought the world was going to end in the mid-1800's. What a crock.
I can go on and on...
I am very bitter and angry with this organization, and I will never step foot in another Kingdom Hall again.
