BU2B - Yea, I bet it was really hard. I had a black gf who was a lighter tone and had a lot of the same issues. She also did good in school and got a good career. But her whole life, she was said she was too white, or skin too light color, so she was outcast by blacks, then when she dated white guys she shouldn't be doing that. I know there are also white racists out there. So being bi racial must be really hard, having racists on both sides against you. Hopefully you've been able to find decent normal people to fit in with and make friends with who don't care about skin color.

Pistoff, who is the repressed and underrepresented minority? There are no repressed and underrepresented minorities since the 1960's in this country. This news story and the tons of comments show the true cause. If the majority of a minority refuse to get educated and good jobs and bully those who do, how is that being repressed? If they refuse to get educated and a good job or have no interest in jobs that give them representation for their community how is that anybody's fault?
Now, if I was going to post on things happening to white, the only thing that is happening to whites is constant crime from racism and some how they are never punished for hate crimes. For example last night, if you google, "kroger mob" a group of 20 black teens randomly ran through and beat up white people unconscious and laughed about it. The lady filming was laughing and saying, "oo hold on, they got a white dude!" http://www.wbtv.com/story/26470713/im-that-white-guy-customer-thinks-he-sees-flash-mob-attacked-by-teenagers the group of blacks who raped, tortured, and murdered a white couple in ohio not charged in hate crime, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom or that detroit man who pulled over to help the black boy he hit when he jumped infront of his truck and was beat by a mob blacks, only a minor was charged with a hate crime (because he would get out earlier). or how about the marine about a week or 2 who was beaten by a mob of black guys after he was told he shouldn't go into a waffle house because all the black people were mad about the Ferguson incident. If any of these above things were reversed, there would be more riots, looting, destruction going on.
This crap seems to be getting worse and worse and needs to stop. Look at the comments of those stories. Arms are being bought at record numbers and you see many whites saying how they are feeling they need to be armed to be safe and if they got attacked by a mob, they would unload on them. No idea where you live, but as somebody who lives in a very diverse area, it's concerning where things are heading.
To Pistoff - I'll add this too. I know it's politically incorrect to bring up anything about race in the USA unless it related to white on black crime or black oppression. The opposite is generally regarded as racist and anybody who brings up the opposite may have their motives questioned or viewed racist. I've had a black girlfriend before and she went through exactly what happened in the story and original post of this thread. There are many black people I like a lot and have some very close black friends (probably one of the only good things that came from being a JW). Anyway I posted this and the other because in the 1960's, the RIGHT thing was done and things should have been getting better, what else needs to be done to give blacks opportunity, or how are they still being repressed? I see things getting worse and my future, the future of this country, etc, heading in a bad direction because there is obviously a very big problem brewing and silence on the issue is not helping at all. As with the mobs and black on white crime, obviously many are angry at whites. The mob at Kroger, or the man in Detroit, none were alive in the 1960's. You have Al Sharpton screaming oppression on blacks but I never see any examples. Anyway I have no problem bringing up these things because I feel the stigma needs to be broken about discussion of it and since leaving the JW's, I am trying to get involved, voting etc. I am against oppression and discrimination. If there is any against blacks, I would stand with them for changes. I don't see it though, I only see hate being passed down for the actions of whites pre 1960s (but also many whites including during that time fought with blacks to get them rights as well). Anyway as soon as the stigma is removed, then these things can be discussed nationwide by everybody and addressed or everybody keeps silent and allows a race war to keep brewing.

Aww man, for a minute I thought the above picture were mennonites, then the 2 guys w/ the briefcase were LDS(mormon), then the lady on the right a JW.
I could see a CULT BATTLE, like the news teams in Anchorman. Infact it would be hilarious if somebody ever did a clip like that.
The 7 GB members VS Amish elders VS Mormom leaders VS the jamacian cult wannabe's who frequent this board VS those who claim to be Jesus (like the black cross dresser on this board). LOL

JW GB MEMBER CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS ingb member and so called "annointed" person geoffry jackson is caught red handed on video doing some worldly dancing and sexual gyrating (they have spoken against such manner of dancing on several occasions) with a woman who is not his wife!!!
i can only imagine what they do off camera now!!!.
i would not have even considerd doing such a thing on the dance floor with a woman, especially if it was not my wife, and i'm not even one of the so called "annointed" smh!!!

To all those who are saying it's ridiculous to call out GB on his dancing and make a big issue of it.
Are you blind?! Or did you miss every WT article and stupid talk that demonize every sort of enjoyment in life?
What do you guys think of this July 14 WT quote about 'a spiritual brother', " has completely avoided dancing even at Witness gatherings". You think it's ridiculous to make a big deal out of the GB dancing at witness gatherings after they are talking down about it.
Now if it was any other religion, then it would be ridiculous to make a big deal out of it BECAUSE other religions don't care about dancing. (except muslims in Iran, the happy dance people arrested). It's like the police chief who arrested them for dancing, if he was suddenly caught dancing himself.

some comments from the messages on that story....." Same thing happened to me throughout my entire youth, by both classmates and family alike. Just because I was intelligent, well mannered, actually cared about school (or at least doing good in it) and talked proper (no Ebonics or slang) I was considered and verbally called "white boy" by other black students and a significant number of family members (young and old, yes elder uncles and aunties would call me that behind my back). I've been beaten up before by classmates because of this and of course when teachers found out they'd intervene, but considering these were inner city public schools, you can imagine how much that did for me. I've had to force myself to use more slang just to keep them off of me (again, little help)."
" This is ridiculous. Back in college, I worked at a subway during the summers. There was a black guy there who would constantly call me "Oreo" because I was white on the inside and black on the outside. One day I asked him why he called me that. He said that because I live in the suburbs, go to a university, and speak proper English that I acted white. Now that's when I really become offended; that he would associate all these negative things with being black and then to be PROUD of it and try to shame me because I wasn't BLACK enough? One day he came in and said "hey Oreo!" after I told him not to call me that. My shift was over so as I left I told him, "you're insulting yourself and you don't even know it." After that is when the threats started."
" Oh this is nothing new. As a black student in college, I can honestly tell you that I have been shunned so many times by other black people in high school. The don't like me because I'm a foreign black and I don't talk the same way. They didm;t like me because I am dark skin complexioned, I didn't talk like a thug, I was top 5 in my class and because I refused to act like an immature moron throughout my high school career. Ironically, the most racism I have ever faced has been from other blacks. There have been a few ignorant racists whites, but most of the racism I face comes from others blacks. Frankly I don't care, the jokes on them. I am studying to become a physician and I will succeed in the future and laugh at the clowns that I have left behind in life."

Why is it, if a black person wants to speak proper english, live in a suburb, do good in school, go to college or university, they are bullied for 'being too white', but then those exact same people who bully them then go around and pull the race card blaming society for not having any opportunities in life?
How is speaking proper english, and getting schooling and a good job associated with a race?

Lying about Shunning! jw.org conceals the "truth"
by Skinnedsheep inhttp://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/ .
"those who were baptized as jehovahs witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.
in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.".

Yes, and at what point in semantics does twisting the meaning become a lie?
A man cheats on his wife, has sex with another women.
She asks him, "Did you cheat on me?" He says no. He did NOT lie. He didn't behave dishonestly with her to gain some advantage, he merely had sex with another women. If she asks him, "Did you sleep with another women", he says no, he did NOT lie, he didn't sleep at all, he had sex.
Now in that above example, if you agree he is not lying, then maybe we can agree that the WT is not lying on it's FAQ of, "Do you shun FORMER members of your religion". However, to me lying is knowing what somebody is asking and giving an answer that you know they are understanding to be completely different from how you are presenting it. So just as in my example of a man KNOWING if his wife asks about cheating or sleeping he KNOWS what she means and in a literalist sense he might not be lying the same applies to the WT then, in this case, a person asking the WT about former members meaning those who have disassociated or left the religion and allowing them to believe that an 'inactive' person is the same as apostate/disassociated, and that family is all family not only those living under the same roof.

Pete Zahut - In your answer you said if you "drift away","walk or fade away". The FAQ though is "Do you shun FORMER MEMBERS". Drifting away or walking/fading away is NOT a former member. Only dissassociating or getting DFed is a former member.
The question is not "Do you shun inactive members", it's FORMER MEMBERS. Do you still feel it's honest now?

Observations from a day at the zoo
by Simon inso we went to calgary zoo today and i'm torn between zoo's being great for conservation vs using animals to make money.
i think on the whole they are a good thing but it's sad to see some of the animals caged up - somehow i always end up staring into the eyes of a gorilla and it makes me sad.. but that isn't what struck me ... it's these things:.

I don't think healthy good animals should be taken from the wild. Injured would be okay, if they couldn't live on their own. Or if they are facing extinction, no natural habitat left/safe, but in this case they should be breed and protected areas for them to repopulate. I too feel said for animals that naturally live in big wide open spaces confirned to small quarters. I don't think I've ever seen happy tigers/lions at a zoo.
On the other hand, when they are free....
