I would have to say yes (and this is coming from a black person, myself, lol) But there are white people that get emotionally about god also. In the south, both blacks and whites seem to be more religious.

Are black people more emotional than white people
by barry ini see in churches in the states standing up in church dancing, clapping their hands and being quite emotional even in a church.
things which that wouldnt be acceptable in australia.. the link below also shows black sda ministers dressed in clergy style dress which is quite unusual for ministers here in australia.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yynbdm0unsw&feature=g-all&context=g2e791f1faaaaaaaamaas .
could any of my american friends inform me i showed it to my father who is a lay preacher and he was mistified as to what tradition this dress comes from but seems to be concentrated to th eblack community also?.

So sorry to hear about this. I know I dont agree with JW/Watchtower theology and doctrines but it makes me sad when I hear of anyone passing away under tragic circumstances.

Somebody created him, he aint the creator that I am damn sure of. I call it the biggest scam in human history. I think somebody had a dream and started writing shit down. Or, since people waaaay back throughout history, didnt have a direct explanation for things, that had to create a direct explanation for death, disease, etc. Just a theory.

It makes no sense whatsoever that a" CREATOR" would only communicate with a minority of the population then put the onus on them to convey this life saving message to the WHOLE wide world
by smiddy ini now find it idiotic that i could ever beleive the bible to be the inspired word of god.....,throughout the bible "god"has only dealt with a few of his favoured spokespersons to deliver his messages to a minority populace.individuals at first,..... then, patriarchs,nomads,a small nation,ignoring all other nations that had sprung up.......,abandoning his chosen nation,sending his "son"to a small nation, only giving them his pearls of wisdom,much of what was not even recorded for prosperity and remember he never wrote a word,it was left up to other imperfect humans to record what he was supposed to have said,just a smidgen......,again ignoring the bulk of humankind keeping them in ignorance of his plan for universal salvation,leaving it all up to imperfect humans to spread this message of salvation, whom he has already condemned for their sinfullness and disobedience.i just find it so unbeleivable.
in the 6000 years of recorded history only a fraction of the earths population,maybe less than a third have ever heard of the god of the bible, or his so called plan to redeem humankind ,thats millions and millions of people.
( india,arabic,afghanistan,pakistan etc.etc.).

Faith is dumb. Just that plain and simple. Faith is not thinking. Its not logical. It also can be dangerous.

@ wha happened that is so damn true!
My parents brought a beautiful house in 2000, and they are still living there. This JW's couple that my parents had always hung out with stopped hanging out with them (as much), because they had 'moved up.' My parents are still the same people. They just wanted something better for themselves. Active JW's are jealous of other active J-dubs when they get something that is better or find a career that is better.
@ C6H12O6 I couldnt agree more; I would rather be a failure in the world then be a failure in the org.
As always, thanks for everyone's comments!
