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.

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 Frankfort, 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. Realizing that his story would be doubted, he interested Dr. F. A. Howard, chief division surgeon of the Chicago and Alton Ry., who corroborates the statement in the following published extract from a letter:

"I am obliged to you for an opportunity of seeing and examining the negro child, Julius Jackson.

"I found his heart action, respiration and temperature perfectly normal and his mental faculties seem acute for one of his age.

"The white skin now covering at least 90 per cent. of his body is, so far as I am able to judge, in full possession of all its organs and those organs seem to be performing their natural functions--no roughness, chalky, or ashen appearance is present.

"It seems to me that the conditions warrant your opinion--the change is certainly caused by chemical conditions of the blood. Very truly,

by ThomasCovenant in

1983 yearbook p11.. the puerto rico branch tells about an interested person who was studying with a special pioneer but whose husband showed no desire to do so.

one day his five-year-old daughter said, "daddy, i want to grow up so i can be baptized.

" later she said, "daddy, please study the bible with jehovah's witnesses so that you will not be destroyed and then you can be with us in paradise.

"CAN THE ETHIOPIAN CHANGE HIS SKIN?"

Can the Ethiopian change his skin?? ?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? ... a negro boy of nine years, began to grow white in September, 1901, and is now fully nine-tenths white."

Whose "mouthpiece" was Pastor Russell: Jehovah's or the Adventists??

by Terry in

either charles taze russell obtained his ideas from jehovah or he didn't.. if russell didn't get them from jehovah---from where?.

let's take a survey of the facts about william miller and subsequent adventist teachings.. then, we can ask this question again!.

when william miller (baptist farmer turned theologian) predicted the 2nd coming of christ in 1843/44 a large segment of america's population believed along with him.. miller was invited to preach in church after church.

I have the "Proclaimers" book..I read it , studied it and looked up many of the references and quotes. I found it amazing. Why? because of the history of the witnesses. It is a joke. And it is right under their noses..and yet they don't see it.

I too loved doing research on Russell/Rutherford and the history of the JW's..today knowing what I know, I would be embarrased to be a JW..really!
And Blondie, when you find it let me know. It sounds really familiar.

Blondie wrote:

I'm trying to find the quote but Russell said that between the early Christian Church and his time, that God had put various churches in charge of one bible teaching each. It was his job to gather them altogether back in one place, the true church

Where's the story about Jehovah's Witnesses killing people?

by Snoozy in

jw
friends

that's the facebook message i just got from one of my friends on facebook that is studying ..she was raised a jw but the family left for years.

her mom (widowed) is now back in and is trying to get her 35 year old daughter now staying with her to come in by telling her how she wil lbe destroyed if she doesn't..same old love.. snoozy.

Snoozy

This is her last reply..after I sent her several links to stories about JW's killing family members..

Mom was preaching to me about worldly men. I told her witnesses can go off the deep end too. That everyone is human and capable of harming others.

Glad I didn't go with the thought of her trying to be a smart a**..

She thanked me after I sent her the links..I felt good!

have you ever seen a stop sign?.

what if it were a "decelerate until stationary!

"sign, instead?.

I thought this was about how they are now going to produce a "Simple english" version of their magazines. I guess that is a attempt to lure in the not so educated in english people..
