    I worked at the watchtower back in the 80's. The governing body members and old timers back then had their own racists views and treated blacks as second class/third class citizens. If a black brother were to ever complain about racism/unfairness, working there they would be blackballed, no more privileges. They would hit a glass ceiling. If you were to inquire as to why there were no blacks on the governing body, the answer would be, that's the way it is! I was appalled hearing their comments concerning minorities. I was told "you don't hear anything negative coming from the GB! "Worldly people" have better respect than they had.

    The GB IS AN ORGANIZATION
    inside of another organization. "a secret one" of you will. We are not privy to THAT rabbit hole. I'm Black, and when I was in for 33 years, I always wondered why large cities were filled with Black JW's, with familial generations upon generations. We are easily trapped due to our following, faithful, religious, and helpful nature. The Master GB "society" has always known that and used it to grow.

      Let me be frank and forthright that such hate videos and hate websites feed off the ignorance, hatred and biases of a person like yourself to survive and thrive. Almost invariably all of you that includes the you-tubers and hate websites (which is most likely where you got your information) don't care for truth and neither do any personal research or if did leave out the parts that destroy their narrative as they would have no video or website for you to watch.. Again no insult intended so please do't take it that way but as an opportunity to do personal research before you believe and like a virus spread more lies which they rely on you doing there by becoming part of the problem of ignorance. With that said... I am amazed at how many times I hear JW's just blindly believe the GB and yet many appear to be no different with these video and websites. I research like many other JW's
      Disclaimer: I will accept this from Darkie, a widely recognised racial slur used against African Americans in the 1930s (www.citma.org.uk, Brand strategy: Revolution = Evolution, 2020 - However I have yet to find out whether early, mid or late)
      en.wikipedia/ List_of_ethnic_slurs darky / darkey / darkie Worldwide Black people According to lexicographer Richard A. Spears, the word "darkie" used to be considered mild and polite, before it took on a derogatory and provocative meaning.
      dictionary'com website/browse/darky - dark·ies.Older Use: *Now Offensive*. a term used to refer to a Black person.
      USAGE NOTE FOR DARKY - The earliest uses of darky in English were sentimental, probably affectionate in intent, although it is likely that even then, those who were addressed or referred to by the term found it patronizing. For example, the lyrics of Stephen Foster's song My Old Kentucky Home (1853) refer with nostalgia to happy “darkies.” But by the early part of the 20th century, the term had become increasingly offensive and unacceptable. Current versions of the Foster lyrics refer instead to “people.”
      Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage (4 ed.) - darky. It goes without saying that this word, once used to refer insultingly to black people, especially those from the Southern US, is nowadays completely out of bounds. Though my country grandmother could use it fifty years ago in all innocence, not intending any slur or offence, social attitudes have, fortunately, evolved since then. The word still has restricted currency as a term of racial abuse in literature dealing with or describing that topic *Couldn't see more unless purchased which I am not doing*
      Home to Harlem, first novel by Claude McKay(Black man) published in 1928 - Jake Brown, the protagonist of Home to Harlem, deserts the U.S. Army during World War I and lives in London until a race riot inspires him to return to Harlem. *Don't know Jake's colour which not of any relevance as what he says matters and if white would hurt your case even more*
      Etymonline website - darky (n.) also darkey, darkie, colloquial for "a black person, a Negro" (now offensive), 1775, from dark (adj.) +
      -y (3). Related: Darkies.
      Jake thought how strange it was to hear the Englishman say "darky" without being offended. Back home he would have been spoiling for a fight. There he would rather hear "nigger" than "darky," for he knew that when a Yankee said "nigger" he meant hatred for Negroes, whereas when he said "darky" he meant friendly contempt.

      I am spending no more time on this as the information is sufficient to dispel your baseless assertion of the article's excerpt in using 'Darky" is necessarily a derogatory or racist. As above states even from a black writer's view of his times 'Darky' did not have any negative connotations. Dictionary webstie supports this saying *Now Offensive* meaning for some duration it was not racist to use.

      “"There are about 350 species of woodpeckers. One of these the Negroes call by the opprobrious (racist) name of "shirt-tail bird". That is all just because, innocently, he has white upper tail covers and a white rump. Why blame a bird for something he can't help? One of those industrious woodpeckers can do something no darky could do, no matter how good his intentions. He will eat three thousand ants at one sitting, and enjoy them!"
      If you’d like, compare what “jahambassador” posted to the article written and published for all to see by the organization chosen by Jesus in 1919 (allegedly).

    The ONLY reason why Scammy Sammy waa appointed a GB MEMBER is because in 1999. The membership of the African American race was about a third. During the years leading up to his appointment, MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS were murmuring about why there wasn't a "Black GB MEMBER" & were TOLD NOT TO MURMUR ABOUT IT. Next thing you know, Sammy Sammy was appointed as a GB MEMBER. In addition, many of the white JWS were feeling inferior after Sammy's appointment. Also, during many of Watchtower's conventions during segregation, Watchtower was ALSO separating the blacks from the whites at their OWN CONVENTIONS!!!! If the GB DIDN'T GO ALONG WITH THE SO CALLED WORLD, Watchtower wouldn't have allowed this to happen. Excellent video!!!!

    As a child I saw in them books Whyt people as angels, JESUS, all the disciples. All from Africa 😒. Now that I know what I know it was genetically impossible.
    So in my young impressionable mind I saw them as Gods. When I closed my brown eye, I saw a Whyt man🫠
    Then when I looked at society, it kind of looked like they had some sort of favor. With their wealth, where they live, the opportunities they have, they are used as the standard. We get all of our resources from them.
    I was so confused. I married a Whyt man. 🥲
    😊I had to RELEARN, ♒️ what I was taught. It was in my subconscious. I was creating their reality and not my own.
    They are the most racist duplicitous religion to me. I’m happy I got my kids out while they were still young.
    I decoded this religion. One thing is that the flood wasn’t “Water” it was the frequency/radiation going up!
    And they hide that we are multidimensional immortal souls.

    I’ve always loved the comment by JW’s when I bring up the old articles that showcase the racism. They’ll say, “that’s old literature and you shouldn’t pay attention to what was written back then.”
    To which I say, “we should examine the May 2021 WT study article 18, par 8 that says “In a similar way, people today need to examine the facts. They must compare what they are taught by God's people with what the Scriptures say. They also need to study the record of Jehovah's people in modern times. If they do a proper
    "background check," they will not allow prejudice or hearsay to blind them.”
    So, how am I gonna do a “proper background check” on the organization as they said I should do if I don’t go way back to the olden days? Also, if the things written in the old days are stuff I shouldn’t pay attention to then what about the claim of being chosen by God which was written…in the olden days? 🤨

    As far as Columbus discovering America is concerned, how do you "discover" a country in which other peoples already live? Also, the Garden of Eden was located in southeast Africa around the 😢Olduvie Gorge in Tanzania. Were white people the first race to emerge from the BLACK soil of southeast Africa??? The bible locates Eden somewhere along the nile river. It names them as the Tigris, the Euphrates and the blue and white nile. All the years i spent in the organization i NEVER heard any of this, but always saw watchtower's depictions of this white couple in the garden in africa flanked anout by all the animals native of the African continent. Also in these depictions Jesus was white, the angels were white, all of the apostles and prophets were white and only white men were used to write the bible. Thus the organization was formulated to appeal, first and foremost, to whites to keep them in their comfort zone. It's funny how an organization calling itself the "TRUTH" could LIE in these false depictions and not speak the actual truth of human origins.

I am mixed (with white, black, and latino in my background) but identify with my father's side as a Black American. I was raised in white parochial schools, so a lot of my own culture's history was not divulged to me. I am not surprised by that, but I am surprised that JWs would promote such teachings and agree with you that God would not choose that mentality to lead his people, as He would be able to see the risks involved with that way of thinking. I can't explain it or respect it in any way. You gave me a lot to think about, and I am grateful. How do you reconcile all the stuff that you discover and continue to have faith?

    Y'all we definitely need a part two!! As a black man in the org, like you were saying, if your afro was above a certain length, they'd ask you to cut it down. Meanwhile white brothers can have it down their neck lik you said. People would have thr nerve to say straight hair has a "cleaner" look on the back of thr neck. Don't get me started on beards. For women, I remember that until around the 2000s, it was seen as "unexemplary" for an elders wife to have natural black, afro textured hair. Some sisters are still afriad to rock natural hair. What changed? Well, notice Tomy Morris's life story on Watchtower from years ago. His second marriage was to a Polynesian woman from one of the pacific islands, i believe Fiji. They also have natural large afros. Her hair was an afro so it became acceptable, VERY on the low, for black sisters to wear natural afro hair. You can look it up in his biography from past Watchtowers to see her hair. These are all things that learned from just talking from person to person since JWs have so many hidden rules. Some sisters even believe that afro textured hair is a sign of more imperfections thsn others and that in the "new world", thier hair will change to be straighter. One sister pointed to a video of a sister, before paradise she had her regular straightened short hair and in paradise, she had a long straight/wavy wig. These subliminal messages actually do hurt people's self esteem and give them wrong impressions. It also teaches white approval because until the white brothers started saying something was good (natural hair) then it's bad. Very messed up mentality to instill in people. I find black brothers and sisters want to show so badly that they are "the good ones", that they'll follow anything and everything.

      This is very accurate. I had someone in the JWs tell me with a completely straight face that one of the wonderful blessings of Paradise is that Black women’s hair would straighten out and we’d finally be beautiful. I didn’t say anything because I couldn’t find anything nice to say. I just walked away and avoided this person from that point on. When I stopped relaxing my hair folks acted so simple and pressed about it. I left it natural anyway, but every so often I’d hear some comment about “How do the Black sisters in the magazines wear their hair?,” but none of them could tell me what chapter and verse of the Bible said I had to douse my head in lye for Jehovah to love me or how Black women got God to love them before relaxers were invented.

    I came across your channel about 4 days ago. I've seen other breakdowns of Ex JW videos but I have to say this is the best one aside from Ex JW critical thinker. Your analogies are 🔥. You also may have made history by making this here video. I been around and studied with JW's on and off since i was 8 years old where I first received that book "My Book Of Bible Stories" that you inserted into the video lol. Never did become a Witness but i have been to the Kingdom Hall on several occasions. Turns out JW organization and the mormons have a similar storyline of how their religion got started. Either way both based off of White Supremacy. Somewhere down the line you should do a video about singing in the Kingdom Hall out of the Jehovah sings book i believe it was. Was always cringing. Great video, and you do have a new subscriber here.

    They are not making field service less important they are moving away from keeping track of it, the numbers of hours and placements which is a positive thing it should have never been done in the first place. Now it’s just a box you check off in an app. BUT still pioneers need to do it. I guess price those hours to get paid their stipends

    • @AwakenTruths

      “They’re not making field service less important, just not keeping track of it”…….. because it’s less important.

      Are you going to present your time card to "Jehovah" before the throne? Earning your eternal life? Isaiah 53:11 My Servant will make righteous the many. Is that calling on the name of "Jehovah", joining an org and earning your way with works? The Servant is Yeshua and His blood. His blood is what cleanses us. Blood is the only requirement for remission of sins then you follow Him through the Holy Spirit , having eternal life 1 John 5:10-13. This is a promise found in the letters, the letters are the promises of God in the 2nd covenant. It's always about the blood, that has never changed.

    There’s several articles defending The KKK, including allowing them to use The Golden Age to publish a message. There’s an address from Russell to The Black Friends about why they had to sit up top during his presentation of The Creation Cinematography vs. among the White Witnesses.
    What’s crazier is not just Jesus allegedly picking and approving this religion out of all the wild things said prior to 1919, but a lot of racist articles came AFTER Jesus “hand picked” them in 1919. lol.

The internet was new and the resources just weren't as readily available. The transition would have been easier and less isolating. I only knew that what I observed didn't sit right with me and I saw double standards everywhere I looked and I didn't want to be a part of a group like that.

They became regular pioneers.They left to go to Mississippi to serve where the need is great. They attended a congregation where the majority were white. But one day, they met a brother in the market. He told them that in the congregation they were to greet as brothers, but not in public. Shortly after that, they came back to Los Angeles. They came to see us to tell us they were no longer Jehovah's Witnesses. Now, they said, we are muslims.
