Redi-Answers on Jehovah's Witness Doctrine
Prejudice

The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:

The Society prides itself that the Jehovah's Witnesses have no racial or ethnic prejudice.

While the claim to no prejudice is made, background articles published by the Watchtower Society itself are full of prejudice. Listed are just a few examples:

Watchtower Reprints, Page 5434 of April 1, 1914 -- Blacks and whites separated.

Watchtower Reprints, Pages 3043, 1902 -- "While race exhibits some qualities of superiority over any other."

Watchtower Reprints, Page 2706 of October 1, 1900 -- Tells of William H. Draper who prayed his blackness away and became white.

Watchtower Reprints, Page 3320 of February 15, 1904 -- God can change the Ethiopians skin in his own due time, so he can be brought to perfection.

As long as the Society claims to be God's spokesperson for this day, then anyone has the right to examine any statement made by the Society to discern if indeed the Society has acted as a true prophet of God. Clearly this inconsistency -- a boasting of no prejudice yet clear examples in their own publications -- disqualifies them from claiming the prophetic office. It should be noted that none of these statements have been retracted.
