Wow. I didn't know there were black Jehovah's Witnesses.

Seriously? In my hometown the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses are black. Lambhead was raised Jehovah's Witness.

Oh yes - I had a black married couple that were JWs visit my old apartment a couple of times. Very nice people, but as soon as they found out I was Jewish, they stopped showing up.

You know Michael Jackson's family were all Jehovah's Witnesses? Very strict, too.

"insert Michael Jackson joke here"

"Michael Jackson is a punch line to any joke you want. If you forget the punch line of a joke, all you gotta say is Michael Jackson. Two Jews walked into a bar... Michael Jackson. Why'd the chicken cross the road? Michael Jackson. And so the farmer brought his daughter to the dinner table; Michael Jackson. It works for fuckin' anything!"

I have an ex Jehovah's Witness on my f-list, actually. [livejournal.com profile] newlifeinstpaul, whom I found through another LJ friend. His ex-wife and 2 (lovely) daughters are still what he calls "J Dubs" but he needed to get out and rebuild his life. The stories he has told about the rules of the community... totally crazy. Somewhat terrifying.

He's got a slightly weird sense of humour but a great heart and is one of the few people I know who works hard and honestly at fixing his life and his own problems. I think everyone works to fix their problems, but he really works hard at it.

we used to get them (like termites, hee hee) at my parents' house in DC. I never saw them, but Dad said they always came one white, one black. (he's actually the one who coined the 'termites' reference -- apparently they stopped coming when the Mormons came to town, so Dad decided they were respectively termites and carpenter ants -- both annoying as fuck, but they don't coexist.)

Every single Jehovah's Witness I have ever met has been black.

There are even black Mormons. And if you know much about Mormon beliefs, you know how weird that is.
