@vivify saidThe church I started attending recently is made up of many different nationalities in a Muslim country.
Do any Christians here attend a church that's *not* all or almost entirely white?
I'm not refering to churches that merely have a white majority, since whites are the majority in this country. I'm asking if any Christians here attend a church with a reasonably mixed demographic.....or, if any white Christians who attend a non-white church?
The church I grew up in was predominantly black with a white minority (in South Africa during the apartheid era I might add.)
@galveston75 saidI agree. It is clear that they did.
What an ignorant question......
More proof that your boast about being Gods organisation is a lie.
God is not a respecter of persons.

Do you know the city I grew up in? No you don't. Do you know the financial situation of the majority of not only the black JW's in the south of this country but of most of the black population here especially back in the 70's and before? No you don't?
As I clearly said their congregation was at the opposite end of town. Very few of them had anything to drive. Because of that many of the white Brothers from my KH would go to their meetings had had been for years, long before the Organization said to find a way, anyway to combine the two congregations.
Having two separate congregations was not acceptable regardless of ones not having transportation. So we all made it work even with many white Brothers going way out of their way happily to pick up all we could to make sure all of the black brothers and sisters were at our KH. And many were given cars as gifts so they had their own to make it to our Hall which was the larger of the two.
Now try to get any "N" word using Baptist church hypocrites in the south even today or as far as that goes any other church in the south to do that.
There are still towns in the southern USA today that have all the so called great Christian churches in them with all their upstanding white members that will never let a black person into their churches and if you are black and driving thru their holy little towns at night, you better pray your car does not break down because you may not leave alive.
You know nothing. We all love each other beyond anything your hard heart could ever perceive. Any color of any JW from anywhere on this planet could live with me in my house in a second....
@vivify saidI think individual churches are a reflection of the community they are located in.

If you live in a location where the people are predominately one race, then the churches in that area will show the same population ratios. As the local demographics change, so will the church demographics.
That being said, and in answer to your question, my church is maybe half white, with a third being hispanic and the rest (approx. one-sixth) being a mix of black and Asian. This reflects the community I live in.
@galveston75 saidThe greatest demonstration of hatred is when an organisation sidelines someone that Jesus Christ will accept in the Kingdom of God. Your beloved Watchtower organisation does that all the time and you support this organisation.

As for this topic you said But the JW's back in the early 70's arranged where ever possible that all congregations were to be segregated. .
Hence my question.
@philokalia saidIn our church we go from light skinned to dark skinned with brown sitting in the middle.
Concerning the language thing...
Our congregation has a separate chapel in which a Ukrainian Priest conducts the Divine Liturgy in Slavonic and gives a homily in Russian. Of course, it is attended mostly by Eastern Europeans...
Meanwhile, in the cathedral, we have our Divine Liturgy perofrmed in Korean -- occasionally, the Bishop or the Priest will say something in G ...[text shortened]... places, and that this very well may have been what churches in Antioch were doing once upon a time.
Naturally, we then categorize the male and female church goers with the women in front and men in back.
However, the rich sit further up than the poor in the pews.
It's all assigned seating and the Progressive way. We must play close attention to skin color, sex, and socio-economic status. Nothing else really matters.
Now if Orange man Trump were to visit, I'm not sure what they would do.
@rajk999 saidOh man I forgot.. you are the only one going to heaven. Send us all a post card! Lol

@galveston75 saidNobody goes to heaven. That is yet another false doctrine promoted by your church
