Provenance and verification note for JWfacts, Watchtower Quotes Regarding Black Skin
Confidence note. A discovery source. Used to locate publications; never cited as authority for any wording, date or page. Of the citations checked against the originals, the page numbers given for 1900 (15 April), 1904, 1914, 1919, 1920, 1929, 1960, 1973 and 1977 were all correct. For 1902 the site gives "pp. 215-216" for a single quotation that splices two separate answers: the first half stands on the Reprints page whose running head reads "(215-216)", but the second half, on Noah’s curse, stands on the next Reprints page, headed "(216-217)". For the 1901 article the range given, pp. 264-266, is a close but not exact description of the African passage, which stands on pages 265-267 of an article running from 263 to 267. The site’s 1920 "brain work" quotation is printed without the by-line or the subject of the article it comes from; its 1914 text drops the printed sub-heading and alters three phrases; and its 1904 text omits the opening words "We answer, No."
