When I started attending the meetings, I was in college. I would use any excuse I could to get out of the Watchtower study. I couldn't believe they wanted me to read the article at home and underline the answers and then I had to sit and listen to them read it aloud again and give the same exact answers they underlined in the magazine. I felt like I was in kindergarden again.

What grade level do you think the Witnesses are operating at? It seems to me it has been declining over the years.
Did you notice the dumbing down effect of the organisation?
