    I know for a fact I only used 10% as a Jw.LOL

    Where did this come from. When you think about it

    how can you use only a percentage of a functioning

    brain. I know I am not the only one here that thought

    God only limited us too 10% of our brain power anymore

    we may become like God.

    False - we use 100% of our brain.

    If we didnt use 100% of our brain, it would start to die......Neurons need to be active at all times.

    I feel so stupid, just today in doing some research I

    found out we use 100% of our brain. I was going to

    blame God for our limited brain power.LOL

    Now, as to brain potential and its plasticity, that is another question. Can we improve brain power, even if our current IQ is low? I think that is demonstrably so.

    Different parts of our brain deal with different tasks. Neuro imaging is providing fascinating new insights.

    Nah, you're not stupid Jam. Think of it as a learning opportunity.

    Knowsnothing: I am still recovering from slowness of

    mind as a JW. Maybe one day I can use a 100% of my brain.
