I joined foreign language and traveled for a bit. Interestingly I recently ran into someone I knew while in foreign language who is now a member of this site. we both happen to be college educated. There werevseveral people who were college educated and beyond in foreign langue age. M.D.s and masters. I even met a J.D. in NYC. She was still in her twenties.

Lol @ emeth. Your halls are filled with alcoholics, wife abusers, closet porn fans, and pedos. Good luck cleaning out that horse stall!

That would be more like if the JWs broke up into several denomonations or sects, something the GB doesnt want. There are different denominations in Judaism (or movements as they're called). Ultra Orthodox, modern orthodox, reconstructionists, conservatives, and reform. The orthodox share the same JW mentality of being seperate from the world, not associating very much with those outside the religion, and wanting to follow the Bible very closely, while reconstructionists are those that don't believe in the supernatural, but like to follow and preserve a Jewish lifestyle.
It is still possible for someone to go to church or be part of a religious group without believing in it. They may just want to join because of social reasons and connections. That would make them "institutionally religious."

The jokehovians are only part Jewish--and that part is the Pharisaic part. Which is the part that judges everyone for every little thing they do or refuse to. The other part is Pauline xianity. This is where they insist that everyone be slaves, going from door to door and taking all sorts of abuse. Of course, they are to forgive each other unconditionally for this abuse, even if it is willful, and they are to expose themselves to further abuse. This is xian--and communist.
In fact, communism is secular Christi-SCAM-ity.
