  M:ystiwhatever can't speak english, but can criticise those who can.:

  You tootin.

  :Intelligent people are generally inquisitive, studious, thoughtful and sceptical - qualitities sadly lacking in most JW's.:

  You just describe me. And I jw. So you wrong.

  :That's what really annoys me about them - they sit there listening to all that crap and never ever question it - I never heard one answer in any Watchtower study, book study or any other study where someone put their hand up and said they didn't agree with what was said.:

  we have heard it. but they did it humbly--not superciliously.

  :As far as I can see JWs are generally stoopid, this cannot be denied -but the exact same people, i.e. ex-JWs, after the cloud has gone away, seem to be far more intelligent than most, or rather, more appreciative of education, and this forum bears this out very clearly.:

  what do it mean to be stoopid? you tell me, friend. i think you wrong. hilda one of smartest people i know and she a jw. we think ex-jw not too bright. they may appreciate worldly education. they deny the divine kind at the same time. the divine education is best!

  I did say "Most" JW's

  You're obviously one of the exceptions.

  That is the least intelligent thing I have heard so far... Many people on this board are Spriritual, not controlled by an Organizatiion that tells them what to believe. Yes, many of us have gone on to get a secondary education, and appreciate it. That doesn't make us less appreciative of a higher power, or a divine education. I would venture to say that most people on this board consider education, the main reason they are here.

  Kool like dat, yes, I bow to her genius. What would we do without her? Anyway, instead of replying to this thread she has started a thread all on her own with her reply to E'man, so maybe you'd like to join that one while the rest of us get on with this thread!

  We not controlled by org either. we like hans kung. He is kool. we also say that society do not put down education now and we do not. But we say that people like Engrish think worldly iq more important then spiritual iq. he wrong.

  When people try to elevate themselves, they usually attempt it at the expense of others.

  It's all a facade.

  Meeting participation is a complicated thing, and different JWs answer in different ways for different reasons. The way Watchtower studies are discussed are a combination of blind moronic obedience, sycophancy toward the Watchtower Overseer, the big fear of being reprimanded by elders or parents and the determination of a congregation pecking order - well, you might as well have a congregation full of parrots.

  Now that's funny. Englishman and TR discussing the lack of intelligence on the part of others. You two have got to be two of the most dim bulbs in the lamp. LOL / You Know

  YK, please be assured that I am extremely confident, nay, supremely confident in my ability to rattle you severely.

  I think you misunderstood English, he did not say secular IQ is more important than spiritual IQ. He questioned two things 1) If JW ability to reason (or use their brain) atrophies because their thinking is done for them or 2) If people with low IQ's are drawn to JW's. I think English brings up a couple of good points.
