"Who's the smartest?" is like asking, "Who's the best looking?" Everything is relative and subjective. That's why this thread and others like it are so popular. Of course, some think such threads are horrible. This makes me chuckle. For those that hate these types of posts,I suggest, you don't look at them, because you might get too emotional and bust a gut or something......Some people just need to not take themselves so seriously, and be less angry. They'll feel better.

Another way to look at some of these threads is to consider that as dubs we were never encouraged to be different. Whatever we did had to be in unity - even our thoughts - individuality was froned upon big time. Very few were told how appreciated they were in their contributions to others.
While some of the threads may be fluff to some I think they do serve a purpose in allowing us to learn the skills of complimenting others AND of learning to accept them. It took me years to learn how to gracefully accept a compliment. Heck it took me years to hear one!!!
The down side of this is that some are forgotten who have made wonderful contibutions to others here on this site. Look through the archives - they are full of a pretty wonderful group of people.

Perhaps, the "smartest" posters are the unhappiest. Lady Lee, I enjoyed your typically, thoughtful post.

AHEM.
I think I proved MY point on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=39328&site=3 entitled "are you a genius?"

I agree with Jason (I often do) that this whole tendency to list, categorize and CLASSify people is truly undesirable (IMO, on the grounds both of sheer idiocy - also hurtfulness) and is a visible remnant of dubdummery.
I already conveyed my opinion of the issue on an early page of the thread, when my "MonitEring 'quipment" showed my handle was turning up on the board.
Here is my opinion yet again for those who missed it first time around:
At the same time, I warned off bozos and vagrants from persisting to add my name to the list. This did not prevent further reoccurrence. And the thread marches on. Well, fine, choose your Class, then:

And how the blazes can y'all poor asses on JWD classify much smarter folk anyhows? It is obvious to all that the brains of the board have moved to another place.
We are all - each one of us - important in all sorts of special, individual ways. Even the annoying ones, the idiotic ones, the insensitive ones, the cruel ones, the wicked ones - yes, even the obviously downright retarded ones. If you forget that, or diminish their essential humanity, you are taking Step One along the path which let despicable cowards and mass-murderers like the NAZIS (who also were important, as individuals) strengthen/reinforce their beliefs and manage to come into power. And that path, if enough take it, leads to Armageddon (the real one, not the WTS fantasy).
Yes, I know I am making a generous extrapolation: there are many intermediate steps. But it is this step (the classification (e.g. "Jews are .." or "the smart ones are .." or "the Birdseed Class is ..") that is where the mischief starts. It sets the tone for the environment in which intolerance festers - and then may flourish. My participation in this thread, harmless as the thread is, is to plant a seed of doubt as to where this sort of mistaken course leads.
It is up to us to choose what sort of world we want ourselves, and our children, to live in.

Sorry to say but to me these threads of polling people asking for classifications or ratings reeks of residue leftover from Dubdom. Why go on neatly labeling someone "most intelligent" or "most compassionate"? Is this about titles you can brag about over a discussion board? Or worse yet, is this some kind of psychological regression back to high-school? You people might as well start a JW.com Annual Yearbook with "Best-Dressed" and "Most Likely To Succeed" classifications too.
So go on patting one another on the backs in your need for categorizing people or rating them if it makes you feel better. -- Jason
You are right, Jason. You were right in other thread, too. Threads like these drive me up the wall.

eerm Focus I think you forgot the "Reserved anointed" class. Thats when someone partakes of the emblems and then a few years later decides they are of the earthly class again. Obviousley one of the annointed fell away and came back to reclaim their seat so the replaced one goes into reserve. based on a torturous interpretation of Romans 11 "grafting back in to the vine"
Cant remember the documentation.
