Being in the Spanish side, but living in the USA where English is predominant, I can only confirm the fact that JW kids learn to read, write, speak, and comprehend Spanish extremely well; then in school they learn English.
Even if they don't follow the religion later on, being bilingual in this way gives them such a great advantage in today's society!!!
I don?t know for real ... still I agree somehow with things that have been said ? (but skills are not automatically related to intelligence - some people do just have a strong instinct in some field but not in others) to me you can't rate intelligence NO
but myself I was always way behind everybody in school ? always dreaming ? I was the one the teacher was saying : Are you with us ? Or they was slapping me behind the head .. I've also been fired for a week at 12 ? WICKED !!! LOL
BUT after 10 when the teacher was interesting here I was quiet good (same field, but other teacher and ooops I was bad again) So.
In general I think most of the children were more intelligent when it came to READING,and thats about it..I just find this subject a hard pill to swallow.You see when I went to the hell.(I mean hall..lol) I, like every other child was made to keep still and concentrate.I was forever in trouble because I could not do it,nor could I read...I always had bad report cards saying I was disruptive in class,never finished my homework,needs to participate more in phs ed,and basicly just failed at everything I did.The teachers would tell my parents they need to see if they could get me some help,but my parents would always decline.Finally my parents went behind the JWS back and got me the help I needed.The doctors put me on a experimental drug to see if it would help and the jws did not want me on it.So my parents never bothered to tell them..A couple of months later, a brother dropped by the house to commet on how well I had been behaving..Mom and dad thanked them,and so did I. As he walked out the door,his commet was....See what happens when you put your trust in Jehovah.........Thats when mom and dad started to wake-up to there lack of intelligence.I just think it depends on the child,if they want to learn or if they CAN learn......it is hard to comprehand something that is not connecting to the brain.

I dont agree not all JW parents sqashed thier childrens interlects my mother encouraged my interest in science even to the point of buying me me own microscope and chem set. but still i knew some really stupid JW kids higher reading skills dont always translate into higher intelligence.
