  Terry wrote: I can only remember being tested I.Q.-wise once. The outcome was revealed that my I.Q. was 99!

  Average is 100 and genius is 135! So, I'm not even quite average! (the year was 1967)

  Was that when you were 2 years old? ;) I wish I had a better memory thats for damn sure. What is the secret, or are you just born with it.

  Well put Czar! We wouldn't want to think Terry any smarter than he really is. I do wonder when reading some of posts here if people actually wrote all of it themselves. I think it is only proper to give credit where credit is due.

  and may you all have peace!.

  in another thread, regarding a witness father's countenance and "jw" responses when condolences were offered on behalf of his gravely ill daughter, someone wrote:"people tend to get even more spiritually minded in that situation.

  i have to say that i find that comment quite curious... in light of an event i attended this past saturday.

  Welcome back Aguest/Shelby! I do understand where you are coming from...truly I do. I hate the smugness with which some JWs operate. It shows there air of arrogance and pompous attitude.

  richard is the exjw who's story was portrayed in the "good faith" off broadway play.

  if you are like me the word conference conjures feeling associated the word convention.

  :When I was a dub, I always felt guilty because I couldn't understand all that "spiritually deep." I didn't stop to consider the fact that God is not supposed to be a God of confusion and was only a God for those priviledged few who could understand those "deeper" things.

  Same here. I usually gave up and said to myself well at least somebody got it figured out, all the while saying to myself it cant be this convoluted and actually be true.

  We used say the Watchtower is a bible based magazine to use with your copy of the bible and its companion the Awake which is more of a newsy magazine. I rarely featured an article in either of them.

  i love this place.

  where else can you find fun, friends, research and the "pulse" of jws and exes?

  when we come on board here, we realize that we all share different things that expose us to why we're out or in the process of getting out.
