have you ever taken an iq test?
i just did one for school - pretty interesting kind of test.
i scored a 134 .
The one supervised IQ test that I can remember* taking was the entrance test for Mensa, which I sat in 1993. I literally had to have a lie down in a darkened room afterwards
*I probably took one in early elementary school, as I remember being 'seen' by an educational psychologist at the time.
what do you find attractive that is out of the ordinary?
everybody know the ___usual___exciting naughty bits.
but, what i'm asking is what do you find attractive that is out of the ordinary?.
For me - the slightly geeky, gawky look can be very attractive...
Examples (UK only): Moya Brady (Robbie Cryer in 'The Bill'), Tamsin Greig (Black Books, Green Wing), Blyth Duff (DS Jackie Reid in 'Taggart')
Large, aquiline noses
A gap in the front teeth
Cardinal Fang, of the 'Barbie dolls are ten a penny' class
any ideas what wt says on this matter ?
JimTX:
I certainly remember various magazine articles down the years on the Waldenses, Albigenses, Socinians and Anabaptists, with heavy emphasis on doctrines they shared with JWs (eg rejection of the Trinity, no infant baptism, etc.). Also seem to remember them raking up a scripture from somewhere or other that refers to a 'constant feature'.
As for the 'few individuals' line, that would seem to fly in the face of their insistence that one can only acceptably worship God as part of an organization... to which I would say 'what organization was Job a part of?' He wasn't even one of God's 'chosen nation' at the time - the NWT (I believe) refers to him as 'one of the greatest of the Orientals'

the day of deliverance is here, and it is a time for action.
seeing the progress of his glorious kingdom the remnant sing: ?to him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old: lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.?
(vs. 33) {psalm 68:33} jehovah is not now on a stationary throne, but, as the psalmist says, he is pictured in his ?throne car,?
LOL @ Nosferatu
I've got the mental image of a celestial Popemobile
all the more hilarious as the actors were known to me.
seeing some dub london cockney you've known for years miming to an american accented voice had me holding my sides in mirth!
..until, that is, the subject matter begun to surface.
BTW, I have to agree with Englishman - the sight of 'local yokels' miming away to that cheesy Waltonesque dialogue always raised a titter this side of the water - the WT (and the people responsible for the original 'performances') obviously have NO self-awareness whatsoever

My personal fave dates back to the mid/late 80s and hinged on a US/UK language-divide gag, in which a worldly high-school girl (in shocking pink tights, I recall) attempted to seduce a JW classmate, who hightailed it home and related the whole episode to his mother, with words to the effect that "a worldly girl at school got me into an empty classroom (like she had a gun at his head, LOL) and tried to get me to commit fornication with her!!"
At which point the anguished mother cried "OH, RANDY!!" (the boy's name)
Now, for any North Americans who may be in the dark:
randy (UK) = horny (US)
As you can imagine, at that a ripple of snorting and choking rippled around the stadium I was at, along with, I imagine, every other convention venue in the UK. I'd love to have been at a big international (like Twickenham) just to see the puzzled looks of any visiting American dubs as the suppressed hysteria erupted around them.
The GB obviously never did their linguistic/cultural homework for that one
george carey, ex-archbishop of canterbury, ex-number 1 head honcho of the church of england next to her maj. .
>>>>it would be "the natural thing" for the prince of wales and camilla parker bowles to marry, the former archbishop of canterbury has said.. george carey and his wife, eileen, met camilla at their son andrew's house in peckham, south-east london, after her relationship with the prince went public, he told the times.. lord carey said of charles and camilla: "he is the heir to the throne and he loves her.
the natural thing is that they should get married.".
IMO, if he should have to ask forgiveness for anything, it should be for not being honest with himself, for not having the spine to stand up to his family (particularly Philip), and for marrying a woman (a girl, really) that he clearly wasn't in love with (remember his infamous "love...whatever that means" comment?). If he had, Di would've married a minor aristo and would likely be alive and well today.
Just one of a number of reasons why (bearing the tragic case of Margaret in mind) the only royal I have any time for is Edward VIII. To stand up as an individual against the might of the establishment and fight for your own personal happiness takes MAJOR coconuts, if you ask me...
..is notably absent amongst middle-aged dubs.. maybe the joy of sex was forbidden to them?.
take a peek at the nov 1964 wt study: >>the male sex organs and the female sex organs were to cooperate in fulfilling this god-given command.
thus the sex organs are not playthings to have a lot of fun with, for such fun does not serve the divine purpose.
IMO, I'd say the joy of sex was pretty much absent among JWs, period.
'The Life-long Neurosis of Sex' might be nearer the mark
was listening to a bit of radio comedy on the walkman at work this morning and heard these little nuggets that i felt i should share.
spoofs on popular self-help titles:
