well johndoe see if you can follow this. you said that my family and i are fit to be stereotyped. seeing as to how the stereotype we were discussing involved lack of education, that would be where i drew my conclusion from. also, where did that christy girl say anything about physical laborers being dumb? or anything about black people? but you all implied that. so it's okay for you to infer something but not for me?

Why are so many JWs hicks?
by kristyann inokay, i know this might sound like an obvious question... but in all reality, why are so many jehovah's witnesses hicks?
why does it seem that there are so many in rural areas?
i hope this doesn't offend anyone... i don't really mean it to be an insult to any of you, cause obviously i consider most of you a lot smarter than some regular jw (or some stereotypical hick).

john doe is no better than the people he criticizes for calling me a hick. but wait, i'm a poor black hick that needs to be defended, right? because "most are sensitive to stereotypes in this area." do i look uneducated because i don't capitalize my words? why is that of concern to you anyhow? i agree that maybe you dont have enough going on in your life if youre worried about my grammar and punctuation. but i guess the fact that i haven't capitilized on an informal forum makes me a dumb black hick!

actually come to think of it thats pretty dumb. anytime anyone says some kind of an insult to someone they compare it with making fun of black people. well if you're not racist yourself, what makes a person even think to compare it to black people? that makes nooooo sense. she said something about people in rural areas having menial labor jobs, working with their hands, which is true - btw, i am a proud coal miner's daughter so i can attest to this fact! - and she never said it meant they were dumb or anything. perhaps not very well educated but she didn't say dumb. and then you go and compare that to calling black people colored folk and having slaves picking cotton for you. what would even make you think that if you weren't racist yourself? i hope i didnt stumble onto a place where the exjws are as racist as the active current jws. i hope i can feel more welcome here than in a kingdom hall. its like you try to make it sound like you're defending black people - but what would make you even compare her comments to someone making comments about black people in the first place? get a grip

How stupidly Zealous were you when you started off as a JW's?
by JH ini knew a brother who would walk 3 miles at -20 degrees to get to the field service meeting.
he wasn't baptized yet, and was new in the organization.

what exactlys the big deal? i lived in west virginia for almost 16 years in a real 'hick' area - well i guess thats pretty much the entire state haha- and a lot of the stereotypes about the people there, inc. my own family, are true. its no big deal, it's actually sorta funny. lots of red man chewing tobacco, lots of spitting, trucks with gun racks, and a lot of menial labor. christyanns comments just stated that that involves the typical behavior of people in those areas. who really cares? why would you compare those comments to comments about black people? as far as i can tell she didn't say anything about black people. it does seem a little fishy that she said some people in rural areas are not very well educated, and you started comparing that to saying things about black people. what in the world are you even talking about? how did saying something about hicks have anything to do with blacks? it's funny thatd you even come up with that one. sounds like some people might be a little racist.
