Yes, it's wrong, but it makes for great comedy material! Most stereotypes have some element of truth in it, but it unfair to take it seriously and apply it to everyone.

I dangled many a time over the toilet bowl of opprobrium
Wow! Anyone who is drunk and can still use vocabulary like that gets an A+ in my book!
You can reason your way around all day and you'll still be the first one voted off the island. Whereas the one who can inspire the masses is the one sitting with the immunity necklace.
This is so true. That is why politicians run the world and not smart people! My favorite saying since leaving the org is "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." This applies to the world in general, though I always liked to apply to the JW file and rank.
Reality blows big chunks. Be drunken, mortals, be drunken on your dreams.
Unfortunately dreams do not pay the mortgage ... reality does! I do save my dreaming for when I am drunk, though!

Has anyone ever heard of the theory of multiple intelligences? Basically, it says that anyone can learn anything if taught the way that they learn best. You learn best based on your strongest type of intelligence. What type are you?
Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"): Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") Musical intelligence ("music smart") Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") You can take certain types of quizzes to find out where your strength lies. I always came out very strong in the logical area ... second was linguistic. It can also help people find out at what type they would be most successful.
In answer to the original question ... I agree with Gardner's theory ... there are all types of intelligences. By the way ... you read more about it here (for you nerdy types like me!) ... http://www.multi-intell.com/MI_chart.html

Education is one of the few things that I feel I did alright in ... especially considering I was home-schooled (you know how those JWs are with the homeschooling!)
I have a BS in Education and an MS in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently working on my Specialists degree in Instructional Technology! (a specialists degree is inbetween a masters and a doctorate).
Hey Min ... have you ever done a poll on how many have been home schooled? Would be interested to see ... I knew A LOT of witnesses who were. Most didn't finish, though.

A Thanksgiving tale...
by Jim_TX inanother thread about thanksgiving caused me to remember something that happened a long time ago.... when i was a teenager - my mom and the rest of us kids went on an adventure... i believe it was up to dallas... or thereabouts.
anyway, on the way - the ol' '52 desoto that we had... you know... those 3-seaters... (you see them used as taxis in old bing crosby movies)... well, anyway - the car broke down in temple, texas.. so... there we were, all fretting about being stuck (it happened to be on thanksgiving day, too) - and were at this gas station.
(did you know that in the 60's most places closed on thanksgiving day?).

That's so typical, Jim! And "worldly" people are considered soooo evil!
Just wondering ... how much did your mom have to do with them after that? Was it another 10 years before you saw them again?

A Display of WT and Awake at a Garage Sale?? Gag!
by Wild_Thing inmy jw mother had a garage sale this past weekend and asked to borrow my folding tables.
she lives with some other old jw self-righteous, too-nosy-for-her-own-good lady and they were having it together.
i lent her the tables and asked if she could put some of my things in the garage sale that didn't sell last time ... she agreed.

My JW mother had a garage sale this past weekend and asked to borrow my folding tables. She lives with some other old JW self-righteous, too-nosy-for-her-own-good lady and they were having it together. I lent her the tables and asked if she could put some of my things in the Garage Sale that didn't sell last time ... she agreed.
I go over there Saturday morning, and her room mate had a display of Watchtowers and Awakes right in the midst of the items they were selling! (On one of MY tables too! ) It made me wonder if she was counting her time! At any rate, I have never seen anything tackier! I wonder how many people left when they saw them!
Later, my mom (reminder ... she is a devout JW) told me that she had no idea her room mate was going to set them out and told me she thought it was tacky because they weren't out in service. (Sometimes her out-of-the-blue common sense scares me!) Then she said, "I wonder if she noticed that she set them on a table right next to your Christmas items I set out to sell." LOL! I have never laughed harder! She said she probably didn't because she never notices anything, but I have a hard time believing that!
