YOUR TYPE OF INTELLIGENCE..............

howard gardner, a professor of education at harvard university, is renowned for laying out the theory of multiple intelligences (mi), which argues that the customary views of intelligence are too narrow.

whilst traditional iq tests measure verbal and mathematical skills, mi theory maintains that humans have multiple intelligences.. included in these are spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic (movement), interpersonal skills, intrapersonal and naturalist (understanding and classifying objects in nature).

so whilst some may not be to 'hot' on mathematics they may be great musicians or wonderful at understanding human beings.

Children Do Not Get Enough Sleep in Watchtower

this past memorial was an exercise in waste for most people.

drive to the hall, fight for a parking space, get booted out of your seat, and then listen to a stale talk for 45 minutes.

then the big event: passing the plate of crackers and glass of spoiled grape juice.

Arguments about the flood.

i posted a thread yesterday about evolution and population since the flood, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/134218/1.ashx and there were some arguments from the point of view of jw's that would be hard to counter....for me anyway.

but it raised some other questions that i'd like some feedback on.. namely, is it just me who thinks it's just ridiculous that noah could've collected all the animals from across the globe and got them on the ark?.

according to the united nations global biodiversity assesment, there are an estimated 1.75 million species on the planet.

Arguments JW's can't argue with.....I think???
by Adolfius in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
these are just a couple of arguments i think would cause any half sane jw (if any current and actively brainwashed "true believer" could ever be described as sane), to stop and think for themselves.. thinking person: is the bible and the events it describes true and factual?.

jw: yes.....to the letter.. thinking person: could evolution be true?.

jw: no way.. thinking person: ok, so i just want to get this perfectly clear; evolution in no way happened, is happening, or possibly ever will happen?
