Whos smarter, Catholics or J.W.s?

as i was growing up my dad would always make a special effort to enlighten his catholic brother-in-law.

hed ask my uncle to get out his catholic bible and show him scriptures.

one of his favourite arguments was the doctrine of the popes infallability.

First, the 1+1+1=1 argument is lame. They think of it more lie a pie, yes, it might be cut into three slices, but it's still one pie. But I digress. If we are talking IQ, I think both group's members are probably on equal footing. I do, however, believe that Catholics on average are probably more knowledge about the world. They don't insulate themselves and they don't discourage higher education.

FreudianSlip

If we don't take ourselves seriously, how can we expect others to? At least that's how I try to justify the taking of myself seriously. It's not something you can always control.

Does anyone here ever feel that they don't fit in

you no longer fit in with the jw's and aren't yet accepted by those outside either?.

FreudianSlip

I fit in with the Witnesses. I felt safe and comfortable. Now, I feel like I don't fit into my own body. I haven't figured myself out. Others seem to accept me, but I confuse myself daily.

I thought I was clear. Then I send my prophet and it's still not clear? What do you need, a miracle to believe?

Did they have this part right?

so what do you think happens to someone when they die.

i learned of the death of someone yesterday that was never a very good person.

i can't help but wonder where he is now... is he dead "aware of nothing" like the jws always said?

FreudianSlip

Desib-

I don't know what happens when we die. I tend to believe that that is the end of our consciousness. I have seen no tangible evidence to believe otherwise. What we know is that the body decays, so I have to run with that.
