Wait a minute. Who said anything about it being racist. I in fact said it was unintentional. In was pointing out reasons why IQ tests may not be accurate in assessing intelligence of other cultures. Characterizing what I posted as liberal ( especially with out reading my sources) is not adding anything to the argument. Why must everything discussed here be made political?

Does anyone know of this guy, or agree with his statements on racial differences in IQ?
by Sugar Shane inhere are some quotes by the guy, from his youtube channel.
his name is stefan molyneux, and he’s apparently popular among the alt-right crowd.
he’s also widely quoted on these discussion boards, by certain ex-jws, who use him to help promote their political views.

I am surprised that no one has pointed out how most IQ tests have built in bias . This is unintentional and is hard to negate. The tests often test not intellectual potential ,but what has already been learned. Take a look at what Prof. Martin Shapiro of Emory University, says.
According to other research, items which facilitate ranking and sorting are often items which, perhaps unintentionally, factor non-school learning and social background into the questions. Such items help create consistency in test results, but they often are based on the experiences of white middle-to-upper class children, who also typically have access to a stronger academic education.
For in depth information on this please read the following

Free exchange of ideas
by recovering ini have noticed a paradigm shift on this site .
we used to be able to express opposing viewpoints without being subjected to name calling and censorship.
i wish we could return to how the board used to function.

I just want to understand something I am anything but an Obama supporter . However, I see no restrictions regarding anti Obama statements. Is it now the policy of this site to only except criticism of left wing politicians? I am a moderate Republican and would like to be able to criticize those on both sides of the aisle. Is this no longer allowed?

I wish we could return to how the board used to function. I really enjoyed when the board more closely reflected the tenants espoused in it's mission statement. Friendly and tolerant being the operative words. I of course understand that this is Simon's board and he has the ultimate authority. I just wish it was more reflective of an earlier time ,when civil debate was encouraged.

Since Democrats Are All About the “Children” why does ABORTION Not Bother Them?
by minimus inif everything is supposed to be about the lives of children, how can they hypocritically fight to take babies and kill them?
what about the children and their quality of life?.

First off, I am not a Democrat and I think that The argument being made here is disingenuous. Who cares if democrats support pro-choice . The issue at hand is the human rights of children.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses
by Vanderhoven7 inwhat do you think of this rant?.
“jehovah's witnesses are the only true religion.
this is demonstrated by a slew of true teachings that only jehovah could have revealed to his servants on earth.

It is interesting that the name jehovah is not even the name the bible uses for God's name. In fact Hebrew has no J . So who is the god the witnesses worship?

Where is your proof of the claims you have made ?
For example your second point of being no part of Christendom. It is fact that the WBTS (and a matter of public record) went to court as a friend at court to Jimmy Swaggart along with other religions.
"June 22, 1989 Watchtower Society, files amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief with U.S. Supreme Court in Jimmy Swaggart case. Others filing similar briefs include National Council of Churches and Society for Krishna Consciousness"
As far as your point regarding dates it has been proven that the WTBS has a long history of prophecy with regards false dates regarding the beginning of Armageddon. These prophetic dates include 1914, 1975 and others that have never occurred. Your own bible says so not follow false prophets .

Brooklyn headquarters divested
by recovering inhttps://nypost.com/2018/06/05/kushner-sells-stake-in-former-watchtower-complex/.
trump's son in law divested himself from watchtower property.. "after the election, the newly acquired stakes also became a problem of optics for jared kushner, who had led the purchases before deciding to decamp to dc and work at the white house for his father-in-law, president trump.. .... to offer up facts after years of criticism by the real deal trade paper, jared’s potty-mouthed dad, charles kushner, allowed a sit-down on-the-record interview during which he dropped f-bombs and other expletives, which the paper quoted.".
sounds like something fishy went on lol.
