Does Anyone Know the Reading Level of Society Lit?
by Band on the Run inthe thread on pros of being a jw (not filled with many) led me to wonder if anyone has scientifically assessed the reading level of the average wt, awake, books.
i thought 5th grade but it is a guess.
software exists now to evaluate reading comprehension levels necessary to read documents.

by Terry inthe 2nd president of the watchtower bible and tract society, j.f.rutherford was criticised by some elders in the (then) independant congregations for urging members to go door to door while neglecting to do so himself.

frequently some elder says: the president of the society does not go from house to house selling books.

There was this guy kinda old very seldom even went to the meetings but when he did they treated him as something his name always on the board too. Never seen him in FS. Went with a guy to deliver him some mags, he lived in a vacant motel full of antiques.
He donated a very large some of money to the JW's when he died... go figure
I have known JW's all my life, had a very rough child hood and the JW's never tried to reach me until it looked as though I was doing well for myself...

One time I was trying to tell someone that was giving me a bible study when I was young and hung around long hairs hippies bikers or what ever that the reason why they grew their hair long was trying to tell people something and he stopped me right there "Ya rebellion is what it is" he said...
I don't see it as rebellion, most people or all people that have long hair do not know or beleive it is scripturely wrong and according to God if a person does not know that they are doing wrong then they are not held responsible according to God's eyes. So how are they rebelling? I don't get it.
I think people grow their hair long to tell people that it is not the outward appearance that you can judge a person, it is like saying hay look at me on the inside... I look bad on the outside but I am one hell of a nice guy on the inside.

Learning to stop judging people is a very important step in your recovery.

No don't think I would do mormon's, have relation that was mormon, they would not say much about their experience but got the impression they were controling because my reletives moved and changed their last name.
I was walking down Guadalupe in Austin, TX. one time and a church of scientology lured me in and sold me a book and the very next time I come by there they wanted me to run there printing press and I asked how much it paid and they said nothing and I never come back again. Sell me a book then want me to print books for free...
When I go to this church next Sunday, if I see any sign of control I will be gone...
