by BenV insomeone had a thread about "smart people" in their congregations.
while i readily admit there were some "good," and "kind" jws in the congregation i grew up in.
and maybe it was the location -- my dad was asked to move there -- but for the most part it was an intellectual sahara.. yet i've noticed that on this forum there are some incredibly "smart" people.

We lived with my mother-in-law, who served with the French Congregation, so we had two boostudies in our home, English and French!

I would think everyone here is intelligent, after all, you've all been intelligent enough to leave the WTS.

Yep, he was a member of Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, when the Church fell apart after Armstrong died, there were about 350 splinter groups that were formed, Weiland was one of them. he wrote a latter to all the leasders of the various splinters and told them they were all going to doe at armageddon unless they accepted him as their prophet!

I recall one Sunday while the P.O. was giving a talk, there was a baby crying, and he stopped in the middle of his talk and yelled "shut that baby up!"

One comical moment I remember was attending the CA at the Stanley theater, There was a yound couple seated next to my wife and I, and they couldn't keep their hands off of each other, hand on knees, under skirt, during the break, they're seats were empty for the rest of the convention. I guess they went home and took care of business.
