after a person leaves the religion, they can say "why was i so dumb".
dumb implies a lack of intelligence.
however, there are many witnesses that are very intelligent.
Larc, you have hit on something so puzzling to me. My wife's father is JW. Very intelligent and eloquent. (And very argumentative!) If I didn't know better, I would be a JW tommorow based upon his reasonings. He is so convincing! I can't imagine in a 1,000,000 years that he would ever leave the JW Org! But some of you have left...is it lack of intelligence...or some other deep-rooted, sub-conscious reason

things went pretty well today.
my daughter was doing some laundry, underwear and such, for her mom, and she was a bit late to get me and her to the hospital.
hours start at eleven and we go there about noon.
Great to hear Zazu is improving, Larc. I'm sure she'll be home soon.

it's 9.30 am in sunny wsm, and here i am sat in front of me computer instead of zooming up and down a ladder fitting soffits and guttering.. i'm injured!.
yup, fell of me ladder yesterday, and received a sprained ankle for my troubles.
(actually, it was the bottom rung that i slipped off, so it wasn't that bad.
Looking at you're profile pic, you look pretty fit to me! Hey, E-man are you mascarading as a human!...in pigs's clothing!?
last night, my wife zazu, had a stroke.
she is in the hospital, and will be there for a least a week.
she can still think clearly and converse.
Hi Larc and Zazu,
I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and I would say that, from the information you have given, Zazu has a very good prognosis! However, the next 48 hours or so are crucial. If she continues to improve - fantastic! Larc, let me know if you would like any advice,etc via e-mail.

Amber is assoiceted with magical powers and/or pagan connections?
Is that a question or a statement?
Should a JW even stop at traffic lights!!!!?
Only on red.
just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.
so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?
mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.
Jehovah took mine from his back yard on the star Alcyone where He used to live ( he was on vacation ). Trouble is, he only used a 2000mm telephoto lens, so you can't quite see me, but I'm just north of Africa and I have a on my face.
