I have know some very high I.Q. people in my life up to this point, however with only one or two exceptions they have been some of the most stupid people when it comes to everyday, practical life smarts. Just sayin'.

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.

Refusing to become an elder
by ragingmad ini know someone who's family is very spiritual and says that her brother only pioneers and does not want to become an elder for various reasons, probably not wanting to deal with people's problems, and also the tremendous workload they put on them.
is this considered refusing advancement by god, or just choosing your own way?
he has not been "tapped" to become one, but he merely hasn't strived to become one..

I also had pretty much the same conversation as Stuck. I was told that if I, "were to reach out and be appointed it would free up time for the eldurrs to visit with the flock". I told them, "NO. If I were to be appointed I would be just as busy running around trying to look important just like you, and then I wouldn't have the time to spend visiting with the Ama-Arets of the congregation either! NO THANKS!"

The Privilege of Handling the Microphones
by minimus inone of the most unbelievable privileges that a brother could have was being a microphone handler.
elders would discuss brothers for hours and see whether or not we would allow them to mow the lawn or handle a mike.
i always felt that these brothers were doing us a favor but if they didn't get a minimum of 10 hours in per month, they were dog crap and couldn't have any privileges.

There was a mid week meeting when no one showed up to run the sound. Guess who they came to?
I had the opportunity to work with sound systems for a number of decades. Think civic arena's and world famous entertainers. I was asked to run the sound at the local KH in almost the exact same situation. I refused. I may have to fill a seat for the sake of still in family for awhile, but "soon" that will change.

"If ye have ovaries ye shall not stand up in teaching nor mic carrying...yet ye are blessed to scrub the hall toilets if ye approved"
Oh shityeah! Even if you have it hanging and a set of balls these days though you cannot be "approved" for scrubbing the toilets. Unless you have the required hours in door knocking, and take regular classes that teach you how to whirl the scrub brush, and wear the approved safety gear. At least that is the way in the KH where I am. Thank god I refused to participate in their BS anymore.

The problem is, and will continue to be, a certain loud minority won’t allow themselves to be confused by such facts.
They will come up with ‘alternative’ facts, or go into mental lock-down when confronted by the actual facts. Probably no different than what the still-in, or “PIMI” JWs do when confronted with actual facts about their Org.
And we of course know that NO leftist ever acts like that...rigGHhht?

I think it's ridiculous to kick people out of a country because they enter illegally. Criminals should be welcomed with open arms! Perhaps even give them a bunch free stuff as a reward!

Say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

A underdeveloped fetus, unborn, is not a child,
So what is the expectant mother going to have? A child or a tomato?
