  Scored 152.
  
  Actual test that I took 5 years ago for mensa scored 135.
  
  Not sure if they are using the mensa scale or not.

  Which way will the Society go because of the Internet?

  by be wise in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've only learned the truth about this society over the last 5 months or so, so i'm not sure what the difference is to say - 2 years ago.

  do you think the society will now get even more cultish in it's methods of teaching and more heavy handed if they feel things are slipping?

  i don't feel i'm being over the top here because i've experienced very heavy handed talks at the assemblies and kingdom hall in the past that are just plain scare tactics but this just makes people ask more questions ??

  Nice point but as the mean age of the JW population in the more developed countries continutes to increas they will be less capable of "birthing new members" in said countries. ;-)

  my hiusband and i left the organization almost a year ago.

  since then, i've thought many times of a friend who had da'd herself about 4 years ago.

  a few weeks after she'd da'd herself we passed in a bathroom at a local store.

  Do you get yearly visits from the elders?

  by unbeliever in

  2. friends

  my sister just got a visit from the elders.

  this was the first visit in 10 years.

  an inactive friend told me they are supposed to visit every year.

  As a rough estimate of my worth to them might be directly proportionate to the number of yearly visits by the elders.
  
  Having said that I haven't had a visit in just shy of 12 years. Therefore my worth to them must be a big fat ZERO. Somehow that brings a smile to my face.

  first we were all jehovah's witnesses.

  that was the most important thing in our lives, our raison d'etre.

  it was how we identified ourselves.

  How to get rid of snoring?

  any idea?

  my husband wakes me up about twice every night.

  what can we do besides using a pair of ear plugs, which makes me uncomfortable?

  You wait until you both are about to drift off into dreamland.
  Then you say in a hushed voice, "What was that noise outside?"
  While your mate comes to full alert, and listens intently for a repeat of the noise you can drift off into a peaceful slumber.
  
  Note: This process can be repeated if your mate wakes you up with their snoring as it is hard to snore and listen for a mysterious noise coming from outside.

  DONT EVER BE LATE

  a parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival in that parish.

  a leading local politician, who was a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner, but he was delayed in traffic, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.

  "you will understand," he said, "the seal of the confessional, can never be broken.
