jgnet,
That's interesting. I have often wondered if there is a negative correlation between intelligence and social abilities...in other words: more intelligent -- less social.

Ever get the feeling your just not "normal"?
by logansrun ineven when i was a dub i felt this way.
i mean, i would just stand there at gatherings and feel that i was in my own world -- that, somehow, everyone else was "in" and i was "out.
" i never felt this way at formal gatherings -- meetings, assemblies, etc -- only in most social settings.

Min,
All my life -- till fifteen months ago. I'm 26 and was a servant and pioneer for six years. I think I know enough about the organization to comment.

blondie,
Yes, yes....I know "normal" is not the most scientifically accurate term to use. This is my emotional, lean on me thread, not my logic chopping "I'm going to whip your brain's ass" thread" teehee

First of all, a GB member, especially a younger one, should, according to the Society's standards, show that his whole life has been a testimony to his being anointed.
Where does it ever state that one must have been "anointed" their whole life? Ray Franz didn't start partaking till after he was a CO.
No unfaithfulness of any sort should be able to be observed.
Really? Where does it state that? Are you just assuming?
The GB are supposed to be "holy men", without blemish, taking the lead without ever, ever leaving the truth because of wrongdoing.
Show me where it says that. Or is that in the "Minimus Book of "How I Think the GB Is Run"? I always had understood any "privelege" to be a reflection of that person's spirituality over the course of recent history -- like over the last ten years or so. You don't feel there is some sort of statute of limitations?
The standards are supposed to be the highest for qualification of the Governing Body .
Yes, but are you actually going to say that if someone is DFd over 30 years ago that that is a damning mark for all time? Oh my Christ, not even the JWs say that. Bradley....who's wondering if this is another one of those "The JWs can't ever do anything right, no, not ever" threads

I'm in college now and usually am the person in class that is the most vocal -- asks the most questions, takes the lead in group projects, stays behind to ask more questions. But, put me in a "non-formal" setting and I just lose it. Sure, I'm comfortable with my close friends (which stand at about two people right now ), but everyone else -- they're in a different universe.
I'm probably not being very specific and I hate to be so whiney. Been a bad day. Hell, been a bad life! hehe...j/k (sort of).

Why would it be so significant if he was DFd so long ago? Unless it was for child molestation or some heinous crime I can't see any reason this would hurt his "credentials."
I'm a non-Christian, but didn't Jesus use Peter even though he made such serious mistakes? If anything, if he was DFd and is now a GB member that would show that the JWs don't hold people back if they have "sinned."

PS -- I don't mean to play JW apologist, btw....but I simply am pointing out what logically comes to my mind

Well! Back on line...whew
Yes, I, J. Bradley, at the age of 26 has finally "officially" asked a member of the opposite sex out "for coffee.....and cunnilingus" (j/k about the coffee part )
Seriously, what do you say? I've got some good suggestions here...I don't think this will be a real problem.
Now, how do I end the evening? A hug? A *gasp* kissy kissy? Cheek? Tongue? I know, no tongue. Any other suggest-o-rama's?
Just be myself? How about my best self? Yeah, that's it.
