  do you think there is any correlation between intelligence and membership?

  most jws i've known aren't that bright, and it seems that most that leave are really intelligent.. just an observation.

  any thoughts?.

  Did you take down notes at the meetings?

  by JH in

  were you the type to always jot down every little detail the brothers said from the podium?.

  i found it amusing when especially sisters were always writting notes in their pads when the brother was giving a talk in the front.. i wonder if it was because they found the topic interesting, or because they wanted to look as if they were learning something.. i was all ears, but never took down notes.

  that's odd, coming from a person who is "visual".

  for SYN:

  Off topic, I just noticed you are in Togo. I'm moving there this summer for two years. I wanted to send you a PM but was unable to. Am interested in talking if you are available.

  And yes, I took notes, so I'd look spiritual and could make out with cute brothers. Ewww....

  I'm thinking about joining the Naval Reserves. I'm still not sure though. I really want to do it, but it will probably ruin the (working) relationship I have with my rents and little sisters. I've wanted to be in the military since I was a little (JW) kid.

  9. Women are treated like dirt. (where's that in the bible?)

  8. Constant talk of death as a child has warped me forever.

  7. I was treated like a leper in school because I didn't salute the flag or celebrate holidays.

  6. The WTBTS class system.

  5. Stupid rules, like no masturbation or oral sex. Since when is that in the Bible?

  4. I never got to love God, only fear him.

  3. I have no really special childhood memories, like bdays, or anything like that.

  2. Leaving the org was like being cast into a mysterious world. Nothing to fall back on because my whole life had revolved around the org.

  1. Having to live my life as a hypocrite.

  what's a kingdom song you can remember singing that gives you the creeps now?

  mine is "move ahead" i think that was the title, anyway it has so much rhetoric... but the tune is so darn catchy.... darn.... in my opinion, those songs are the perfect example of mind control.

  move ahead.. move ahead ... blah blah blah blah blah .

  Actually, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols blew up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The WTC bombing of 1993 was an international terrorism act, masterminded by the Blind Sheikh, whose name I can't remember right now...Ramzi Youssef?
