    So I asked my wife to take the "Spiritual Belief System" quiz online. Now, this is not claiming to be a scientifically accurate system to determine your religious affiliation, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise.

    For those who haven't seen it, the questionnaire is here:

    After you answer the questions, it returns what "spiritual belief system" you are most closely aligned with with according to a percentage scale. For instance, #1 for me was Secular Humanist at 100%, #2 Non-theist (87%) and #3 Unitarian Universalist (84%). Dead last at #27 was Jehovahs Witness at 0%.

    So I ask my wife to take the test, and all I ask is that she answers what she actually believes, and not what she's supposed to say.

    I'm expecting JWs to be in the top 5. Certainly not the #1 spot, but up there.

    Here are her results:

    #1 Orthodox Quaker- Religious society of friends (100%)

    #2 Reform Judaism (96%)

    #3 Unitarian Universalism (88%)

    Now when I saw these top results, I wasn't particularly surprised. I was kind of happy we have a bit of overlap in the UU category.. . . . . But where were JWs?

    I started scrolling. . . . .down. . .. .. down. . . down. . . .

    #26 Jehovahs Witness (35%)

    This is good!

    I dunno, there are a lot of similarities between quakers and dubbies.... Both are very hard line. I may have to take to it to get a feel for what it its asking

    When I took this I came up as a Secular Humantist at the top, JW at the bottom.

    Very accurate!

    Yeah, it's accurate all right. I put in the answers that would have represented me a few years back (when I was a believer) and it yielded 100% JW.

    Of course, had I put my current non-beliefs it would surely yield 100% secular/atheist...

    So let me get this strait, one takes the test and answers based on what they believe and not what the religion teaches and the JW's are last. Is this what your saying this test is about????
