    People keep telling me I am "so smart", so I believe it.

    Had an IQ test in 9th grade. It was 123. Is that good?

    Some are saying they are pretty smart on here but I know many current JWs who are well above average in intelligence and still hard core JWs even when they have been presented with enough negative info about the WTS to choke a mule. Why are they still hardcore JWs yet!?

    Answer that one Minimus? I personally think intelligence might not have a lot to do with whether a person leaves the WTS or not. What do the rest of you think?

    The word "smart" is overused and abused! Very vague and cannot be accurately measured. "He's smart because......" or "That's a smart thing to do....."

    I'm sure all of us will agree on this fact. Wisdom is deeper than "smarts". Whenever we learn something from another individual that we personally deem as valuable, there is profound respect for that person. Some may even consider the other person smarter then he/she. In my opinion, we shouldn't feel that way.

    We are all teachers. We teach each other!

    Oh yeah! And besides that, the first definition of "smart" according to Webster is this:

    "To cause a sharp stinging pain, to slap". "To feel mental stress of irritation". "A stinging sensation".

    So, to answer the question : "Do you think that you're smart?"

    NO!
