Reaching out
by expatbrit ini grew up a jw.
finally stopped attending meetings at age 31.. in all that time, i never "progressed" beyond the ministry school, wt reading and the microphone running stage.. it was not for lack of so-called encouragement.
without wanting to blow my own trumpet, i'm was a good public reader and speaker (mostly because of copying words and sentence structure from the likes of charles dickens in my talks).

FORCED TO BE GOOD??!!?!?
by JW72 ini was just thinking that the 'goodness' jw's display doesn't necessarily have to be 'pure' goodness, if u know what i mean.. i mean they become so obsessed and dependant on the wts telling them what they can, can't, should, shouldn't, will, and wont do that they no longer make 'pure' judgements for themselves.
even if what the wts is 'good, christian advice', as long as they're not deciding to do it themselves, it loses the righteousness that making decisions, good and bad, is all about.. it's like having really domineering parents who tell u exactly what to do, u do it through fear, not through the will to do good, u don't learn, u only learn to obey.. any comments?.
merry sundays.

I.Q., Fuel Pumps and the Non-Studebaker Larc
by TMS injust cant leave this iq thing alone, but rather than defile mystikools thread anymore, i will start anew.
larc, as a professional in this field has been patient with my naivete on the subject and as copied below, has noted a few of the conclusions reached by the behavioral sciences.. i remain an unbeliever.. i remain skeptical of the intelligence quotient test concept of testing intelligence.. as noted below, larc describes some of my examples to illustrate intelligence that would not be discovered by an i.q.
test as merely examples of cognition or sensation, not intellect.
