  Not a surprise ,most elders in most Kingdom Halls are below average IQ . Reasons : They are chosen on not how bright or how well versed are in the Bible but for how loyal they are to mother organisation 70% of the time they come from the same family i.e. if your dad is an elder you will find it twice as easy to become one compared to one who has no such affiliations Critical thinking left the building after '75 ,so you will find JW's are become more stupid every year GB is against higher education so things will get worse

  EXACTLY my thoughts - I have met some extremely loyal but just cant think. They were never allowed on a JC

  What's The Worst Thing About Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, i think it's that the witnesses teach they are god's spokesman.

  they represent his "faithful & discreet slave"....and that they alone are expounders of the only truth and that if you disagree with anything they teach, you are considered worse than vomit.. it's unbelievable because these people are wrong so many times, it cannot be excused!.

  as a witness, you must accept every viewpoint and if you (and your family) do not accept it all, hook, line and sinker, you are "apostates"!!!.

  I Want Proof Jesus Even Existed

  by Farkel in

  2. bible

  don't bother me with the josephus addendum.

  i've already seen that debunked.. i am quite aware of the fact that the only evidence of jesus comes from his own followers who didn't even bother to write down his life for decades after jesus "died.

  " don't know about you, but if i saw all that shit, i would have gone home and written three books about it that same day!.

  I think ANECDOTAL evidence is the best you will get. Hard evidence - forget about it.

  i have always been been a huge stevie nicks fan even when i was a kid when she came out with rhiannon.

  i dont go to many concerts but if there is a way to see her when she tours next year i will be in the audience!

  it's hard for me to pick a favorite song by her but if i had to choose it would be storms.

  Absolutely love Rhiannon but of course it is about an "Old Welsh witch" so as I am a good JW (god you can almost smell the b++ls++t through the electrons) I have never heard or listened to the song.

  Some elders obviously get a h--d o- when hearing details of this nature. Perverts. It is why I will never serve again. It is totally sick

  What Did You Do As A Witness That Could Have Gotten You Into Trouble Had The Elders Ever Known About It?

  2. friends

  my elder buddy and i would frequent strip clubs when we wanted to.. a few friends knew i enjoyed clubbing and music concerts and i seldom ever spoke of my private social life to others.. i know many jws, including elders, that drank excessively but that wasn't considered too big a deal..

  O - I forgot - I suppose it goes without saying that I watched hard core porn while serving as secretary. By the way I was partial to inter-racial lesbians.
