Based on I.Q. tests given to members of different professions, pastors scored the lowest. The intelligence of some pastors is equivalent to that of an adult monkey, or a 3 year old child. Some border on retardation.

This is quite true. Folks, I've read his study, and it's perfectly genuine.

The RESULT of the test MAY be true but that is not to say that 'the intelligence of some pastors is equivalent to that of an adult monkey, or a 3 year old child. Some border on retardation' as stated.
Apart from the fact that the IQ tests are made by man, they take many forms.
It would be interesting to know the purpose of that 'intelligence' test, what kind of intelligence was being tested, and what the questions were.

Adult monkey/3 year old I have difficult accepting--you need to be able to form words to be a pastor. However, I have met pastors who border on mental retardation.

False. Most pastors are college graduates, many holding degrees in education and counseling besides their degrees in theology. Many hold masters and even doctoral degrees.
They are often fluent in multiple languages, having learned the Greek of the New Testament and the Hebrew and Aramaic of the Old Testament. Two very difficult languages because they require the learn of entirely different alphabets to be able to read them.

Hardly. I would suspect the one giving the test might be biased against that segment of society.
Then again, there probably wasn't any test given at all.

well frankly that do not bother me as there are also other people in church who will help like apostles, prophets. intercessors ext. Do know some of them with I.Q. higher than what you have so be careful.

It doesn't surprise me but I'd like to see a link or some evidence for the statistics quoted.

You'd really have to cite a source for anyone to take you seriously.
