If sharing their unhappiness produced a togetherness, they answer (though in a complicated secluded way) to your upper statement.

When you count that in 120 years 60 members of these Twelve Apostals Group came to a certain fame is that impressive? (I've no idea of statistics) Does that say anything about the " je ne sais pas quoi"".


Not quite, BranShea. Imagine a clique of robbers who within their own group have status and mutual respect. Alas, these robbers can't spend their entire lives in robber's meetings, sooner or later they must go out into the larger world to rob, steal, and pillage. Of course, if they work hard at robbing and are thrifty, they might build themselves a big house in an exclusive neighborhood and find high status among non-robbing folks. But catch 22. They will always know that they are living a lie and consequently they will never never be truly happy. Catch 22.

And now to answer your question about the "je ne sais pas quoi".
The answer is "Ich weiß nicht was".

I really do know what;
I just wanted to fight showy French with no nonsense German.
