the influential paper the telegraph comments on this american invasion of tropical pictured propaganda every where in london.
the commentator was not impressed.
Couldn't stomach the entire article, but did read some.
This new approach blew in from America, and is based on communicating how the Bible can help people deal with daily issues, such as stress.
"Stress has become a problem in your life? Just wait until Jehovah has several billion of your fellow humans, and possibly you, rubbed out."
"That sounds pretty stressful."
would you say this board gives accurate information, overall?
if someone started reading the comments here, do you think they would find this discussion board as accurate?.
There is some accuracy and there is a lot of opinion and personal perception.
let's be technical.
the bronze age ended in 1200 bce in devoloped places and later ... aroun 900-800 in other places.
indeed read 1 samuel 13's ending.. the bible was produced not one tiny bit in the bronze age.
Call them common origin stories. Babylonions are the source for violent gods and scary stories.
hey everyone,.
thanks qcf and nugget for starting threads.
thanks cofty for wondering where i was.
Good, good to hear from you. Enjoy your vacation. My gramma always said it's so much easier to get things into perspective when you're on vacation. Enjoy.
i am compelled to write a bit about this at this late hour here in the us, because it is keeping me up.. the recent four year old thread on the briggs myers personality type test that was dug up, produced an interesting finding.
many here, (at least tested informally for), the intj personality type.
intjs also do not understand irrational behavior particularly well at all.. why does this matter?
Also, the type change can have to do with whether you are depressed when you take the test.

The Bible being a bronze age book is actually something Christians claim.
Funny, I've never once heard anyone claim the Bible is a bronze age book, Christian or otherwise. I went to churches until I was 12 and since I left the JWs. Not ever a mention of the bronze age.

I am not an INTJ.
For those who took the test years ago, find more than one test version and take the tests again. Your type can change. I never was an INTJ, but my personality type has changed from ENFP to INFP and back to ENFP. And there was a time when I tested as something else. I have tested ENFP more often though. I know both INFPs and ENFPs who are ex jws.
and i feel sad.
everything happened so fast, 1999 back from patterson, 2000 inactive and no longer an elder, 2001 smoking everything that planet earth offers, and now in love with a girl for a couple of months.
i feel sad but liberated.
Happy endings are a good thing.
take this 72 yes/no question test to find out.. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp.
I would tell people that it doesn't define you, we are all individuals, but it can give you insight as to why you do the things you do.
Another important part of this for us all to keep in mind: our personalities can change with experience and time, so though you may test as one personality at 22, you might test as another at 30. Your I and E can change depending on how you are feeling emotionally.

Isn't it funny how just one little letter can make such a difference in personalities?
