Esmerelda:
What a coincidence. I also took the Keirsey test some time ago and came up as an INFJ (idealist, Counselor). My dear bf, Phil, rated as an ISFJ. It's amazing how a set of multiple choice questions can describe your personality so well.

To rem: Re: Keirsey Personality Types
by Esmeralda inhey rem,.
i saw your post in the astrology thread and decided to start a new discussion here about keirsey.
i noticed how many people have been enjoying the silly little emode tests and immediately thought they'd really be amazed by keirsey.

By the way, I'm printing out all of your responses so that the next time I talk to my mother or any other JW, I will have the information I need. If this is OK with you.
Thank you guys so much.

Thanks for your response, guys. Of coarse I got some of my information from my JW mother who is going to put a positive spin on the WBTS's actions. I'm trying very hard to keep an open mind and see things from both points of view before I condemn anybody.
However, you made some very good points about the society being hypocritical (not allowing us to work for UN, join YMCA etcetera). I don't know why I didn't think of that when talking to my mother. Could've been because she hung up on me for reading "apostate" material. Geeeezz...[8>]
I'm also very sorry about bringing up a subject that has been talked into the ground....I just needed to know.
Thanks for your help

Before I get started, please let me emphasize that I am not a Witness nor ever will be again. Many of their policies are crooked and underhanded. However, I did some more research on the UN thing and found out valid reasons why the WTBTS joined. If any of you have further information that disputes what I am posting, please let me know, as I am searching for the truth on this matter.
I called Paul Hoeffel, Chief of the NGO at the UN regarding the Witnesses involvement. Being an NGO with the DPI doesn't necessarily mean that you are pro-UN. It just means that you can educate the people regarding the UN, which is JWs do, just not in the positive light that is automatically assumed. Also, being registered with the DPI of the UN means you have access to their resource which Witnesses need in order to quote certain UN officials in their Awakes/Watchtowers. Possibly, when xjws found out about it, they removed their names from the list so they wouldn't give people the wrong idea.
It is also fact that many other religions figures (priest, pastors, etc....)subscribe the Watchtowers and Awakes, not because they support Witnesses, but because they want their information for the purpose of disputing their doctrines. It sounds to me like the JWs are doing the same thing.As I said above, if anybody has further information that I am missing, please feel free to contact me. Of coarse you can post, or you can e-mail me directly at [email protected]
Whatever help you can give me is much appreciated.

Should is the most dangerous word
by joelbear inthis bear has been pondering just how dangerous the word "should" is.. "should" moves us into a state of constant frustration since "should" so rarely equates with "is".. joel

Joelbear:
I much agree with your post. Somebody once told me that you should never "should" on yourself. It is a word that causes guilt, frustration, and manipulation if dealing with other people.

Thanks for the reply ARoarer.
This is really going to chap some JW's a$$es. "What? You're telling us we can't go door-to-door? It was fortold that Jesus's true followers would be persecuted!" I can just hear it now.

Unfortunately, I am at work and don't have access to a television. Are you seeing this with your own two eyes? Or is this hearsay? I just called my JW mother and asked her about it. She said that she hasn't heard anything about it (at least not yet).

I live in Ohio and haven't heard any such thing. However, it's interesting if they did ban door to door work. I wonder what their motive is in doing this.
Please keep me posted.
