  sir82, the phrase "Present Truth" (both words capitalized) was very common in the Watchtower literature back in Russell's day. The Finished Mystery book had it in its text over 60 times. Most fanatical JWs would feel at home back then no matter how alien some doctrines might be.

  How many of us are 'perfectionists'?

  i made a medium level mistake at work today, and when i make mistakes it really shakes me up and takes me a long time to recover.

  it completely rattles me, makes me feel awful about myself.

  my mind keeps going back to the mistake reliving how i could have let it happen.

  That describes me too Faye. I've been clinically diagnosed as having OCPD. I too relive things from my youth decades ago.

  I think it's a neurological issue with most people. Our brains are simply different.

  based on what we've seen, it seems to me that of the seven, splane and jackson are the smartest; herd, lett and morris the least intelligent; and sanderson and losch somewhere in the middle.

  .

  what's your impression?.

  LAWHFol, you have to be extremely cautious in your recommendations of herbal sedatives. "Mitragyna speciosa", also known as Kratom, is an opiate like drug that can be addictive.

  Black Wolf, you might want to go to a mental health clinic and ask them if there's anything they can do for you in spite of your being 16 years old and without involving your parents. You might have rights you don't know about.

  How much of an award can we expect per victim and how many victims are likely to jump on the bandwagon?

  I'd hate to go against the grain here but things will get worse in the upcoming decades. It doesn't matter how much the JWs would gloat about that since nothing that they predict about the end will ever come to pass. No matter how much misery the world will suffer, nothing like the UN overthrow of "Babylon the Great" or "Armageddon" will occur.
