don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer.
answers are for who you are now not who you were in the past.
this is a real test given by the hr dept.
Well I'm a 44 and I'd like to think that others see me this way but sometimes I have my doubts.
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out. "
i just got out of a vat of cheesey, sickly-sweet goo.
what is that i hear you all shout - aghast and a-gog (but not of maygog, oh no) and where.
oh, i fear for the unwary and timid.
Why, are you first in the queue?
Hehehe, good one.
i know that this topic will be a draw to those who are truly interested in this subject, and for those who seem to feel that it is their "duty" to debunk untruth and myth, etc.
in their sphere of life.
let it so be stated that whoever is truly interested in this subject, and in having a "chart" done, etc.
FMZ, what are you doing up? Isn't it about 4 in the morning in Missouri?
how many of you have been in therapy after leaving the jws?
did it help ?
I went into therapy about ten years after I left, when I was 25. I was still just so angry with my parents for raising me that way, and with the religion for all the nasty things they did to me and my family, and I was still suffering the effects of a basically psychotic childhood. JW religion wasn't the only reason for that, but it was a major contributing factor. I really think it's worth doing, and next month I am starting my own therapy course and thinking very hard (long-term) about specialising in people who have belonged to cults. But that's quite a ways down the line.
wouldn't it be nice,,just daydreamming pleasant thoughs.
oh,, just think how nice it would be,, if they would have to sell everything they own just to pay off a mountain of child molestation law suits.
o come sweet jesus!
It's a happy thought frankie but they have over 200 billion in assets and a billion a year in revenues. I think they'd have to lose quite a few lawsuits to go out of business.

FMZ you totally rock. I find it really cute the way guys like to come up with superhero characters for themselves. You're definitely my hero on this board. For now, anyway.
utterly disgusting.
those responsible should be lined against a wall and shot.
publicly.. i think that would win more hearts and minds than bombing cities and using gunships on civilian areas.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4855930/.
Tell ya what big guy, love them terrorists all ya want...
I really dislike this kind of talk. Just because people don't like American foreign policy and don't support Bush, doesn't mean they love terrorists. This is just bullying and intimidation.
my knowledge of mental health difficulties is confined to my own experiences with depression.. thankfully, i feel that i was able to eventually identify it's source and deal with the problem.
i read lot's of books and camne to the conclusion that i was suffering from a neurosis.. apparently, neurotic people recognise that they have a problem and often seek to remedy that problem.. i read also that there are people who suffer from a psychosis.
psychotic people think that the problems they encounter are everyone elses fault and don't take responsibilty for their situation.
Supposing a poster alternated between being caring and considerate one day and then became vicious, foul and so abusive that it made some people feel physically sick with the sheer awfulness of what was posted?Then suppose you discovered that the poster concerned was actually taking medication for schizophrenia?
What are we supposed to do? Forget the bad days because the person concerned probably can't actually help the way that they're acting?
I'm not trying to make a point here. Some ex's do have serious mental health issues. Do we have some sort of obligation to assist them?
As long as we are just talking about this board, and not real life, I personally would be inclined to make some allowances. We don't have to worry about being physically attacked. Knowing that a person had a serious mental problem would make it easier for me to dismiss the crappy stuff they might say, maybe even give some of the love and care that I would be too afraid to give in in person. I mean, I felt compassion for Natalienlieu. Maybe she was just a troll (hell, maybe she was a he, I don't know), but I felt she was an okay person who suddenly got into a sad, bad place. She really seemed to go a bit wonky. If I knew that she was, for example, a diagnosed schizophrenic I might have just wanted to say, hey, calm down, take your meds, you're doing that thing you do and you know you'll be sorry later.
hello all- thought this article would be of interest; if this doesn't post correctly, the entire article is on law.com.

In it, the Watchtower defendants again raised the First Amendment as a bar to the litigation, but more to the point, claimed that under Texas law, they owed no duty to protect the plaintiff from the crimes of a fellow congregant.
I really wonder what the rank and file would feel if they saw this. What's the point of that endless babble about the shepherd and the flock, except to make them feel that the Society is looking after them? Do they know that actually these guys feel NO responsibility towards them or their children at all?
it's all about texas!.
their beliefs are bonkers, but they are at the heart of power .
us christian fundamentalists are driving bush's middle east policy .
Well, if Hans Blix, the head of the UN force looking for WMDs, didn't find them, after months of thorough searching, then I think pretty much EVERY intelligence agency must have known they weren't there.
