I'm an INTP (I took this years ago). So, I'm close, but no cigar. I'd be so interested to know how my mom scored:)

The INTJ Personality Type, (and those close to it)
by done4good ini 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?

jw.org getting out of hand
by Gorbatchov init seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

The content being weaker is a reflection of one thing-attention spans are shorter and people have lots ofother sites to visit. Few go to the internet for anything other than to have their ears (metaphorically) tickled. I've even noticed that I am not as likely to dig into things online anymore-lots of distractions. Unless something REALLY catches my interest-I stay on the surface because there is just info overload.
Plus, JWs ultimately have nothing important to say. Whatever urgency they had, is lost-and honestly, as their credibility is shot (and so easily discovered, even with only cursory research) that they will never get back the kind of response that they got in the early 70's.
The only ones that would bewilling to drink the coolaid are the ones that have been in since then or who are raised obsessively by JWs were are still deluded. I don't think any new ones will give them the kind of loyalty that they demand, though they might show up for meetings.

I thought gag orders were now illegal in California. Settlements with a nondisclosure clause, that is.

VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations
by CaptainSchmideo inokay, some good takeaway:.
i have never been to a convention quite like this before.
a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

I am sure that your summary was more entertaining than the whole day was. sorry you had to go through that to amuse us.
BTW, Texas flags? Here in Texas, I think those flags are simply an identity thing, not a political statement-Texas is just kinda different. I can actually see how JWs wouldn't think of it as an issue. Heck, they are more like a logo for Texas-the Lone Star state. While there is something underlyingly polititical about the Texas vibe (we are only here at our pleasure, thank you very much), it is just kind of ingrained.Like brisket and BBQ.
I am a transplant and the standard (and expected) response to the query about where (outisders) are from, is to say the place they came from and add "but I got here as fast as I could".
BTW, I LOVE TEXAS!!!
Just my opinion, yours may vary.

The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals
by cofty inmy thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.
this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.
it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.

The focus of all these troll visits is to discredit ALL former JWs. Make them look like they are off their collective rockers. Then nothing is credible.

Pedophile Elder in jail gets reinstated
by Trapped in JW land inthere was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.

Don/t you have to suffer through at least a year of being shunned at EVERY meeting before they reconsider you for re-instatement? Lots of begging, groveling, showing that you are not hanging out with bad influences (or anyone, really, considering JWs can't talk to you)? That seems kinda inequitable when they DF a guy just for giving an appearance of evil (suspected fornication with two witnesses that they spent too much time alone or something)

Dear Kate, you are about my favorite person on this board. I've been concerned for you lately and hope that you feel better (in every way) soon. You have faced a lot lately and more than I have ever revealed on this board, I feel WITH you. Please know you are not alone and try to find the best in your daily life without dwelling on the things that for now can't change. Eventually everything does shift, alters, transforms-just like you did with your faith, your life will continue to become what it will be. Please be patient with yourself and the circumstances. This is all really really new.
I care about you in south Texas on the Gulf coast! Pin me to your map with a little heart cause I love you and want the best for you.

Wow, this whole thing looks more personal than it is about coming to an answer or a winner of a debate. Someone just wants to argue (and yes, it takes one to know one!)

I don't have the attention span for this kind of silliness/riddles or the patience for that particular brand of feisty, but I will welcome you back to the board and wish you well. This is a great place for attention getters as well as a lot of others who want to learn, want to vent, to express, to ask questions. We all have a place here. There is something for everyone! Again, welcome back!
