  need advice

  2. friends

  i'm trying to fade away from the jw religion fully aware of ttatt .

  my wife is still under mind control of this cult and teenager 14 years old attending most of the meetings an some ministry arrangements but is not interested and going just to please mum.

  i actively educate my son about about other cults and their practices and he knows i don't believe that wt has anything to do with god.

  Telling your child straight out that his mother is under mind-control or in a cult will undermine her authority and his respect.

  Slow and steady here, is my best suggestion.

  So Happy to Learn About Homemade Weed Killer

  by Iown Mylife in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  three days ago we mixed up the recipe and sprayed the driveway cracks and several places where the weeds have been hard to get rid of.. today the weeds are dead just like when we've sprayed commercial weed killer.. mix one gallon white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 5 to 6 tablespoons of dawn dishwashing liquid.

  note: don't spray if it's fixin' to rain, wait for dry weather so the stuff will stay on the weeds.

  and don't spray where you want anything to grow ever!.

  The INTJ Personality Type, (and those close to it)

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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?

  I took the Briggs-Myer test about 20 years ago for work. I also scored as INTJ. At the time I was a full-fledged witness.

  Several years later, as I started college and at the same started to distance myself from the org, I tested differently. I don't remember how I scored, but it might have been ISTP. I questioned the results at the time but did not get satisfying answer as to how I could have different results. I had forgotten about that until now.

  I might re-take the test and see where I place at this stage in life.

  Is it normal for people to change like that? I have not read the other thread so might do that soon, as well.

  Interesting. Thanks for your comments here.

  In Death lies Glory

  i was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).

  everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.

  we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.

The more scarce something is the more valuable to you. Is that one of the reasons why Jehovahs Witnesses and many other Religions treat Life so cheaply and inconsiderate? As something that you can throw away, waste and use without concern?

  Wow. It's late and I read thru your post quickly. But the sentences above caught my attention. You stated so beautifully what I came to believe about 7 years ago. But your presentation makes so much more sense to me than my own attempt.

  Thank you for sharing this bit of your story and belief. I understand where you are coming from and agree with you about JWs treating life so cheaply. My life changed drastically when I realized that I will die someday. And when you realize that, everyday becomes so much more precious.

  I'm really glad you posted this. Thank you again.
