hey guys: this is my first topic.. have any of you done a myers briggs test?
a lot of employers use it in the interview process.

Well, here is my score, I guess I'm moderately extrovert......
in some ways lfe as a jw was full - is life now more interesting or more of a chore?.
i have businesses to see to tomorrow (saturday) then perhaps i will go out for a few beers with my wife n saturday night.
sunday, catch up on a bit of paperwork and then perhaps watch the football (soccer) on the tv at our local pub.. .
Have to go to work on Saturday, long day.... On Sunday, it's studying (college courses) and then a dance party in the evening. I have to say that my social life is busier now, I am still meeting a lot of people and making friends. I can also say that I don't miss the kingdom hall, the conditional "friends", nor the "busy" work. I feel a lot more fulfilled doing the things I'm doing now and can appreciate how much I've been blessed since I left. One more thing, I want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences, joys, disappointments and all those encouraging tidbits of information. It really helped me to rid myself of the small remaining tentacles of the societies grip on my life and allowed me to go forward unbridled. Definitely sped up the adjustment period to just a few months.... I wish I could buy you all a round at the pub.
a small sample for now.... .
ok, ok... so i gotta crush on the lead singer dana, of "pele juju".
here's our backstage secerity .
wow, looks great...... for about one evening. Actually, I really would like to go to one of these events one day just for a few days. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one.
i left the witnesses in 1997. i was trying to make new friends and met some people through the gym.
my spouse and i went to their house for some dinner, and we thought it would be a great time.
also, we wanted to get to know people that were not witnesses and get a foot-hold into our new life.
I went to a apostafest in NJ and "gasp", these poztates were drink'in liquor and smoking and having a grand old time.... I need to go to a kingdom hall and sing some kingdom melodies to get that image out of my head! ;P
i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.
met a man who down to the tee is amazing.
he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.
"Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity and proceeds to conceal himself, but the inexperienced have passed along and must suffer the penalty." Which one are you?

check this out, it is hilarious..
cool, I think many witnesses would actually get a laugh out of this... Ted Jaracz would hate it and use it as a example of how witnesses are persecuted.

things that used to bother me within the organization.. for example, the time that the organization use to.
absorb, it seemed that i gave more than i received.
Many of the petty rules that were quite arbitary; the negativity and counsel against higher learning; the overuse of guilt and fear to motivate people; the harshiness and obsessiveness of some elders; the incredulous logic used to prove points; etc..
calico ethel.... one of my best friends!!!

One never knows but I don't really wanted know

lord of the flies.
grapes of wrath.
I have read many books that have influenced me one way or another but if I had to narrow it down to four books that made a significant impact for the positive in my life, it would be the following books:
the bible - I still believe in it although I recognize that there are many more accounts that have to viewed as allegorical. It still has powerful personal messages for me.
Seven habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey - Helped me to make enormous personal growth (This book prepared me to leave the borg and to start to see that there was serious problems with the religion and not me)
Feeling Good Handbook by Dr David Burns - Helped me to overcome common negative thinking errors (wish I had this book growing up)
Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz - I had so many doubts about the religion and was starting to record doctrinal errors on my own. After finally getting enough nerve to pick up the book, it put the final nail in the jdub coffin. I stopped going to the meeting after finishing reading this book in two days.
