  OCD in the Watchtower

  by jasminder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the most classic symptoms/forms of obsessive-compulsive disorder is counting--counting windows on a building, counting books on shelves, etc etc.

  anyone want to comment on the witness' seeming obsession with numbers, even when they're not really applicable?

  numbers of booklets printed in a month, numbers of languages published... even in booklets like the bible teach (for those of you who escaped way back in the day, the latest incarnation of the "truth...everlasting life" book).. how about the fact that elders, esp in my congregation, would so often make some comment about how close a speaker got to his target talk length "i went a minute over, i apologize.

  someone in a completely different segment of associates from you old ex-jws here posed this wish:.

  i've often wished someone would do a study to see if there is a real correlation between personality type and religious/spiritual leanings.

  i've long noticed that in fantasy subcultures and "new" religions, as well as those that attract many adult converts (and have trouble retaining people born into the faith), the same types keep showing up.

  Does anyone have experience with SYNESTHESIA?

  by Nathan Natas in

  .

  i had a very interesting discussion with a genius friend of mine not long ago about the subject of synesthesia.

  if you have personal or professional experience with synesthesia, drop me a line.synesthesia - a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color..
