Are You Raising An Introvert?

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

I'm 8.5 out of 10. Never considered this before.

Edited to add: I just say "I'm basically shy."

Very interesting topic Darth. I will read more when I get home tonight. Thank you.

SOCKS FOR TOMO (Sock Drive)

anthony morris iii has inspired me to conduct a sock drive for the homeless.

socks are the most needed articles of clothing, but the least donated at shelters.

kids need socks too, so don't forget them.

This would be funny. What if everybody send 1 pair of colorful socks to TOMO and Bethel received thousands of pairs from the aposta army!

Having heard countless talks through the years regarding women's clothing and appearence, it's wild to see this rant about men's tight pants.

My Breaking Point -- 11/9/14

i have enjoyed reading your comments during the past four years.

deep down inside, i have always been agnostic.

the first few chapters in genesis are contradictory and differing.. no one has ever been able to answer my question: "why was satan ever created?".

Welcome game1014over! Well done!

So the Orkin guy walks into my office...

looks at me and says "you look familiar.

Clink 3rdgen. I have no qualms telling this guy I don't go, but it's been a surprise both times, and I'm at work in a very public area. I don't mind my co-workers hearing him go on about things, and his "god is good" comments because I have let everybody know how I was treated after I left. So they already have no respect for the WT, and crazy talk is just icing on the cake.

Gregor, I think he is just hanging on. But I think he is the type that would be lost without the rules and boundaries of the religion. You know, if he wasn't a dub he'd be one heartbeat away from extreme behavior. I know several of those types. They have told me going to meetings keeps them "off the pole" if you know what I mean. **sigh**

Mr. Orkin dropped in again today just to visit. Lucky me. I know that will stop when I tell him I don't attend meetings.

Anyway, in talking about the old congregation he told me that a big group left the hall, and that there only 70+ or so "publishers" (don't ya just love that word!) left. He said there were about 110 when he was there a year ago. And frankly, the count was was NEVER that low the whole 20 yrs I was at that hall. I know of about 8 of the elderly that have died, and people do move for different reasons...but it is truly "happifying" when a congregation shrinks...for whatever reason.

Marketing to distract attention from million dollar lawsuits for harboring pedophiles.

Arrogant liars.

Don't forget Anthony Morris. 😃 He's got some great comments in his head I'm sure he'd love to share with the world.

Lett, they could show excerpts of his brilliant video on how much they "LOVE" the children.

(wow, just noticed Iannelli isn't on the Writing Committee anymore.)

Yeah, the "Dalai Lama defense" was an interesting tack. I was expecting them to add they are a "volunteer" organization and cannot direct anybody to do anything. (Just realized I might use the "Volunteer" issue sometime. "I stopped voluneering.")

Some of the things the WT lawyers say are so incredulous! Especially to a judge and jury who are trying to seek the truth in a case to render a fair decision.
