  cool, Frankie... here's mine (i used the name "Jane D'oh" ) Jane, your subconscious mind is driven most by Love

  Everyone has a desire to love. But your desire is rooted very deeply in your unconscious and affects many of the decisions you make in life ? whether you are aware of it or not.
  
  You have an energy about you that inspires people to experience their true feelings of love and act kindly towards others. In this way, you and your drive for loving relationships start a chain reaction of positive experiences.
  
  The reason you are driven by love, may be because your unconscious is trying to avoid the opposite of love ? hate. You, more than others, may be afraid of experiencing severe discord with others. That may, in turn, heavily influence your choices about relationships and the way you communicate your ideas, wants, and desires to others.
  
  With such a strong orientation towards loving others, your relationships hold a very special place in your life. Your capacity to love may be greater than those around you, and therefore you may have more to give in relationships than your romantic partner does. Remember that this is a gift you have and one most others don't possess.

  Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Love, there is much more to who you are at your core.

  i watched this show religiously as a kid on pbs.

  loved it, it was a great escape from my messed up life.

  talking about it in jr. high and high school helped earn me affectionate nicknames like "nerd, spaz, dork, faggot, etc.

  that guy who plays dr. who looks just like this one engineer i used to work with. in fact, i used to call him dr. who... he was really smart but kinda arrogant, like he knew everything in the world. anyway i watched that show a few times... it didn't click with me for some reason. yikes what is it with me and British tv? although i do really like that one show "Keeping Up Appearances".. that is a riot!

  luv her outfit...

  Are ex-jw's or "apostates" addicted to jw-bashing?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this might seem like a funny question to ask but my mom told me that "apostates" are addicted to jw-bashing and cannot let it go and have a life.

  i asked her what she meant by this statement and she told me that all ex-jw's talk about is the wts and jw's and negative things about the jw's.

  she said that we get up thinking about jw-bashing and go to sleep thinking about jw-bashing just like a drug addict.

  LOL! Like when your walking by yourself and ya trip on a sidewalk----and ya try and act cool.....like you didn't do THAT

  yikes... i actually had that happen to me once... i was walking into my work building, and of course, the usual engineers were out front, smoking cigarettes. i had these new shoes on, which were mary janes, but they had these stacked heels that were kind of chunky. so i was half-running 'cause i was late and yep, my heel caught on some badly poured concrete and down i went... there's no way to act nonchalant, although i didn't try, heh. of course they all rushed over oh are you ok etc and i felt even more embarrassed, 'cause i hate people fawning over me. (anyway, i'm glad you survived the shock, lol)

  I will go up to people and continue to talk to them. I hope this will show them how silly it is to go from being good friends with someone one day to not even acknowledging their existence the next day.

  i admire your faith in human nature. unfortunately, the lesson would be lost on jehovahs witnesses, what with their "monkey see, monkey do" mentality. they will be only too glad to freeze you, so why give them the satisfaction of deliberately shunning you?

  PROVE That Jehovah's Witnesses DON'T Have The Truth

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws are convinced they alone have the truth.

  they are scripturally trained to prove to others why they are "in the truth".

  from your vantage point, how can you show this is untrue??

  the witnesses don't have the truth because it keeps changing all the time. like any lie.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses Depend on Mental Illness?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you still go to meetings, take a good look around the kingdom hall next time you attend and think about what you are.

  likely seeing.. many witnesses will sit in a half-awake mode - despite confronting a risk to life or limb in attending, because of bad weather or the sort.

  of neighborhood the hall is located in.

  JW's should have a slogan " All hypochondriacs apply within"

  amen to that. it seems though, when i was in, i didn't meet too many unhealthy people...but then again i was pretty young and maybe not in tune to that kind of thing. but i do know that my relatives who are still in are all sick and on drugs and alcohol. (how do i know? well, i was reunited with my sister and her friends and family briefly, and i keep tabs on them by reading their blogs (my only window to their life) and every day it's some crisis or trip to the ER for pain.... weird. )

  Seeing JWs in a positive light.

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not a new light, just a positive light.. sometimes on here i worry that all jws are painted with a bad brush when i know that not to be the case.

  today i was looking after a jw patient on the ward and she was the most wonderful old girl you could meet, she really made me smile, and she was bright as a button.

  later her family came in, who i didn't recognise and they were just as pleasent.

  good grief... here's the "context"...first i said (not to YOU):

  Jehovah's Witnesses are loving, sweet, thoughtful, and kind... ...until they find out you don't want to study with them, are DF'd or (shudder) an apostate. then you said (to ME):

  		Jan 29, 2005
  	Apostates are loving, sweet, thoughtful and kind... until they find out you don't agree with them, dare to disagree, or don't follow the party line. See...it makes as much sense as what you typed.

  then i replied and asked you what part of my original statement was false... you didn't answer. you know why? 'cause you know it's true. jehiovah's witnesses are indeed very nice to you when you are studying with them and when they want to convert you,,, but as soon as they see that you are a lost cause, or an apostate, they shun you. that is the point i was trying to make. then you say:

  Bruce, irf you'd read the line about apostates in the context I'd written it, you would see that I find that statement silly too.....it doesn't make sense to me no more than making a broad statement about JWs does......

  how is it "silly", and a "broad statement", and how does it "not make sense"? and what apostates are you talking about who are nice to you until you disagree with them? i dont know any of the people here beyond what they post, so maybe i can't judge them like you seem to be able to. if you say i'm making a blanket statement, then so are you, only yours is the one that's inaccurate, because jw's are the ones who can't think for themselves and string two words together without permission from the governing body, or without worrying what somebody will think. excuse me, i thought when you created this thread you were asking people's honest opinions, but i see that you only want people to post stuff you agree with, apparently.
