by C0ntr013r in

first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.

but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.

so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .

I agree with you OEJ, ESFJ is probably the ideal witness.

I find it interesting that everyone has said N so far, which males sense:

Open minded, curious, looking for hidden meanings and future possibilities.

Will probably make it hard to have the mind stay in a fixed state. You curiosity will make you question and you will be willing to entertain others views and beliefs.

Thanks for your submission FayeDunaway!

Only E and N are the same between us, interesting.

I have a feeling we will see many more N's thou

"My personality hasn't changed. Matured yes, changed no."

I feel the same, but I was also quite young when I awoke, so its is hard for me to say.

I would like to investigate something with you guys, the primary questions I hope to gain a better understanding of are:

1. Is there a personality type that is more common among ex-JWs?

In other words; is there certain types of people who are easier to wake up, who are more likely to wake up on their own and who are harder to indoctrinate.

2. Does the JWs change people so fundamentally that they change their personality type?

Many of the things that decide your personality type are things you find within the JWs. One example is how judgmental you are, many JW are quite judgmental which will affect their results in a personality test.

I would like you to take the test a second time with the mindset of when you where a JW to see if you get the same result or if you had a different personality type in the ORG.

If you where a convert, I would like to know what personality type you where before you joined the ORG, what personality type you where when you where in and what personality type you are now.

3. Is there a personality type who is easier to convert?

Self explanatory.

There are probably more questions that we can get insight into with this data, these are just some of the questions I thought of that interest me.

I have guesses about the answers to theses questions but I think it would be interesting to get some actual data to see if there are any patterns.

Some of my thought:

Are many Ex-JWs logical thinkers?

Are many of the converts "feeling" individuals?

Will the Org make people more judging?

Do we overcompensate for the JWs mentality now that we are "free"?

etc...

I must admit that it is quite scary for us born-ins because we don't really know who we would have been without the ORG...

I put together this form that if you like, you can use in your submission:

Born in: Yes/No
Personality type pre JW:
Personality type as JW:
Personality type Ex-JW:

If you feel comfortable you can share the actual statistics of your test, for example here are mine:

(this will help me compile more detailed results)

You can use this form:

19% Extraverted 0% Introverted
34% Intuitive 0% Observant
5% Thinking 0% Feeling
0% Judging 15% Prospecting
7% Assertive 0% Turbulent

Looking forward to your submissions and thank you for reading and participating! :)

Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

by C0ntr013r in

i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

Here is a better picture of the watchtower I linked earlier:

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20130701/

(Credits to Stumpy for finding a better resolution.)

Some nuggets from the watchtower:

Can You Trust Religion Regarding Money?

Do the religions in your area employ direct or subtle pressure to obtain money? Is that in harmony with the Bible?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH?

The apostle Paul said: “It was with working night and day, so as not to put an expensive burden upon any one of you, that we preached the good news.” (1 Thessalonians 2:9) Paul worked as a tentmaker to support his ministry.—Acts 18:2, 3.

HOW DO JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES MEASURE UP?

This magazine obviously costs money to print and ship. Yet you will never see commercial advertising or appeals for money. The emphasis is on dispensing Bible truth.

JW UN Rumor

by ivanatahan in

yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.

that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).

i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

I also heard a variant about the nuts:

A pioneer couple where on a buss tripp with a bunch of pensihonneers on. They where handed a lot of peanuts during the journey, so later they asked the pensihonneers why they gave them so much peanuts to eat. And they answered that since they had so bad teeth, they could only suck the chocolate of the nuts but not chew them, so they gave them all to the couple.

I heard some variant of this story as well growing up:

Two witnesses where out in field service and met a high ranking UN official. When they told him that the UN soon would ban all religions he was astonished and asked them how they knew they where planning to do that. He also confirmed that they where absolutely correct and wanted to know how they found out since it was very secret information. So the witnesses showed him from the Bible and he was amazed...
