  it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

  Once I was cleaning the KH and I decided to play my Men At Work CD in the KH's sound system.

  An elder came and it was just like I was adoring the golden calf.

  In the 90's something like that inside a KH could end in genocide.

  I wonder how I would react to this if I was still in. I would play Phineas and the spear. Poor old timers...

  I just can't believe in my eyes.

  This is not the same religion that called me an apostate.

  The INTJ Personality Type, (and those close to it)

  by done4good in

  2. friends

  i am compelled to write a bit about this at this late hour here in the us, because it is keeping me up.. the recent four year old thread on the briggs myers personality type test that was dug up, produced an interesting finding.

  many here, (at least tested informally for), the intj personality type.

  intjs also do not understand irrational behavior particularly well at all.. why does this matter?

  Yeah online tests are jokes. But the theory is amazing.

  Is This Not Blaspheme?

  by Pinku in

  2. beliefs

  is this not blaspheme?.

  there three broad views on (the purpose of) life:.

  1) life arose out of nothing and will return to it.

  1) Life arose out of nothing and will return to it

  This is the purest truth I know.

  It makes me responsible to myself and to life itself, because it's a very rare and ethereal thing.

  God is a collateral effect from primitive minds.

  What do Baptists believe?

  by quellycatface in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  You can't change your type.

  But you can fake for short periods of time. It demands lots of mental energy, it literally gives you headaches.

  Type is a complex mix between nature and nurture (before 5 or 6 yo).

  You can't reset your early childhood and your genome, YET.

  Your thoughts on demons, ghosts and spirits

  by Crazyguy in

  2. beliefs

  as a jw were taught all about demons but i never had an incident.

  my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.

  i have met people that even non religious people that say they have experienced a ghost or a spirit.

  jw.org getting out of hand

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.

  by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.

  jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

  They still don't decided which line the dot stays...

  I see a theocratical split in this: the JW dotters and the Dot orggers.

  Which side you will choose? LOL
