  i am infp.. some former witnesses in my hometown had a meetup last night...alas, only four of us.

  but it turned out we had an infp(me), two infjs, and an enfp.

  therefore, it turned out we were all idealists.

  American Elections - From an outsider

  i am not huge into politics but i follow the american elections and kind of keep my finger on it.

  i have my own strong views on sa politics.. i just want to applaud you, the american people for going about your elections in a very fair, democratic and peaceful manner.

  it certainly came across very polished and well run.

  If you believe God exists, what are your thoughts on what pleases him most?

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  our family has come to believe that god really wants each individual to personally and independently seek, find and walk with him - quite apart from what other humans say, think, believe or do.. we believe we were created as semi-autonomous beings.

  when our inner compass is recalibrated, and we then self-direct, the outcomes seem best.. when we are instead led by humans, their hierarchies, organisations and ideas, the outcomes on the whole seem unfavourable.

  legalism (rules), moralism (a moral code), ethnocentrism (doctrine), and gnosticism (knowledge) may seem meritorious.. yet these do not seem to lead to the deep inner transformation needed.

  Lots of Good News everybody!

  you know one of the reasons why some witnesses decide to stay inside is to help others wake up and leave as well, and although this hasnt been exactly a goal of mine, it was something i'd ponder every now and again.

  and we all know that it is not easy to get to jw's when they are fully mind controlled.

  but i'd like to tell you guys what's been happening with brothers and sisters without the help of others who know ttatt.... so last night i got a phone call from a brother who's a good friend of mine whom i've talked about in the past here.

  Congrats, that is awesome. One of my close relitives admited to me today, that they lost a lot of faith after the overlappin' generations. So I am happy with you.

  You would be correct. October 5th is the busiest birthday of the year, it falls perfectly after new year's eve... It also makes the proceeding week quite busy as well....

  I am an October suprise.
