  what brings a smile to your face?

  i cant help but smile when my wife laughs, or when my kids play outside.

  i also smile when my boy, who is 15 wants to talk to me.

  Children's laughter.

  Inside jokes-especially when it is between my sister and me, we think soooo much alike.

  i am 50 years old today.

  the world is a very different place from the one i was born into.

  i have been witness to the beginnings of television and the explosion in communications; cell phones and computers.

  Disgusting JW Funeral story

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i heard of a funeral held for a sister last week in a kh.. her non-jw daughter-in-law write a poem for her, and wanted to read it at the service in the kingdom hall.

  the d-i-l had studied many years ago but was never baptized.

  however, because she was wearing slacks, she was refused to read it from the platform and had to read it from her seat in the audience.. how low can you go?

  It is very sad. They picked a situation in which they could humiliate another victim. In contrast, I attended a funeral for a njw and they took the time to honor her accomplishments, her love for her family, & friends, and her dedication to her profession (nursing). This funeral in no way idolized this beautiful woman. Anyone who wanted to share stories or memories were free to do so from the platform or from the floor, whichever place made the person more comfortable. I have never attended such a beautiful service. This woman's life was cut short and she deserved such a memorable service.

  I am so sorry about your sadness. I think sometimes the emotional pain is harder to deal with then physical pain. Even though you were expecting the call it still catches you off-gaurd. Does that mean you get a whole year now before you have to go through that again?

  My Favorite Personality Test~~ Myers-Briggs

  I am an ENFP

  ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.

  ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.

  One study has shown that ENFPs are significantly overrepresented in psychodrama. Most have a natural propensity for role-playing and acting.

  ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. This penchant may be why many are attracted to journalism. I kid one of my ENFP friends that if I want the sixth fleet to know something, I'll just tell him.

  ENFPs are global learners. Close enough is satisfactory to the ENFP, which may unnerve more precise thinking types, especially with such things as piano practice ("three quarter notes or four ... what's the difference?") Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics.

  Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.

  One ENFP colleague, a social worker, had such tremendous interpersonal skills that she put her interviewers at ease during her own job interview. She had the ability to make strangers feel like old friends.

  ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment.

  At a former place of work it was fun to put those mini white poppers (the ones you throw on the ground and they make a loud noise) in the paper shredder. The poor receptionist jumped every time.

  Been here a year...(ramblings)

  by Cowboy in

  yep,one year ago tonight i first posted here.i had lurked for a few weeks,never intending to post,but a particular thread hit so close to home for me,that i felt like i had to voice my opinion.of course,i was promptly slammed as being a troll,but i was stubborn enough to hang around.here i am still hanging,a whole year later.

  i've maybe learned more in this past year than in the ten before it all put together.i've learned a whole lot about myself-about who i am,and why.i've learned about the organization that shaped my life and my family.originally i was shocked by alot of what i read here,and wasn't sure whether or not to believe it all.but looking back,knowing what i do now explains an awful lot of things.

  i've learned lot's about people,too.like many who were raised jw,i led a very sheltered childhood(even more so living in the country,going to a small school).i'm still not sure if this is a real cross section of life,but i think it's pretty close.i'm happy to say that i've made lot's of friends here,some very good ones.though i've had my share of disagreements,i don't consider anyone here an enemy.
