What's your Myers-Briggs?

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.

thank's for the new word "eisegesis", while reading your article on jesus christ's mediatorship between mankind and the annointed (now governing body) 144,000.. you content is very good as you present your case with valuable insights without attacking witnesses as "morons, idiots, cult" or like some other agencies do!

cheerio!.

Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

Always, barely had a couple of people I called friends. Everyone was always gossiping about everyone else behind their back.

the january study edition is now available on mp3 format.

it includes the following gems.. .

don't work overtime or spend too much time in recreation.

PrincessPeachz

I can only see up to Dec 12 on their site, for the study edition :-/

This is an issue close to my heart, as the only way my dad would contact me would be via email so my mum and others couldn't keep tabs on him as easy as if he were texting/calling.

I haven't heard from him in a while, prolly this is why.
