I meant earlier that I think that Don Adams, Ted Jarezc and J.R. Brown are the shaping and guiding force in Bethel today. I think that Don is the Administrator/Businessman, Ted is the "oracle", heavy, final say guy and J.R. Brown is the shaper of policy through public statements and control of the legal department.

What do you think?

Hillary, if you would like to coorespond via email, I find the internal struction of the GB and associated assistants, offices and committees fascinating and I don't know enough by a long shot.

The "Mute Witness" of Pittsburgh PA

by Nathan Natas in

charles taze russell, first president of the watchtower society, died on halloween, 1916. .

five miles north of pittsburgh, pennsylvania he rests, in rosemont united cemeteries, on a burial plot that was intended for the use of members of the watchtower society's headquarters staff - the "bethel family.

" the plot is not small; it is spacious enough to allow for about 275 adult graves, and in the exact center of this space we can find today a very curious thing: a pyramid.

one of my favorite people ever was an INTJ. Very intelligent. Brilliant minds those NT have.
Very good at thinking on their own rather than being a "follower".
Very full of plans and ideas of sooooo many things they wish to learn.
So did you find that the description of the iNTj really fit you?

Yes, I've found that I'm pretty dead on for iNTj. I switch back and forth over the years between E and I.

I took the test two years ago and was an iNFp the Healer. Reading over that now, I'm definitely not that now.

The Portrait of the Mastermind (iNTj)

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in INTJs. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the INTJs increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

It is in their abilities that INTJs differ from the other NTs, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other NTs: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

INTJs will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the INTJ's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, INTJs are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, INTJs are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, INTJs approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the INTJ, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, INTJs are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. INTJs are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the INTJs. On the other hand, INTJs can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.

Too much bad language, sex & pics

by Simon in

jw
friends

please can everyone think twice before they make posts containing bad language (even if not directed at individuals), graphic sex talk and nude or semi-nude pictures (especially if explicit).

this is not what the forum is here for.

if you want to post stuff like that then there are lots of places on the internet for it and, more importantly, if people want to see and read stuff like that then they are quite capable of going to these places themselves.. i know everyone likes to 'let their hair down' now and again, me included, and i like pictures of sexy women as much as anyone .

Dearest Simon,

I agree with Naeblis and the others that suggest a way to:

1.) Opt-in to the Adult section.
2.) Not have the Adult threads pop up in the Active List
3.) Password protect the Adult section.

However, you have to realized that nowhere else on the net will there be people with our backgrounds that can share and socialize about sex and the issues that we exJW's have with it. I've been to other chat rooms and boards, forums, newgroups, etc. and I've only found people that I can truly relate to sexually here.

I'm a huge believer in technological solutions and I believe with your good graces that we can have a technial solution for this.

Please? I'll be your best friend!
