  Personality types and religious adherence

  by EdenOne in

  i was going through the personality types of the briggs-myers test (take the free test here) and noticed how some types are naturally inclined to follow rules and expect order, while others are inclined towards feelings and emotional appeals, other are naturally inclined to help out others ... what do you think?

  are there certain basic personality types that pre-dispose the individual to adhere to a certain type of religion ?.

  Thanks Clarity! I just had a chance to do a little searching and came across the info you posted. This info pins down the film to 1939-40, and the "Judge" would be dead a couple of years later. so he would have been at 70 in the films containing the construction work.

  The whole Beth Sarim, Beth Shan thing is really interesting to me. I don't remember any mention of their being any kind of underground tank at Beth Shan

  though. Is anyone else familiar with this? Great video, thanks again for sharing it!

  Sure glad you found that and are sharing it with us. After the picture of the little house on the hill that is labeled as being Beth Sarim, the next pictures and footage of the construction are of Beth Shan. The one picture says "goat barn" which housed the shelter would confirm that. Wonder what the big tank was for that they were burying? Possibly fuel? There was an airstrip on the propery too but I think that may have come at a later date.

  I have never seen moving pictures of Rutherford before, he did like to use the tongue didn't he. Just like it is now, when people know they are on being filmed they do strange things so for me personally I will try not to attribute the actions to being drunk. Funny they would show him drinking whatever out of the cup, seems out of place.

  MAN is a late arrival--why blame him for everything?

  by Terry in

  2. beliefs

  almost every watchtower publication we've ever seen begins in the garden of eden.

  we are told the earth was created for man.

  we are told man was given a paradise and that his disobedience introduced to the world sin and death.

  Would you pay $600 for a demonic experience

  by NewYork44M in

  1. social
  2. current

  at the very moment i signed oni saw the quote related to demonic experiences next to the $600 question about the stones.. given my desire to increase efficiency i thought it might be good to combine the topics.. i am very dissapointed that i have never had a demonic experience.

  the fact that i don't believe in demons may have impacted my lack of experience.

  however, i would never spend $600 to seen any group or person - even if they were naked.. so, how about you?.

  Who would I be paying the $600 to? If it was sitting in escrow, absolutely. I have no doubt I would get my money back. But to be honest, I would really like to have the experience and would gladly pay the $600

  The Only True Doctor – A Parable

  by goatshapeddemon in

  a friend of mine recently found out a few years back that she had an aggressive form of breast cancer.

  she went to many doctors, but all of them told her she had to have a mastectomy and undergo radiation therapy.

  that seemed really unappealing to her.

  The true story of the Bible regarding God's view of Genocide

  by Christ Alone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yes, i already know the atheist's anger towards god, and the attempts to erroneously state that he advocated genocide, which .

  i am ready to hear all the anger directed towards the god that these men and women state that they don't believe in.

  they might as well be angry with the fsm.

  So you pick the name Christ Alone and them start this thread like you did. And you expect to come across as not being biased?

  The original story reported by the news was that the hitchhiker tried to control the guy using the blunt end of the axe. When that didn't work he used the sharp side. They said there was a lot of blood.
