  they may find comfort in reading things from other INTJs (it's nice to know that there are other people that can relate to how you think) which, again, makes them more likely to participate in personality test threads on forums, since that's the surest way to find an INTJ talking about the quirks of being an INTJ

  Lol, do you even know how the mind of an INTJ works?

  Your logic is not flawed, but it does not describe INTJ behavior. I'll give you a quick look into the core of an INTJ: Thinking or acting based on what another personality type says or thinks is the complete OPPOSITE of what an INTJ is all about. The INTJ will automatically REJECT information that is solely backed by position, steryotype, or lables. The INTJ will ruthlessly question everyone, and everything, even themselves.

  And this is why I said that most who come here and say they are INTJ are likely to be another type, just influenced by others. I see A LOT of parroting what others have said, as well as exploding arguments over facts that are either unverified, or complete hearsay. The INTJ does NOT repeat things without questioning, verifying, and JUDGING the information.

  The test is a little subjective. Enviroment can effect your actions and you may spill over into another TYPE.

  I agree completely. I've seen people take these little online tests, and then take the same test on a different day and their results are completely different. The only way to be sure is to take the official Meyer Briggs test which is administered by a trained psychologist, and will usually run you upwards of $150 or so. I wouldn't be surprised if people on here who come back as INTx are really another type, their answers being influenced by personalities or general consensus of this website.

  Warehouse, your'e onto something. Remember the Star Trek Generation episode where they captured the young Borg, named him Hugh and re-programmed him to send back into the hive? Let's do it!!! Ok, who voluteers?

  I do remember that one. Except they realized he wasn't a borg anymore and decided not to send him back.

  I wish we could do it, but we'd have to have more than one person, and I think they'd have to be in the same cong, or at least circuit, for it to work.

  Frazzled/DJS,

  I was thinking along your same reasoning. The NT type has the unique ability to completely understand abstraction in its many forms. The NT type also is able to understand abstract ideas so thoroughly, that they can take an idea that is abstract and transform it into a concrete, logical solution.

  This is a nightmare for the borg because often times, they will intentionally write/talk in abstract ideas to inspire people, but without any concrete solution or reason. The NT type can take that abstract idea and apply it to people’s lives, or a congregations needs, or deconstruct it entirely, proving it has no merit. The NT type is, like you guys pointed out, the most likely to exit, or make no organizational progress, and they are the most likely to be skeptical of others, especially when emotions are involved, or when postion/power is at stake.

  Because of all of this, I’ve often thought that the NT type is really the greatest intellectual threat to the borg. Not only because they can tear their ideas down, but because if enough NT minds came together, they could destroy the entire borg from within.

  today, thanks to a brave do and my colleague elkatire 1980, we make make public the manual, guidelines for traveling overseers (tga-s), of which existence many suspected, but even in english, it wasnt available.. from its very title page, this book indicates in bold letters:.

  it should not be shown to others, nor should any portion of it be reproduced.

  note: for now, this book is only available in spanish, but we are working in translating a brief summary in english, hoping that someone from the english congregations makes it available to you soon.. http://hildeydesa.blogspot.com/2014/06/pautas-para-los-superintendentes.html.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  But sometimes I do worry that someone may miss a warning or a critical piece of information because it was shouted down prematurely.

  There's a clear line between missing critical information because of a lack thereof, and wild rampant speculation that confuses and does not inform. This thread unfortunatley has crossed that line. I saw some honest posts of people who were confused and could not discern the WTBS bashing from actual fact. I know it wasn't your intention, but it is what is happening. I have found myself doing the same thing, even inside of the borg. Sometimes people get carried away, sometimes people like to get carried away.

  Hey, where do you think we learned it? At least here we can freely express our ideas without the risk of being labelled an apostate. Oh, I almost forgot: We ARE apostates! ... lol

  This is true. At times I tend to forget the strange and symmetrical symbiosis that individuals here share with the borg. The dynamic is intriguing to say the least.

  This happens every time the WT announces a change. What results in a 20 page thread on JWD typically elicits nothing more than a shrug from your typical JW.

  Ah, you hit it on the head. And I certainly can't argue against disscussion for the sake of disscussion, or even meandering debates. But the comments in this thread in particular were so farfetched and outlandish that some were getting confused as to what was actually being changed.

  I'm sure the well-meaning intention to inform was there at the beginning, but it has become almost laughable what some have said in this thread, I mean just way out in left field.

  Lol, reading some of these posts makes me feel like I'm at a meeting listening to absurd comments . . .

  That I am as fanatical as the Watchtower? That my contact who is trying to keep me and others reading this thread is somehow being "fanatical"?

  In this case, yes to both. You, along with your contact and others in this thread, are filled with an excessive and single-minded zeal, or obsessively concerned with this idea. That makes you fanatical. Plus your contact is a JW, correct? Even more reason why this idea is susceptible to fanatisism. It was fueled by an unobjective JW who did not have all the facts.
