    Did being a Witness bring out any hidden talents in you.

    I didn't know I could kick a door that hard on the way out. They revealed my door kicking talent.

    Yep, public speaking was good. I went on to teach at a college, and talking for an hour at a time was easy for me.

    I held my breath all my life...that's the only reason I can think of for my years of rectal cranial inversion.

    Most dubs still suffer from this affliction.

    No, but leaving did. I finally had the time to start discovering them! artloveralias

    But, I should give credit where credit is due. The TMS and "speech" counseling actually helped with much of the presentation and public speaking I've done. After taking a college speech class, I realized how similiar the training is.

    Not a hidden talent though, a learned skill that people can learn to become good at in a variety of ways.

    I have been trying to think of something.. maybe patience with other people, kindness and caring..

    The thing is those qualities are ones that they tell us a Christian should possess.. Most of us can complain about a lack of love we experienced, but just because that we experienced that, isn't that we were taught to be that way (SHUNNING NOT INCLUDED IN THAT STATEMENT AND IS ANOTHER STORY).. but we were taught to be good people and love our neighbors. I really did try to be that way.. and despite the fact that my 'so called friends' treated me badly when I left.. that wasn't who I am and if the shoe had been on the other foot, I wouldn't have done that.
