cult personality type?
by Mysterious inanother thing that has been intriguing me lately is the idea that cults can help sway people towards a certain personality type more towards a judging personality for example, or becoming more feeling rather than thinking.
i know my meyers-briggs type changed from istj when i was a jw to intj after i left.
i was curious if anyone else was aware of a similar shift in their actual measurable personality traits..maybe putting on the new personality is literal?

Does our language betray us?
by Mysterious inhas anyone else noticed how you can tell who is new or fading, who was a long timer, who was never really into it, etc just from the way posts and language are structured?
i think it struck me when i heard someone say they did their utmost to leave the organization..do your utmost..not a common expression in most people's worlds so it still twigged a jw connection.
reading steve hassan's book on mind control reminded me of just how important language is in cult group membership.

YouTube JWs and blood
by Mysterious inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbw_nkodfgy&nr.
i couldn't believe some of the comments people were making on the video page!.
respect for blood is essential for civilization, as well as pleasing god who owns all blood.

How did you tie your tie?
by Mysterious inwas there a knot pecking order at your hall, or was this not the case.
(pardon the pun) http://www.tie-a-tie.net/ ugh and if anyone has more coherent directions for tying a windsor knot i'm all ears my piddly little fudged knot is the laughing stock of work.

Laptop Advice
by Mysterious ini was hoping to get some feedback from those of you that have laptops.
i know what i need primarily in terms of system specs so i am more interested in feedback regarding brands.
if you have a laptop i would be interested to know the brand, whether you bought it new or used, how long the warranty was, if you had any issues with it during or after the warranty (and whether these resulted in you having to take it in or send it away for repairs), if you would buy it again, if you recommend the brand on the whole.. i am currently leaning towards toshiba having met a few people that had bad experiences with dell.

Explanations for Demon Possession
by Mysterious ini had an interesting tme in class watching a video on dissociative identity disorder (did - it used to be referred to as multiple personality disorder mpd).
the woman's entire demeanor changed including how she spoke, how she carried herself, even her handwriting.
i could see how jws would easily have said that the woman was possessed by demons.

Random + Fact (note: not random facts - Fluff)
by Mysterious in1. say something completely random.
the first odd or out of place thought that pops into your head, something that will make the poster reading it go what?!.
2. post a fact tangentally relating to whatever you randomly blurbed.

JWD at work/school
by Mysterious inthose of you that go on at work or school you ever feel that old fear you will get found out a jw..you know that people will see you on the site and assume you are one when you aren't?
though in my case that would be rather amusing..i am far from conservatively dressed and it would make an interesting witness tee hee.
