  Inspirational eccentric
  You are happy in your own skin and totally aware that you are a little eccentric! You are curious by nature and willing to give anything a go – from pea shooting to toe wrestling! You are totally absorbed by your interests and enjoy your own company – losing yourself in your deepest thoughts is favourite pastime. You're a visionary – thinking using visual images by day, vivid dreams by night. You relish in your own individuality and the power you have to inspire others.

  Double life, anyone??

  how many of you lead double lives while growing up (especially those who grew up jw)?

  in the last few days, it seems that bothers me about my adolescence.

  i had to be one person for my mother, while still trying to be myself.

  I'm probably alone in not living a double-life. Worst I did was have a few worldly friends, which my parents knew about. I aux-pioneered in summer and did all that jazz. Still, I was treated like crap by the congregation. For some reason I was labeled as a 'bad association'. Despite seeing other kids do far worse things than I ever did, and raised to have priveledges in the congregation. Maybe it's because I only got a few hours in service each month. I dunnos. So, I've lived a fairly boring 'good-JW' life. No good music. Never been kissed. Never done the naughty. Never been drunk. Never been to a concert. Never done a lot of stuff..... *sighs*

  What is something that you consider attractive, and unattractive?

  by free2beme in

  in human sexuality, we all have things that turn us on and things that turn us off, things that attract us and things that don't.

  often people think it is all about what you see in advertising, but often it is smaller things we think less of and yet it dominates our sex drive.

  for example, in a case study we did, we found that a lot of people would immediately answer things like "eyes" or "legs" and yet as we drove deeper into their answers, we found that eyes and legs were not what attracted people.

  Major turn-ons: good personality (intelligence, and laughing at my lame jokes...)

  Major turn-offs: weight extremes (skinny or fat) to the point of it being unhealthy, oh and SMOKING.

  This just occurred to me;

  we all know that the nwt is a truly lousy version if the bible.

  when they started using the bible why did they not add their own writings.

  i know they use the wt and other books but i mean, in the lines like the mormans did.

  I got into a discussion with a JW about this EXACT same point.

  The facts are very simple: not all of the Bible books agreed to be canon were widespread, there were (then) widespread books not included in canon, the canonized books reflected the Church fathers idealogies of the time (largely a rejection of Gnosticism). This is canon used by the WTB&TS.

  I made this point, and was responded to by saying that "God didn't wait for manmade councels", and that "true Christians new the books of the Bible". I responded by pointing out that most true Christians didn't have, and some probably didn't even know about, all of the Epistles. At this point, the JW got more and more hysterical, and eventually broke down to saying that "the wheat and weeds" would make it impossible to tell the true organization. He was more and more vehement and offended as I pointed out that the Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox organizations were the only visible organization for hundreds of years, despite his insistance that there always has been a true organization to turn to.

  I don't think he ever allowed himself to realize that it was the Catholics that chose the bible as it is today, and was offended I even suggested it, despite the massive amounts of historical evidence to the contrary. In the end he changed the subject and tried to move on.

  Ok, if you're anything like me, you get copies of talks sent to you on a regular basis. Now, when asked if I listen to them, I have to him and haw, and say no. So, I tried to think up a way of breaking the monotony of listening to talks.

  Here goes:

  You'll need your favorite brand of alcohol (Beer might be a good idea, but if you want you can go with Whiskey, Tequila, etc..., just stay clear of everclear with this.... hehe...)

  Buzz level: super-exceedingly-duper-hospital-requiring high

  Take a shot when the speaker says or mentions:

• paradise earth
• this old system
• worldly people

Take 2 shots for mentions of apostate thinking or apostate.

Take 3 shots when the speaker mentions 'Waiting on Jehovah'.

Based on recent meetings, my guess is that the average person will only last through half the meeting. For extra fun video record the procedings and send them to the PO so he can see how evil you are...

DISCLAIMER: This is meant in humor only, though I might try it one day. (No, I'm not a lush, despite the efforts of half the people at my college, I've never been drunk...) Please drink responsibly, and be of legal age when drinking....

Further warning: BE VERY careful with this game when listening to a few talks, such as Beware of the Voices of Strangers, or 'Waiting on Jehovah'....
