Now add up the total number of point s.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality, a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right one s. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once, someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate. 

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature. 

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well, know that you aren't.

Now forward this to others, and put your score in the subject box of your email, like this:

13 May 2013 - 1 Corinthians 10: 13

Monday, May 13

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. — 1 Cor. 10:13

Jehovah’s worshippers are precious to him. Jesus made this clear when he said: “Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them goes forgotten before God. But even the hairs of your heads are all numbered. Have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:6, 7) Trusting in Jehovah and in the fulfillment of his promises can bring us comfort in times of distress. Our heavenly Father is not limited by anything or anyone and therefore has at his disposal whatever means are needed to provide comfort for those who love him. In turn, we are able to comfort fellow believers “in any sort of tribulation.” We can do so “through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God.” (2 Cor. 1:3, 4) How well this expresses Jehovah’s unmatched ability to comfort despairing ones! w11 10/15 3:3-5

12 May 2013 - Hebrews 12: 1

Sunday, May 12

Because we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, . . . let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. — Heb. 12:1

The ‘great cloud of witnesses’ were no mere spectators or bystanders, as it were, who were there only to watch the race. Rather, they were participants, like runners in a race. And they had successfully run the race and finished it. Though now deceased, they could be thought of as seasoned runners who could encourage newer runners in the race. Imagine how a contestant would feel if he knew that surrounding, or watching, him were some of the most accomplished runners. Would he not be moved to do his best or even to outdo himself? Those witnesses of old could testify that such a figurative race, no matter how strenuous, can be won. Thus, by keeping closely in mind the example of the “cloud of witnesses,” the first-century Hebrew Christians could draw courage and ‘run the race with endurance’—as can we today. w11 9/15 3:10, 11

You'll Love this Brain Transplant

In the hospital where a family member lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting room. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope.. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the BRAIN."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, "How much will a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200 for a Republican's brain."

The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to try not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the Democrat's brain so much more than a Republican's brain?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used."


SEND THIS TO A SMART Republican WHO NEEDS A LAUGH, AND TO ANY Democrat WHOM YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT!

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."
Henry Ford

Man Who Was A Catholic Priest - What An Experience

This is an experience related at an assembly:

Valdir was born in Portugal. When he was younger his family moved to

Brazil. He was 12 years old, when his father died, and a year later his

mother remarried. Valdir did not accept that someone would take the place of

his father. Conflicts arose between Valdir, his stepfather, and his mother.

After a discussion that irritated the nerves, he decided to leave home. A

short time later, the rest of the family decided to return to Portugal.

Valdir was only 13 years old when he separated from the family.

He decided to become a priest. He began his studies in a seminary and

graduated in theology and became a priest. Due to his position, they sent

him to the Vatican in Rome to work and to continue his studies there. During

that time he was sent to 80 different countries and learned to read and

write 6 different languages. He worked with Paul IV and John Paul II. Also,

he took their classes, and knew them in private. He also had lots of contact

with the Pope at present, Benedict XVI. He was highly respected in the

church and was sent to different countries to investigate and solve problems

within the church.

He has also composed religious music. At least two of these compositions

are well known all over the world and famous Brazilian priests sing these.

At least 2 million copies have been sold.

In the mid-90's, he was sent to Sao Paulo in Brazil. A short time later

he was going to be consecrated (named as bishop). But in that time he

started to feel disappointed by the abuse of power and the partiality that

existed within the church; for that reason he decided to demit his position.

A year later, he received a message from the Vatican where he was informed

that he should become bishop so that he could advance to later become

archbishop and cardinal. But, he rejected it again. He was also informed

that a priest with such a high education as his could not stay in a large

city without having to take on more responsibility. He had to move to a

smaller city. He chose a city that was in a very Catholic region close to

the city of Tatui. He had the desire to do social work. (This area belongs

to the West Tatui

congregation.)

In the 80's Valdir was sent by the church for a year to the United

States. His mission was to study the more influential churches in that

country. It was then that for the first time he received information about

the Witnesses. Even though the truths he learned did not please him, he was

convinced that only the Jehovah's Witnesses fulfilled the mandate of

preaching the gospel publicly and from house to house, even though people

made fun of, repudiated, and rejected them ferociously.

After some time, he received a visit from a brother that was preaching

from house to house. The brother left him a pair of magazines. After having

read them, Valdir used them as material for his next sermon and cited the

source material. Some of those present reacted negatively, and the church's

headquarters in Sao Paulo was informed. Valdir received a reprimand but was

not intimidated, and continued to have the brothers visit him. He also

continued to read and use the magazines in his sermons.

A pioneer brother that had gone to MTS started to study with Valdir. Even

though he experienced a lot of opposition (verbal, and psychological, and

was attacked several times) he continued to study.

Valdir solicited a discharge in the church and started to frequent the

meetings. His prior friends came to be his enemies and they tried to cause

him damage. To hinder his search for a job, they started to lie about him.

They even tried to convince a person in the congregation to accuse him of

committing a crime. This person negated, and told Valdir what they were

doing.

As an unbaptized publisher, he had an average of 70 hours monthly in the

field service. In July of 2005 he expressed his desire to be baptized, but

he was advised to wait some time. In January of 2006 he was approved for

baptism at the assembly that would be held in February in the Tel assembly

locale. When he was approved for baptism (a month before the baptism) he

felt that he needed to reconcile with his family, for which he had not seen

in 31 years. He thought that a true Christian had to preach the truth to his

family.

During all the years he had contact with the consulate to renew his

permit of residency in Brazil, there was always a greeting from his family

and a telephone number so he could get in contact with them, but Valdir

never called them. Now he wanted to call his mother. But when he heard her

voice, he failed to speak and just cried and had to hang up. After a few

minutes he called her again.

This next dialogue is what happened next:

Mother: How are you, my son?

Valdir: Thanks to Jehovah, I'm doing good now.

Mother: What name have you used? You speak of Jehovah?

Valdir: Yes. I am no longer priest in the Catholic church. I am a Jehovah's

Witnesses, and I have a lot to tell you.

Mother: My son. All of the family, including me, your stepfather, and your

siblings are Jehovah's Witnesses for years now. It is because of that that

we tried to reestablish contact with you.

For a few minutes, they couldn't speak, just cry. Valdir was informed

that one of his brothers serves as an elder. His stepfather, his mother,

and one of his brothers is baptized. He still hasn't decided if he will stay

in Brazil, or move back to Portugal.

This experience was related by Georg and Mona Green, missionaries in Tel,

Brazil. They are in the same congregation as Valdir.

11 May 2013 - Colossians 1: 19

Saturday, May 11

God saw good for all fullness to dwell in [Christ]. — Col. 1:19

Christ is the key figure in the fulfilling of God’s purpose. And what is Jehovah’s purpose? It is “to reconcile again to himself all other things by making peace through the [shed] blood” of Jesus Christ. (Col. 1:20) Expressing his heartfelt gratitude for Jehovah’s provision, Paul wrote to the anointed Christians in Ephesus: “God, who is rich in mercy, . . . made us alive together with the Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses—by undeserved kindness you have been saved.” (Eph. 2:4, 5) Whether we have a heavenly hope or an earthly hope, we are deeply indebted to God for his mercy and undeserved kindness. Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we consider the extent to which Jehovah went to make it possible for mankind to enjoy peace with him. When we are confronted with situations that threaten the peaceful unity of the congregation, should not our appreciatively reflecting on God’s example move us to be peacemakers? w11 8/15 3:6, 8

10 May 2013 - Psalms 1: 1

Friday, May 10

Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones. — Ps. 1:1

Think about the first time you had a meaningful discussion with one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. What do you remember about it? Many would reply, ‘I was impressed by the fact that the Witness used the Bible to answer all my questions.’ How delighted we were to discover God’s purpose for the earth, what happens when we die, and what the future holds for our dead loved ones! As we studied further, however, we realized that the Bible does much more than answer our questions about life, death, and the future. We came to appreciate that the Bible is the most practical book in the world. Its counsel is timeless, and those who carefully follow it will lead successful and happy lives. (Ps. 1:1-3) Genuine Christians have always accepted the Bible, “not as the word of men, but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God.” — 1 Thess. 2:13 w12 1/15 1:1, 2

9 May 2013 - 1 Kings 8: 29

Thursday, May 9

[May your] eyes . . . prove to be opened toward this house night and day, toward the place of which you said, “My name will prove to be there,” to listen to the prayer with which your servant prays toward this place. — 1 Ki. 8:29

When the temple was finished and the ark of the covenant was placed in it, Solomon offered a public prayer in which he spoke the words of today’s text. Israelites and foreigners could pray toward this structure on which God’s name was called. (1 Ki. 8:30, 41-43, 60) After celebrating the temple’s inauguration, the people were “rejoicing and feeling merry of heart over all the goodness that Jehovah had performed for David his servant and for Israel.” (1 Ki. 8:65, 66) In fact, remarkable peace and prosperity marked Solomon’s 40-year reign. (1 Ki. 4:20, 21, 25) Psalm 72 reflects that and gives us insight into the blessings we will enjoy under the rule of the Greater Solomon, Jesus Christ. — Ps. 72:6-8, 16 w11 12/15 1:8, 9

8 May 2013 - Psalms 55: 16

Wednesday, May 8

To God I shall call out; and Jehovah himself will save me. — Ps. 55:16

How comforting it is to know that no matter how dire our situation is, we can call out to Jehovah with a “request for favor”! (Ps. 55:1) However, when we pray for deliverance from a troublesome situation, it is wise to examine our motives. Are we concerned exclusively with getting relief from the problem, or do we keep Jehovah and his purpose in mind? Personal suffering can easily cause us to get so caught up in our own situation that concern over spiritual matters fades into the background. When praying to God for help, let us keep our mind focused on Jehovah, the sanctification of his name, and the vindication of his sovereignty. Doing so can help us to maintain a positive outlook even if the solution that we hope for fails to materialize. The answer to our prayers may be that we need to endure the situation with God’s help. — Isa. 40:29; Phil. 4:13 w11 11/15 1:7, 9

7 May 2013 - Matthew 6: 33

Tuesday, May 7

Keep on . . . seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness. — Matt. 6:33

Note that only one pursuit comes first—Kingdom interests. (1 Cor. 7:29-31) That fundamental truth should move us to pursue our secondary activities, including recreation, in such a way that they enable us to carry out our primary activity—caring for Kingdom interests. If we do that, limited recreation can be beneficial. So we need to determine how much of our time a certain leisure activity will cost. Next, we must decide how much of our time it is worth. If pursuing a form of recreation will mean neglecting such important activities as personal Bible study, family worship, attending Christian meetings, or sharing in Kingdom preaching, it is not worth the price. (Mark 8:36) But if an occasional leisure activity energizes us to keep on pursuing Kingdom interests, we may well decide that the time we spend on that type of recreation is worthwhile. w11 10/15 1:10-12

6 May 2013 - Jeremiah 12: 1

Monday, May 6

Why is it that the way of wicked ones is what has succeeded? — Jer. 12:1

After observing what was taking place in Jerusalem and Judah, Jeremiah felt compelled to ‘complain’ about what he saw. Jeremiah knew that Jehovah is righteous. What Jehovah thereafter inspired Jeremiah to prophesy and how He fulfilled those prophetic words gave a solid answer to the prophet’s question. In harmony with divine prophecies, those who obeyed Jehovah’s direction ‘received their souls as spoil,’ whereas the prosperous wicked ones ignored the warning and perished. (Jer. 21:9) Jeremiah had told the wayward nation to return to their heavenly Father, but their badness had reached the point where God had to let Jerusalem and Judah be destroyed. That caused Jeremiah pain, though he was not at fault. Amid his afflictions, the prophet remembered God’s mercies. “We have not come to our finish,” he said. Indeed, Jehovah’s mercies are new each morning! — Lam. 3:22-24 w11 9/15 1:11, 12
