What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?

by ILoveTTATT2 in

i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.

i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.

however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?

Randy Watters website FREEMINDS was the first website that I found. Being an exBethelite, I found his stories compelling and rang true with my own experience at Bethel. Wish he was still keeping that site current.

My maternal grandfather Ralph who died when I was just a young boy. He was the only real father figure that I had. My own father was a complete asshole. I love you Grampy and I always will.

Burt Reynolds - Dead at Age 82 - Rest in Peace

by flipper in

hadn't seen a thread started on this so i thought i'd start a tribute thread to one of the great actors / entertainers over the years we've enjoyed watching.

he had a wicked, dry sense of humor, especially on the johnny carson show, great acting in deliverance, so if anybody would like to share stories, you tube snippets of talk show appearances, or pieces from movies- feel free to do so !

rest in peace burt, you brought us some really cool entertainment, thanks for the memories.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

will you avoid nike or tend to not buy apparel because of their support of colin kap?

would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?

in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.
