Perhaps there is no "true self" and self actualization is just a grandiose myth. A lofty goal that no one can ever really reach. We all make ourselves in to what we wish to be, what we wish to be though is influenced by many different factors. Many of which we have little control over. Instead of thinking in terms of "finding yourself" or "becoming who you are," it is better to explore what makes you happy and satisfied with life.

How To Become Who You Are
by Brokeback Watchtower inbeing a jehovah's witness for many years has a very damaging effect on becoming who he really are, many of the drives we were born with get subverted to corporation's directives, and we stuff lots of ourselves into our shadow(jungian), as we take on the "new personality" we become an easy to manipulate corporate drone.
in other words we really loose contact with authentic self, and to some extent a little hollow.. a search for our true self will require some alone time and can be scary and filled with some perils.
i did it for some time and it can make you a little odd, and you could wind up doing some crazy shit but over all i will say it was necessary and eventually rewarding, and i gotten quite used to it and now a days i have people around but value my time alone when every i can get it.. anyway this video interest me and i thought i would share.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfyczlbcavk.

Except one is a sitting president and the other is just a lawyer. Clinton lied under oath and continued on to complete his presidency. I'm not saying he isn't guilty, just that it won't be easy to impeach him.

Not sure this is enough in itself but if Cohen is going to make a deal then he may have some more evidence.

Is Satan real and all this powerful?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwikipedia article on jehovah's witnesses:satanjehovah's witnesses believe that satan was originally a perfect angel who developed feelings of self-importance and craved worship.
satan influenced adam and eve to disobey god, and humanity subsequently became participants in a challenge involving the competing claims of jehovah and satan to universal sovereignty.
other angels who sided with satan became demons.jehovah's witnesses teach that satan and his demons were cast down to earth from heaven after october 1, 1914, at which point the end times began.

If God is almighty then Satan is just the duality of God, another side of the same coin.

It would have been leaked to the media by now just like the audio tape about Cohen paying for a NDA. If they had something big like that I don't think they would sit on it for very long.

If they get him it will be on obstruction of justice or some campaign finance laws. The Russian collusion thing seems to be a non-story. If there was hard evidence on that front it would have been found in Cohen's seized documents. I do believe they will be leaking something to the media before the November election but it won't be about Russia.

If doubt he'd be impeached if Republicans hold the majority in congress, if not then he may very well resign like Nixon.

conventions 2019?
by zeb ini s aw mention of conv for 2019 already planned.. i wonder what message my wife will return with from the 2018 convention..

The 2019 theme is "Love Never Fails," I'm guessing most of it will be about how "there is no other place" with love like the JWs. Love motivates us to preach, love motivates us urge others "to return to Jehovah," reporting others to the the Elders is showing love for them, etc. The theme doesn't really matter it is always the same stuff.

The bridge
by truthwillsetyoufree inso my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.
there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.
apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

I can't imagine they let you put up a cart in San Francisco bridge.
You certainly can walk all the way across or bike as well. It would be hard to commit suicide though, they have netting underneath the bridge that would catch you before you fell too far.
