The first sites I visited were archival sites that had old copies of WT publications like "Millions Now Living Will Never Die," I wanted to see what was really printed vs what WT always talked about. Then I checked out the UN stuff on JW facts I liked that all their stuff was backed up with sources you could examine yourself. Then I started browsing JWRecovery just to see other peoples unfiltered opinions (which you won't get at the KH). Finally, they shut down and I made an account here.

What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?
by ILoveTTATT2 ini 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?

LOL Like they know anything about fine wine! They probably have uber eats deliver them McDonalds everyday. On a serious note though, this guy needs to get some better illustrations. This illustration and the bread one were both terribly convoluted and really didn't make a whole lot of sense.

2 Samuel 10:4
So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away.
I guess that may get me in trouble LOL

Tax question: How are illegals paid at farms, lawn care, construction, etc?
by Bad_Wolf ini was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?
a business takes in cash.
at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.

They buy or borrow a social security with a matching name. One trick is to use a social security number of a child who won't be entering the workforce until years later. The number is run and it checks out as a legal citizen, the person begins cashing checks under this false name. That is why many persons without legal status use check cashing places that don't require a photo ID.

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.

But I'm thinking that to become who you are you need to know history, you need to know your basic drives without a whole lot of moralizing about good and bad you need knowledge of your evolutionary history and the challenges all your generations faced and survived long enough to share DNA to understand some of your basic drives. I can go on and on about this. Very few people have plummeted the depths of their psyche like Nietzsche, and perhaps that is what led to him going mad at such a young age.
How can you really be in touch with all those things without experimenting with socially unacceptable behavior?

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.

Do You Think President Trump Will Be Impeached?
by minimus inwhether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.
do you think he will be impeached?

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.
