  DATELINE May Be Pre-Empted or Rescheduled!

  by Mister Biggs in

  1. social
  2. current

  there will be an nba playoff game on nbc at 9:00 pm est.. this means that dateline will either be pre-empted or shown at 8:00 pm est.. according to my tv guide that i received in the mail yesterday, it is scheduled to come on at 10:00 pm est.. that would mean that it will be pre-empted.. however, tvguide.com shows dateline being scheduled to air at 8:00 pm est.. that would mean that it would air as scheduled.. so, since friday's (may 24) dateline will be the last show until tuesday (sunday's is pre-empted) they should announce at the end of the show what will be coming up for tuesday the 28th.. let's keep an eye on this.. the only thing definite is that it will not air at 10:00 pm est (for all you vcr-heads) on may 28.. my apologies, of course, if someone has already addressed this.

  :o)

  OK I'm going to ask a STUPID question. What does pre-empted mean? and I live in CA so what time will it show? Just give it to me straight.

  last night my sister-in-law asked my kids why they haven't been attending meetings.

  she cornered them individually.

  she asked my son and he said no he has not been attending meetings and that he has been doing some research and that he didn't believe it was the truth.

  My kids are 13 and 17. I told them just to remember that she is brainwashed, just as we once were. Just be glad we're not anymore.

  here's what i'm hearing:.

  the dateline show is beating a dead horse brought up by malcontents.. it brings up a dead issue because the society is sending out.

  letters in child abuse cases to go to the police - in individual.

  OK so maybe there won't be a mass exodus, but even if only a few see the light and get out it would be worth it. Also think of all the non-JW people that will watch, they will think twice about studying with them. It will hurt the list of possible converts.

She said you've been reading apostate literature, he tried to tell her no that wasn't the case, she said well I won't be inviting you to anymore gatherings with the friends.

  Then she asked my daughter (my daughter is not even baptised) if she was attending meetings she said no and she said the same thing about not inviting her places and that she hated to loose a niece. What a terrible thing to say to a kid.

  Jr Ex JW's

  my daughter is interested in posting on here, but there doesn't seem to be any other pint sized exjw's around.

  anyone out there have kids that would like to post with her or possibly be pen pals?.

  she is 7 years old but is at a 3rd grade reading and comprehension level so any kids up to 10 or so might like to correspond with her...... anyway just a thought...

  I believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. I believe that you are saved by grace through your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Not by belonging to any certain organization. If you truly believe in Jesus, you will live your life according to bible principles this shows you have faith and this in and of itself is your works.

  elder concerned and elder faithful came by last night, to address some of my concerns/statements as to why i haven't been at the meetings.

  we talked for and hour and a half.

  i told them i didn't believe that it was god's spirit directed organization, i said i didn't believe that only 144,000 were going to heaven, i told them one did not have to be a jw to get saved, and they still want to come back and talk to me again.

Wouldn't you think that would be enough to get them to let you leave?

  Anyway it reminded me of the song Hotel California (great song) where it says "you can check out anytime you like, but you can't never leave". I'm beginning to think it's like the Mafia, they won't let you just go.

  "Most Holidays can be traced to Hallmark Cards"

  So true!

  HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MOTHERS!!!!!!!!!

  We do deserve it. My mom is dead, but she was a great mom. She always put her kids first, even if it meant sacrfice for herself. I'm sure that is why I feel the same way about my kids. What is wrong with taking some praise for all your year-round hard work. Yes I work hard for my kids, sometimes my husband gets jealous of them. He has said you love them more than me! You know what I tell him....Your right, I do love them more than you and never forget it. My husband can be replaced (though I would definitely miss him) but my kids could never be replaced. I would expect the same feelings from my husband for my kids and it does not bother me, or incite me to jealosy.

  You know what is funny. I never wanted kids. I was devastated when I found out I was pregnant with my first. I prayed to God I would loose it. I was so miserable the whole pregnancy. I just knew this was going to ruin my life. I just didn't know what I was in for. I can honestly say the moment I first held him in my arms...It was truly love at first sight. The feeling was indescribable. And so I became a mom....and I thank God for unanswered prayers (lol isn't there a song that says that)
