Who's Going to the Memorial Tonight?
by daniel-p inok everyone, who has to go to the memorial tonight?
check in here, state the reason you have to go, and when you get back, let us know how it went and your impressions.
for me, i have to go for my family--since i'm doing the fade i figure it won't kill me to go.

How did you save your marriage while leaving?
by AlyMC inthe other thread (opposite in nature) is really touching and i enjoyed reading everyone's experiences.
i saw a few people who were still in share how scared they were of that outcome, so i thought positive stories of how you managed to save your marriage while leaving the organization might be nice.
so, what is your story?

1914- What's the big deal if it's the wrong date?
by cognac ini hear it a lot on this board that the 607 date is wrong... i figured that out while i was a jw... never really thought much about it though.
just thought, ok, if it's wrong then everything is moved up about 20 or so years.... and for that matter, why is it such a big deal to the society?
why can't they just fix the date so it's right.

Did anyone see 48 hours mystery last night?
by B_Deserter ini grew up in the same town as kent leppink.
my older brother actually knew him personally.
the sad thing is that what happened to kent was used by my parents (and probably other local jw's) as a cautionary tale as to what happens when you live "in the world.

Memorial at the nicest country club in the area!
by Burger Time inmy brother informed me over the weekend that in gastonia nc the memorial for their congregation is going to be held at the nicest country club in gastonia.
in fact a lot of local celebrities live there including sherry from the nationally syndicated radio show bob & sherry.
a good bit of people are upset at this, as it's out of the way and a bit hard to find.

funny kid stories
by JeffT inour office manager and i are always swapping funny kids stories - about her boys, a 5 year old and one born in september, and my granddaughter.
so a few days ago the 5 year old walked up to her and asked in a very calm voice "mommy is motherf***er a bad word?".
when relating this one my daughter, who teaches preschool said that one of her four year olds, while heading for the car to go home suddenly said (also very calmly) "oh goddamn it i left my book in class.
