correct me if I'm wrong deserter but if I'm following your thinking about your quote is that it may be easier for those people to leave even if they still believe they may feel they are still being "righteous" because they see other witnesses hypocrisy bible related or everyday actions and act or feel they act more truthful so that justifies their leaving because the others aren't following "theocratic order" so they have no problems not following them. and if thats not it then let's make my take on it.

People who "leave" but never LEAVE
by B_Deserter ini was talking to a friend of mine that i recently got into contact with.
we were talking about beliefs and how i don't believe in any god.
she told me she still has the same beliefs, but just doesn't like the people.

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.

well apparently I'm the only sucker here who actually went! I just went tonight because it was easier to go at this point then deal with all the drama. But at least we had it the local convention center and not the hall. Attendance? As far as I saw it has plummeted since last year, only about two-thirds full this year yay!

INDIANA posters
by dubla ini was talking on the phone about a week ago with a poster from this forum, and when he found out i was from south bend, indiana, he asked me if i had gotten together with the group of indiana posters that were having a small gathering (around bloomington i think?).
the truth is, i havent had one-on-one contact with too many from this board up till now, save some frequent chat room visitors, so i didnt realize we had an indiana following.
after my name appeared on the whos who page, i did get emails from a couple people familiar with the area, but i would like to get in contact with the rest of the indiana posters.

born and raised in bloomington. I don't know about 10th level but it's pretty hot in the summer. personally I wouldn't live anywhere else in the u.s. If your the laid back not big on fast paced city life type you'll love it too. If you need more info let me know.

I assume that its stock also? Any lift etc? With a good lift I've heard those things are pretty mean off-road, even with the IFS.
