This is our first year not going either. We are sitting here, sifting through coupons while watching The Voice wondering how some of these people made it on the show.

Missing the Memorial first time in 34 years
by oppostate inmy wife has left to pick someone else's bible study half an hours drive north of us to bring them to the kh 20 minutes south of us, and pick up two other people on the way.. this is the first memorial in 34 years that i won't be at the kh to "celebrate".. if i want to "remember" jesus christ sacrifice and his command to keep doing so, i'm doing so on my own terms.
not controlled by a despotic, oligarchical gobo which directs most attending folks to be there but to "skip" the very thing jesus command explicitly mentions to do.
i'm also convinced that it doesn't have to be exactly on the same lunar month evening as the jewish passover, but that "whenever" it is commemorated by someone, with faith in christ, and belief in his promises it would be best to do it not for show or for the sake of appearances but sincerely out of one's feeling of "communion".. if you are a christian believer are you going to the memorial this year?

Go bags?
by punkofnice ini heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.

Yea the go-bag thing is quite a few years old. The wife and I made one for the each of us, slowly putting things in it. We even made sure to put a little silver bible in it cause when the big A strikes, you may want to read the passage of how Big J killed kids with a bear for making fun of a bald man.
Edit: I don't remember J attacking false religion yet? So why has Satan turned his attention to "J's" people? Isn't their chronological order a bit off?

@ djeggnog
It's understandable that you want to celebrate your black mass but why is it that you talk as a collective and express yourself like you're better than everyone else for celebrating it?
I think the best part of not being a JW anymore is you lose that superiority complex and Borg collective mentality.

We don't know what we will be doing. Probably I'll come home from work, make a yummy dinner for my prego wife and watch a few episodes of Buffy while I fall in and out of sleep on the couch.

When Jesus said "Keep doing this in remembrance of me.", wasn't it in a room full of guys who ate the bread and drunk the wine? A Watcher, how are you following the command by passing it to someone else in effect saying "No!" to your supposed Lord and Savior?

Thanks toes that's what I'm going to do. They are paying me a stupid amount for consulting anyways so it's a win-win. The new job is too good to lose anyways and the guy I'm training at the old shop is smart as a whip so he'll pick it up quick I'm sure.

Thanks for the link Introvert 2! Yes I ran two Fanuc wire edm machines for over 15 years. Just got bored with wire and surface grinding so this new place is letting me learn cnc mill and their Mitsubishi wire edm as well as mastercam. Eventually they will be getting a more heavy duty 5 axis mill when the time is right. Milling is such a blast and with my background in grinding I know where and when to leave grind stock.
You say heat treat experience? Milling heat treated steel?

Yea I will be working part time for the other company as a consultant and training a guy to run the wire machines until they have a permanent person available.
They are paying me the "I don't want to do this" price for the time being.

Yea it all became clear today after a life breath session. I'm sticking with the new job. Mastercam and two cnc 3axis mills and more wire experience. Plus the opportunity to be foreman. More money doesn't fix anything especially if it leads to unhappiness again.
Thanks for the replies and advise.
