my uber cousin and wife are going back to wallkill this weekend for the annual meeting since they have a daughter and son in law in the inner sanctum so they are always invited.

cousin said it was going to be broadcast from patterson to wallkill.

anyone hear anything else about subject matter etc?.

Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?

after all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.

for me it is a day of reflection..

I live less that 20 miles from ground zero.

No, we have not forgotten.

The impact and consequences of being born into the jehovahs witness cult.

hi from new south wales australia.

fyi , it's tuesday 10th september 2:36am here.. i am categorically not going to blame the cult for every poor choice.

i am conscious of the fact that i was at a genetically determined disadvantage academically; i was never going to be outstanding in my achievements, no matter how hard i tried.

Same here, I read a lot - fiction, science, everything ... looking back I think it was driven by a certain amount of escapism

Me too SIMON. Since I was completely discouraged to do well in school, even think of having a career, I found refuge in reading a lot, and playing games with my middle/high school friends (often without my mom knowing).

We played things like D&D (struggle to keep that a secret), and Traveler. Role Playing Games were big for me.

Thinking on my past, especially as a kid (father unbelieving so I had an out, but I sided with mom), and the different path I could have taking.

Extremely depressing.

i'm a postman so i get 4 to 5 hours every day with my headphones on and i'm really chewing through some stuff.

i'm after science (evolutionary biology and anthropology especially), history of religion and comedy.

old sci-fi audio books are also a favourite.

Sam Harris - Making Sense

Amazingly Informative and interesting.

Great listening to really smart people talking about important topics.
