I looked it up, Shirley, and you are correct. Sunday July 20, 1969 at 10:56 PM EST, Armstrong stepped on the moon. That may explain why I have no distinct memory of it. I was probably in bed.

Not at all off topic. I remember watching lunar landing news during school. Everyone assembled in the gym. That can't be an Apollo 11 memory as school was not in session during July.

Buzz Aldrin and Neal Armstrong landed on the moon and fulfilled JFK's ambitious goal. I've watched some of the programming about the event. I think the best was on PBS's "The American Experience." Parts of it gave me goosebumps.
I'm not sure if I have any actual memories of the day. I don't know where I was at or if I actually saw it on TV. I was 7 years old so I'd think I would remember something about the day. Does anyone on the board remember the event? What were JW's saying about it? Did they tie it into some whacky end-time prediction?
Here are a couple videos. This one is a short animation from Google's home page narrated by Mike Collins who was the third astronaut. He stayed in orbit:

This one is the actual decent. I found it nerve wracking (kind of silly given how I know how it turns out) with all the chatter about alarms and running out of fuel. It's about 20 minutes long:

The worst thing about Jehovah's Witnesses, as an organization, is that it has resulted in millions of people who have ignored their own God given potential so they could focus on a fairy tale where they end up living forever in Paradise playing with their very own pet lion. It breaks a heart seeing people I've known my entire life reach old age and have to continue working some menial job because they have little or nothing set aside for their inevitable golden years because they failed to acknowledge, much less plan for, that outcome. I'd like to think that every young person starting down the path of JW.org disappointment would look at the elderly generation of the faithful and ask themselves, "Is that really all I want out of life?"

Do you know the reason why certain peoples in the USA are pro-illegal immigration?
by I believe in overlapping inkatie hopkins was a columnist for british national newspapers.
she is warning the united states to stop the illegal migrations before it turns into her home in london.
she is having to flee her home country london because of the culture and social change immigrants have made in her county.

Is New Zealand right to ban military style guns?
by ThomasCovenant inin response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.
would they be better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.
would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.

Maybe New Zealand should ban Australians. That may be a bit harsh. New Zealand should ban Australian males aged 18-35.
Kidding aside, I spent quite a bit of time in New Zealand when I was younger, mostly on the South Island, and had many good times with my Kiwi friends. The news out of Christchurch hit me hard. Christchurch is a wonderful city.
New Zealand will do what is right for New Zealand.

Qualifying For A Kingdom Hall Funeral
by minimus inone of the most despicable things i can remember is having the elders determining whether or not you “qualified” for proper funeral services in a kingdom hall and if the talk could be given by an elder.
people are hurting terribly and the family is then told, even though the deceased was a member of the congregation, they still weren’t good enough to qualify for proper burial services per the congregation!

Do JW's actually have real funerals? I've been to some services, but they have been memorial services. I don't remember ever seeing a casket inside a Hall. Is bringing a casket inside against the rules? How about urns?
When my Grandmother passed, her service wasn't allowed in the hall as she had never been dedicated. I guess that reason is a little understandable. She was a much loved part of the local congregation though. What I found irritating about the sermon...I mean talk...was when the elder explained to the gathered the reason the service wasn't held at the hall. WTF did that have to do with anything?
I don't know why my Grandmother didn't get baptized. Personally I think it was a great move to decline that calling. What I do know is my Grandmother had more Grace in the tip of her little finger than most dedicated JW's have in their entire being.
RIP Grandma. Twenty plus years on, you are missed by many.
