FYI to daddylonglegs- I meant no disrespect or reference to Jack by calling you "daddy"- I just meant it as an abbreviation- guess I was too lazy to write out your full name.

Thanks, "pequagirl". I didn't take it that way- figured you didn't feel like typing it out.

==================================================================== Hello dear, Ok Two things.... One) my attempt at humor Two) my questioning someone who might be in a leadership postition
Hello to everyone, I have been quietly following this thread for a good long while and figured I'd finally post.
About me: I am an outsider to this group but share a heavy concern in that my in-laws have been with the group seemingly from its inception, and they have children within the group whom I always worry about.
My question to those on the boards, and even the moderator: seeing with my own eyes the division it causes within a family, is it ever worth confronting relatives about this "religion" with an open and honest debate? is it just a pipe-dream to ever expect anything open and honest from them?
as for those of you on the board who are past/present members, I definitely feel the distinction that there are "old-schoolers" as well as "new schoolers"... that said, could someone with the proper knowledge help me to outline what my family members and this group even believes in anymore? (i.e. they seem to sway on all fronts regarding attitudes towards Jesus, vegetarianism, living on LI, etc. etc.)
last, is it possible to help some of the outsiders following this board (I know quite a few who do) fill in the blanks by putting together something of a rough time-line? I know this sounds like alot, but I would like to compare notes, in regards to things like:
when abba died, or what time period the alleged sexual assaults occurred, what year did abba return from hiding, or when they all decided to move to Maine (sometime just after 9/11 for my family if I remember correctly)
thanks for any help, and thank all of you for the continued discussion on this board, it truly seems to be the only remedy for such a group
