Your Thoughts, Please (Seriously)...

by AGuest in

may you all have peace!.

on occasion, dear ones post questions on the board that have a "legal" undertone.

sometimes those questions are just trying to get a sense of what questions such one should ask (perhaps of an attorney), sometimes they have to do with very ordinary events, and sometimes they really do require in-depth legal assistance/analysis.

So far Band has not been acused of not being a lawyer other than maybe some sort of snide comment.

If I were to take her advice I would run it by local lawyers first to get some more opinions

Just to be clear I'm not accusing anyone of being a fraud in anyway, and I don't know the history of other legal discussions fully on this topic, I'm just saying that people have to be sensible and take responsibility for their own choices, if they choose to accept legal advice from an anonymous source on the internet that is their own risk and in my opinion it's not sensible and they run this risk of ending up in a worse situation. Sure they can read up on and share other peoples experiences but if you are in the situation where you need legal advice you cannot rely on an internet forum to provide it and should be going to a recognized person/company to get it.

It is never going to stand up in court if you say "Well according to "party96" user of insert "random internet forum" this is the legal standing on this issue.

Sabastious

I think it is obvious that there is a huge difference between discussing an experience here, and asking a legal question or asking for legal advice and then accepting anything anyone says without question as valid and correct and basing their actions on it, even if the anonymous person that responds is stating they are a lawyer.

a clip from the british bbc/irish rte co-produced comedy show "mrs. brown's boys".

admittedly it features the mormons, but i'm sure we all can think of another barking mad bunch who fit the bill just as well.

possibly a technique to try next time your saturday morning is interrupted?.

Angharad

LOL Mrs Brown is hilarious !

The dirty phone call cracks me up every time !

onacruise - Craig Mills 1952-2011

i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

Angharad

Very sorry to hear this, condolences to Bikerchic

What do you think about beauty pageants for kids?

by journey-on in

while channel surfing the other day, i caught something on tlc called toddlers and tiaras.

i watched it!

i was appalled, but at the same time the whole social implication of such a thing fascinated me.

Angharad

It's horrible. I saw a news article about one of the mother's from this show giving her 8 year old botox injections ! It's sick.

How to dimantle a human being.

most of us posters who are here at the moment cant have failed to notice philidephia ponos got a kicking, the guy had a legitamate point, re elders and ms who are still in and who post here.

what was his crime ?

he had the temerity to lable them as hypocrites, which they are.. later on jlp brought pps previous difficultys to light, a fact most posters here were probably ignorant off.. anyway that guy got such a shafting for telling the truth about what happens here, personally i think he should be applauded, because he demonstrated courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, which should help him with dealing with his difficultys in his work place, if he can cope with the adversities he has experienced here, he will have no problems in dealing with his (secular) workplace.. i have only been here for 8 weeks, and within that short timeframe i already see the group dynamics of our time at jwn unfold, i see alliances being forged, the subtle use of language and samantics as posters here seek advantage and seniority, and want to adopt common ground, to advance themselves as leaders and spokesman, this mirrors my 13 years of being a jw, it seems to me that ex elders and servants display the same characteristics, they employed as jw,s and expect them to work here, which they do.doesnt say a lot about jwn.. anyway a young guy, still learning the ropes, gets anhilated here its not much of a recomendation to post is it, ?.

"Are we supposed to be impressed?"

LOL. I don't think so. He's deleted (again) anyway.

Champions League next season and an owner with deep pockets - I wonder what the squad will look like and how far they can go?!

All together now:

Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will (ever) hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

PROTESTS AT WATCHTOWER CONVENTIONS

by Lawrence Hughes in

friends

dear friends,.

as you may know, the watchtower society takes great pride in its district conventions.

please contact me if you can attend any of these protests.. there is no reason why every district convention in the world could not have a protest and receive media coverage to expose the watchtower society.

Angharad

Funny you should mention that...I thought of Johnny the Bethelite as well...it does seem a bit strange that if in fact Lawrence was banned from this forum, he would let him back in again.

I don't think Lawerence was ever banned. But please lets not get into labeling everyone we don't like or believe as "Johnny the Bethelite".
