What can happen with lost birth certificate?

by kls in

my son's are back from mexico and had a great time except for the huge lay over in texas flight to chicago because of the storms and tornados there, anyway my son lost his birth certificate in mexico and i am worried that someone could use it or should i not worrie because it is a different country.

is this something that could happen with identity theft?

it's not like i can call the courthouse and cancel it.

I think if you were to call the courthouse in the city that your son was born, they could issue a new one. I think it is the registrar of Vital Records. When you call, they will tell you what documents you need.Maybe a notation would be made that the old one was lost. They I think would be able to guide you at least and be able to answer some of your questions.

I only wish someone would take my Birth Cert. They would be more than welcome to take over my life!-And have all the excess baggage too!-LOL

Just thought I'd introduce myself, finally!

by TrailBlazer04 in

i was never "in" the wts, but my husband's x-wife and children are jw.

he never was...it's a long story, but between the "religion" and other stuff, she's managed to inflict so much damage and pain on him that at one point he was suicidal...so much for "christian love", ya know?.

looking forward to talking more, if that's ok with everybody!.

WELCOME TRAILBLAZER!

If I had a million dollars or 2

sometimes i just wish i could come into several million dollars, i would do so much good with it.

i would start up a college scholarship for those who were raised jw and never had the chance to go.

i would help out silentlambs.

ohiocowboy

First, I would open an Animal shelter, then I would help family and friends pay bills off. I do not think that I would waste any money on the org, even if it were to bring it down, as I feel that one day it will come crashing down anyways, even without anyones help. I would invest some, pay off the house, and have one heck of a party!!!

here is how it works -- i will start -- i am going to give a line from a film -- the person who replies has to guess the film and then they have to give a new line from any film they choose - and the next person has to guess that film and then they post a line i will start.

Jerry Macguire?

If right,

Why can't you give me the respect that I'm entitled to? Why can't you treat me like I would be treated by any stranger?!!

Because I'm not one of your FANS!!!

Which movie is this???

Hint=No more wire hangers!

This site has been the most incredible help to me-UNTIL TODAY

by ohiocowboy in

reading through some of the recent posts, ie; the topic of lazarus and the gay issue, i was flabbergasted at what i was reading.

i can't believe-well maybe i can, that some people on this site are calling gay people "faggots", and telling that person that they are going to get "what sodom and gomorrah got".. this site has been a godsend to me, and have been telling my friends how nice it is to be in with a group of people who can relate to my life, my feelings, my insecurities, and my fears relating to the org.

and not being a part of it anymore.

ohiocowboy

Hello! Sorry I vented, got caught quite off guard! I realize that I should not let one person stop me from being part of the group. It has been really nice being here....And hope to be a fun, caring, and supportive member as I am realizing most of you are-Thanks soooooooo much!!!

This site has been a godsend to me, and have been telling my friends how nice it is to be in with a group of people who can relate to my life, my feelings, my insecurities, and my fears relating to the org. and not being a part of it anymore. Over the years, it has been so hard to relate to anybody about this situation, as people cannot really understand what it is like until you have been in that position. That is what I liked about this website, I was finally feeling that I was able to be myself, knowing that the things I was saying, and the other post that I was reading, others could relate to. That felt so great, I have been on such a "High" being here, at times it is hard not to spend hours and hours on this site. It has been nice to have the option of coming here at times when I have felt scared, or depressed and be able to read the posts by others in the same situation. Even times when I felt happy, and going to some of the fun game posts and word association threads I felt I could let loose with some fun.

Everybody has a right to their own opinion, but to blatantly be mean and use "Faggot", and denoting that they are going to get what Sodom and Gomorrah got is too much! I can laugh with the best if someone that I know jokes around and calls me "Queer" "Flamer", or some other connotation to my life, but to be plain mean is a different story.

I have had to deal with bullies and nasty backstabbers all of my life, I thought I would not have to face that prejudice here. Thanks for ruining something I was beginning to cherish. So much for self-esteem! Thanks!!!

Sincerely,

Another Faggot awaiting what Sodom and Gomorrah got
