  I go to Court tomorrow for Sole Custody..... I'm excited but scared too!!!!

  i am writing this partly to get straight in my mind how i want to present my material tomorrow, since i am representing myself.

  but i would also love any advice that you may have to help me (other than get a lawyer.... lol... not an option unfortunately).. my ex-wife and i got separated on april 24, 2003. i spent over $12,500.00 on lawyers just to get to see my kids.

  she tried everything in the book to try to prevent me from seeing them, including lying to the police and having me thrown in jail for a night, calling children's aid on me 9 times, (all not substantiated), and most recently by trying to hire someone to beat me up.. we ended up having a settlement conference on june 22, 2004, from which twenty-nine different orders were made, including joint custody with primary residence with her, that my children were ordered to not go to the kingdom hall anymore, access times, support, not moving away, etc.

  We're not Suitable!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my husband and myself used to be witnesses, but not for quite a long while now.

  every last member of both our families are witnesses so i guess we're the proverbial black sheep, but we haven't been disfellowshiped or have me disassociated, just drifted quietly away.. my husbands grandfather, who is ninety-seven now, suffered a stroke a year ago.

  he spent several months in hospital.

  great advice from those of you about my new found chat buddy at my daughter's dancing lesson.

  but we were talking last week and my religion came up (for those of you that don't remember i am pagan).

  she took it in stride last week but i am wondering how, after a week of meetings etc she will be towards me tomorrow.

  World War 1 and 1914

  by Schizm in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  how did it just so happen that a world war took place in the very year that russell had attached so much importance to?

  i realize that he expected 1914 to see the end of the world's governments, and of course that didn't happen, but it still seems to be quite remarkable that this war happened that very year ... a war that would later be construed to be the fulfillment of jesus' prediction in matthew 24:7.. the explanation given on the e-watchman site is that satan deliberately caused the war to happen so as to mislead jehovah's witnesses into thinking they had actually seen the fulfillment of bible prophecy, in order to make them think that jesus had returned invisably.. any ideas?.

  "Friendship with the world"

  by Schizm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with god?

  whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of god.--james 4:4. .

  for you who may still believe in the the bible, how do you understand the above text?

  Blog in honour of my Stepmom

  by jgnat in

  2. friends

  myrna, my beloved stepmom, was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year.

  in typical fashion, she let us all know what was happening in her life, informed herself of the options, and calmly determined her course of treatment.

  it was a very small lump, and it looks like all of it was removed.
