Tenancy law depends on which province you live in. In BC, you send them a letter telling them to fix your appliance or you will withhold your rent. If they try to evict you, you can appeal even all the way to the courts (seriously, you can even represent yourself, just study up). If they kick you out with no notice of eviction, you can sue.

Purgatory
You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven. -

UUGGGGHHH. Woken up by a storm. A real storm, a creepy storm. A storm with wind so strong that it hears like a person's moaning when it goes through the cracks of the doors or windows. A storm in which the electrical line across the road sends sparks up into the air, though its stopped now (don't you just hate it when it does that after you call hydro?).
Wind warning forgreater Vancouver continued
Southeast 50 to 70 km/h gusting to 85 winds over southern sections of
Vancouver Island including greater Victoria and sections of Lower Mainland this morning.
This is a warning that damaging winds are imminent or occurring in
These regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated
statements.The pressure at the airport is 98.8 kPa. It's cold. And I'm kept awake. However, on the good news side: sunrise is at 6:15 whereas its 5:50 right now.
Periods of rain. Amount 20 to 30 mm. Wind southeast 50 to 70 km/h becoming light this morning. High 10.
I hope hydro gets here soon to fix that power line (though, as I said it settled down). So what's your weather like? -

England or Ireland, perhaps somwhere else in the EU. Why? Life over there is much more interesting. Plus, Canada is a country thats hard to be proud of because, mostly, we haven't done anything important and our history is the longest snooze fest in the world.

MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!
by JohnnyMarr ini just wanted to say hello to everyone.
i'm an inactive, spiritually weak witness of not so good standing who stumbled on here the other day while trying to find out what tomorrows big announcement was going to be, after being told my mother that i might wanna go to the hall on sunday to find out.
it's cool seeing so many people who have shared some of the same experiences i have in the past.

Don't even bother going to the JW memorial. Remeber Christ's words: "Take this and eat, this is my body which will be given up for you."

Everyone: Please Help Terry Schiavo!
by Slick Willie ini just posted this on another thread, but wanted to make sure everyone sees it.
btw, i had to make the decision along with my siblings to disconnect my mother from life support.
there is a point where it is better to let your loved one slip away, i think.

the faith in the world can?t regenerate nervous tissue.
Thats not true. Neural tissues can regenerate, its just a slow process and things like regular exercise make it faster (they just proved this in rats at my university). There's also a possiblity that stem cells can be used to rapidly regenerate neural tissue.
Here's what the Pontifical Academy for Life, under Juan de Dios Vial Correa and Bishop Elio Sgreccia, wrote:
The approach to the gravely ill and the dying must therefore be inspired by the respect for the life and the dignity of the person. It should pursue the aim of making proportionate treatment available but without engaging in any form of "overzealous treatment" (cf. CCC, n. 2278). One should accept the patient's wishes when it is a matter of extraordinary or risky therapy which he is not morally obliged to accept. One must always provide ordinary care (including artificial nutrition and hydration), palliative treatment, especially the proper therapy for pain, in a dialogue with the patient which keeps him informed.
At the approach of death, which appears inevitable, "it is permitted in conscience to take the decision to refuse forms of treatment that would only secure a precarious and burdensome prolongation of life" (cf. Declaration on Euthanasia, part IV) because there is a major ethical difference between "procuring death" and "permitting death": the former attitude rejects and denies life, while the latter accepts its natural conclusion.

A Pivotal Date: March 20
by ezekiel3 ini am just giggling myself inside out with the stupid antics regarding the march 20 release of the new org book.. of course, in great irony, only the apostates seem to know what's going on.. meanwhile in the congregations, a excitment tinged with mystery and suspense is tweaking the r&f.
my entire book study was just about begging the conductor for any hint.. to emphasize the surprise, congregations that meet on saturday (march 19) are actually moving their public/wt meetings to sunday just for the event.
just imagine the drool letdown when they find out the truth, that old br.

Perhaps this is the reason why I hate suprises, because they're all disappointments.
In life don't expect nothing from no one.

Get some spiders to take care of 'em. You'd need to not be afraid of spiders, though, unlike me.

Judging from his writing, he may live in the Ukraine, but he was originally from an English speaking country or spent many years studying English. Assuming he is really from the Ukraine and thats not a fake number.
Now from what I can tell, he was educated in England or a commonwealth country with a similar dialect. Actually, I think he's a psychopath. He has lots of grammatical errors, yet uses higher level words and it would seem that the errors in grammar are on purpose. It's the MO of many serial killers.
DO NOT respond.
PS. Telling from the structure of his grammar and how he conjugates some of his verbs, I'd say he was definitely educated in England.

I agree. That's why I said most. I didn't know if there are others besides the Roman Catholic Church.
OK, I'm a bit of a grammar nazi, so I assumed you meant the superlative.
The others beside the Catholic Church are: the Orthodox and I think some Anglicans and some Lutherans accept it (the Anglo-Catholics).
