"The church group[RussianJWs]says it already has waited too long"
by sf inthis is the statement that is the article englishman brought up in his thread on the ban in russia:burns said that both parties to the case, the jehovah's witnesses and russian officials, have petitioned the court to hear oral arguments promptly.
the church group says it already has waited too long.
just what would the wtbts governing body of jehovah's witnesses say to anyone of their flock if they dared uttered the exact same statement when it pertains to waiting on jehovah?.

Isn't surprised anymore at anything the borg says or their stupidity with their contradictory views and false utterings.
PS I do agree though, it is a beauty of a comment, a ruddy classic, aye, to be sure.

Hey up mate, I can empathise completely with how you feel about this after being through something similar. My ex wife told me several months after leaving me that she had only married me to have a baby by me and it was always her every intention from the very start to leave me as soon as our son was born, she was just surprised at herself that she had left it until Ashton was 14 months old. Ruddy great. Now I wonder why we had troubles in our relationship if that was her attitude. Streuth.
Where they seem to get mixed up in this is that they believe chi;ldren are something to do with ownership rather than a gift which ought to be shared by both parents.
I too recently asked my ex if I could take my son, who is now 10 on holiday abroad as this is what he asked me. She categorically put her foot down and said no without even weighing up the pros and cons or being willing to even have a conversation about it. I too am having to consider at present taking this back to court but am loathe to do so as ultimately this is not in the childs best interests.
Similarly, with contact visits when my son was younger. I would drive often 820 mile round trips to a place and at a time designated by the court for me to pick my son up. You can guarantee that 7 in every 10 journeys were a complete waste of time with her accusing me as being the one that had not turned up. Unknown to her, I was obviously picking up a petrol receipt at Tescos at a branch in Suffolk which stated plainly enough that I was there on the day and at the time specified.
At least these days I do have unlimited access to my son whenever I want it, but given the struggle it took to gain this, out of choice, not wishing to disrupt his new family life I only see him on average 3 times a year. To get this far meant appearing in court no less than 30 times, in the end representing myself in the highest family court in the land. By this point she had been in comtempt of court so many times, I and the Judges practically lost count. This was to be her undoing in the end as one Judge threatened to put her in prison for blatantly disobeying court orders and wasting everyones time. I remember well her standing up to the Judge, shouting at him that he could not do such a thing and stamping her foot, something I'll never ever forget. The Judge hammered down his gavel and told her if she did not sit down immediately and behave herself she would be sent down straightaway. That seemed at last to shut her up.
Fathers do seem to get a rough ride throughout this entire process involving their children and access rights. You can fully understand the seething anger at the justice system in the UK by fathers who feel they have badly been let down by the system. Most fathers too most likely only wish for the interests of the child to be put first, rather than this absolutely absurd practice which allows mothers to look after their own interests first without considering the childs interests and the importance of a balanced relationship with BOTH parents. One such campaign group in the UK is Fathers for Justice, which you may have heard of. Not nessarsarily agreeing with the way they go about campaigning, you can certainly understand why they do so, and they come from every conceivable background possible crossing all boundaries of employment.
Its the powerlessness that gets to me, that they can get away with so much, never will I be able to capture the relationship with my son that I always wanted. I have not seen him grow as a child. I had better leave it there too, before I too get too upset.
My thoughts and kindest regards are with you and the family during this turbulent time.
It's all so needless and blatantly pointless. Why cannot some mothers see that?
Best wishes to you!!
PM me if you need to.

Would you marry not for love but for a visa?
by Atilla ina friend of mine was approached by a asian family living here in the u.s. that wants to get a family member, a 18 year girl living in the south east asia region here to america.
they want my friend to get married to this girl for a year or two so she can eventually become an american citizen.
the family living here has offered to pay for all expenses; my friends air ticket over there and back along with any other expenses incurred plus a lump sum payment upon her successful immigration here to the u.s. my friend is maybe considering it but he hasn't even seen a picture of the girl yet and he is somewhat older(about 9 year difference) than the girl.. now if they fall in love or consemate the relationship, that's totally up in the air and i guess open to bargaining and my friend would totally be free to get a divorce once the girl gets to the u.s. i did ask some of my friends what they thought, and everyone pretty much said no.

Celtic tells a Story and a Poem, but first puzzles on life, Enjoy!!
by Celtic inmy mind sometimes feels like a gyroscope.. is all life geometry, the celt puzzles over for the umpteenth time?.
the celt floats and stares at the whirling mass that is planet earth from a far off place and wonders why his soul chose that place to call home, that planet of so much absurdity whirling round the nearest star the sun, he looks up and beyond to a far off place and dreams once more aloud, whilst thinking softly.. celtic thinks at this time a bedtime story for many of you will have the potential to cause you some healing in your lives and urges you to read this post from 2001 your time.
please read it and enjoy this as a gift from others who wish to help you through your troubled lives, here it is: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/15469/1.ashx it is called, the day out - a metaphor.. and then celtic reads you a poem which can be found here which he conjured from another far off place: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/11005/1.ashx.

If she were Canadian I'd consider a lass for a visa, if it were for an American lass, I'd have to think more seriously about it. But damn your countries visas are very attractive, just a shame Canadian women are'nt as decent looking as American gals. Canadian women too can be hellishly cranky, American women just have the most awful accents. Thats my view.

Who actually did the disfellowshipping?
by barbar in.
when i was disfellowshipped, i was really looking for a way out, although i did not want to be disfellowshipped, it was easier than making the break on my own.. i appreciate that many are distraught when they get df'd, but was the actual meeting controlled by the elders or you?.
how many were really in control of the meeting and knew that being disfellowshipped was actually a way of ensuring that you would get no more hassle from the elders?

Ok yes I engineered the meeting the JC to some extent, a/ I knew the witness upbringing was the root of so much personal dysfunctionality and b/ I could not stand the guts and vice versa of one of the elders on the committee who did everything in his power to make sure my marriage was finished without knowing all the facts. Cheers to Simon Hildred who I hear is now living in/near Wadebridge, one day mate, I will catch up with you.
