They always had problems as he was arrogant and wanted to be head of the house while she wanted to be independent. She acused him of flurting with their adopted "daughter" ...that he would be alone with her in a locked room or she would sit on his lap...that he refered to her as his "little wife" .....when asked in court if she was directly accusing him of adultery she said no. The court transcript is on the net...very interesting.

Anyone have a link?

im in bed trying to get shut eye and just cant because of this repeating question that i have in my head.

i know what the answer is to the question, but i need to hear it from the horses mouth.

so in my 30th hour of being awake i get the courage to dial 411 and call my father whos an elder that i havent spoken to for 10 years.

but in the same token when else would I have a chance for them to hopefully wake up by scaring them.

Good point...

So what's the end of the story??? What happened??? Did you call them back?

that happened in 70 ce... i guess it has 2 fulfillments.... i'm drinking a beer right now, not in the mood for this conversation... mostly i hear, bla bla bla bla bla....... he's trying to figure something out... i asked whether those scriptures had 1 or 2 fulfillments... anyone know???.

sometimes this is exhausting... .

cognac, it will all be ok!!!! Sometimes we just need to hear that right?

It's not that I was even upset... Just wanted to drink a beer, watch american idol on youtube and relax... Then I had to think...

In the early 70's my husband was removed from the pioneer list for wearing 'flared' pants. He then 'repented' got back on the list and later wore a bow tie for a #4 talk.

What did they actually just make up there own rules or something or was that in a WT???
