Stupid mom.

as a few of you know, i have a bit of money in my name.

however, here's the caveat: my bleeping dub mother is in charge of it.

i kept on telling my stupid dub mom to pull out my money while i can still buy a house and a car and forget that the girlfriend chasing, abusive, borderline personality disorder suffering bitch that's known as my mom ever existed.

Yes, Rob, I know you are fair either way.

PS, you can lindy-hop? Sweet!!!

I wonder how many people would be saying the same thing if it were a woman venting about her abusive elder Dad, if she called her dad a dick? If he were holding a trust, will from grandparents, etc over her head? Some moms are abusive. Unfortunately, we place such a premium on motherhood in this society ( we should) that we project that any neg. projected their way is mean, disrespectful, etc. ( we should'nt)

My girlfriend needs to have a job as a nurse

my girlfriend is from germany, she moved here in the usa 2 years ago, she did work in the nursing home not for very long because she does not have working papers here in the usa.

she has a nursing college degree from germany.

she currently works at the animal hospital.

Get work in a group home, or as a private nurse for seniors. Get a cna or cma so she can dispense meds, etc. (in a group home those are unnecessary, but her experience would get her the job)

As I stated before the Great Tribulation is picking up speed!!!!!!!!!!

by unbaptized in

when i think about the biblical tale of noah!

i think of the time we are living in today and how it resembles noah's time.

no one's really paying attention.

avishai

Wait....I thought it was peace and security? Oh, yeah, no, it's war, pestilence etc...Oh, wait, you mean it's both so they conveniently have all bases covered for any bad stuff (or lack of) that comes down the pike? Wow, never woulda thunk it...

VOTE YOUR "SILVER BULLET" QUESTION

by V in

i'm quizzing all my sources for the ultimate "silver-bullet" question for a jw at your door.

the best questions will be used in a video series on watchtower comments.

the goal is to help people respond to jws.. the question must be direct and designed to open the jw mind, not necessarily to win an argument.. i would prefer to avoid doctrinal debate such as trinity, cross, even thiest/athiest subjects.

avishai

Ask them how they feel apostates are to be treated....then.. Ask them if they know the parable of the Good Samaritan. Ask if they understand why the Jews and Samaritans hated each other so much. Chances are they won't. The parable is so powerful, not because the Samaritan was a "non-jew" or vice versa. That would'nt have been a problem, either Jew or Samaritan would've likely helped a Pagan. No, they are both sects of Judaism, who violently viewed one another as, get this.........APOSTATES!!!

Euthanasia?

anyone against euthanasia if you are sick with a terminal disease and you don't wish to die a protracted death?.

i have thought about this a lot since a coworker's grandfather here in the u.s., dying painfully of cancer, drove around and saw his relatives one final time and then killed himself.

they found him in a car by the side of the road.

Bullshit. Ever see johnny got his gun? Ever been in a quadriplegic ward?

I think if you want to ban it, etc., fine, but go spend the day with hospice, in a cancer ward, etc. first. Then decide. When it was on the ballot in OR, i asked everyone who was against it if they'd ever had to take care of a terminal patient, to a one they said no.
