Last December I posted this joyous story about the new life I made with my long lost brother (Here's a link to that Story).
So much has changed since then. For the absolute worst. He turned out to be abusive and controlling. He also took advantage of us to the tune of thousands of dollars. Things became so miserable there that we had to leave or else lose our minds. We did so suddenly and without warning while he was out of town. We felt like that was the best way to avoid a very nasty confrontation and avoid anyone getting hurt.
I am really sad and distraught. My wife decided to walk out on her job so we could leave while we had the opportunity. I know that sounds desperate. We were at our wit's end or else we would never have left like that. We didn't even leave a note.
My positive attitude took a few hits over the past year, but I want to keep trying to be positive.
The story in the link above is a really naïve one. My jumping into moving in with my brother was especially naïve as well. We didn't see his true colors until it was too late. By Christmas (not long after I had posted the story from the link above) we knew we had made a terrible mistake. But by then we had no money to leave because of having spent it all moving in with him.
He had spent over a year prior to moving in with him buttering me up and convincing us to make the move to his house. Not long after we moved in they started treating my wife like dirt and trying to drive a wedge between her and I. Like I said before, it didn't take but a couple of months for us to see our folly.
This is the second time I have embraced my family with open arms, supported them financially, and been treated like total dirt in return for my efforts. First with my parents, then with my brother. And I convinced my wife to go along with it in both cases. My poor wife has been miserable and upset because of my misguided wishes to help my family and even though she still loves me and we are very close, I still feel the sting of having been mostly responsible for her misery at the hands of my parents and brother.
I never imagined that all the time, effort, money, and love I tried to put into the helping my parents and brother would have turned out with such a bitter end.

Like it or not the jury found him innocent. I have to say I did a little happy dance when I saw the headline (because I feel justice was served). Debates like this one seem to prove the old saying true : 'Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and everyone else's stinks'.
How many of you changed your thinking because of what someone here posted? Probably not too many....To me, TM was just a troubled punk who made his bed and then layed in it after GZ sang him a lullaby...
I'd like to see media coverage of crimes against whites being sensationalized by the media. Crimes like this one that got barely any news coverage and was kept ouiet until recently:

Why didnt Jehovah give any science or technology to the jews...
by mP inive asked a few jws and other believers why god never gave technology to his people but no one has been able to answer this.
why are his people copying the pagans.
their writing system without vowels means they couldnt even write his holy name down accurately.

Re: Why didnt Jehovah give any science or technology to the jews...
Because the bible writers lived in an era where there was no science or technology, therefore, they could not include it in their work of fiction. Apparrently there were no H.G.Wells's or Isaac Asimovs among God's chosen people. Just yes men like Moses. Seems that god wanted them good and dumb, and if they started wake up and use their free will, he'd simply open the ground and swallow them up.
I mean, shit, just look at Samson for instance. One of god's own personal henchmen had to use the jaw bone of an ass to kill all those Phillistines. No bow. No arrows. No AR-15. Not even a sword (At least Al Capone gave his henchman machine guns).That's because god has a sick sense of humor. He enjoys seeing people have to suffer. He loves to see people at a disadvantage. -

I lived in New Mexico, USA, for 13 years. In that time my wife and I definitly experienced racial descrimination by the hispanics. Not every day mind you. But occasionally we would be in a Mexican restaurant and the hispanic staff would purposely delay just about every aspect of out service. Not because they were busy, We ruled that out because the times it happened to us the restaurant was slow as far as customers go. We're talking an establishment that is only serving a handful of people, yet it took 30 minutes to even ask what we wanted to drink. We left with an un mistakeable feeling of being descriminated against because we were white. Every race descriminates against other races.

...Because we can. Plain and simple. After being forced to shave all those years who can blame us right?
