i thought it had to be done on nisan 14????.

nisan 14 isn't until april 22nd.

does this have anything to do with an intercalary month being added to the jewish calendar this year or something?

so.....the court has updated binding recommendations to include the following:.

"each parent shall ensure that no other person or entity disparages, criticizes, or condemns the other parent in the children's presence, whether it is directly, indirectly, specifically or broadly stated, or articulated in any form - action, illustration or words.

each parent has an affirmative responsibility to shield the children from this sort of behavior.".

so it has been quite a while since i've last been on this site.

the jist of my story is that about 5 years ago, i started a research journey that took me 2 1/2 years to complete.

against the advice of this board, i decided to show my wife because i mistakenly thought she valued truth.

as much as it pained me.......for the benefit of my upcoming custody battle.......i went to the friday afternoon session and recorded the final talk of the day that railed on college.

then i went back and recorded the apostate talk on saturday.

both recordings are audio and visual but the visual is basically just a panoramic of the arena (i was sitting/standing in an area more or less above and behind the speaker.).

so my good ol soon to be ex father in law told me a few years ago (before i had told him of my horrible apostate ideas) about a "client" of his.

my fil used to be involved in the insurance/finance industries.

he had a lady client that was about 20 years older than him.
