  So me, of all people, had a religious experience

  i was sitting in my garage, as i often do, to chill out and i actually ended up becoming angry.. so here i am, in my garage, kicking it on the stool for the drum set that is in there (i am a pianist/composer, not a drummer).

  i start to think about all the crazy stuff that transpires on this planet.

  we have all seen shows and heard stories or maybe even witnessed events that don't add up.

  Well done, but you might want to be careful about sounding so rational, OTWO. You might be called childish and bitchy by someone who does not like what you are saying.

  No matter how you try to spin this thing, and no matter how much you try to dismiss me as somebody who doesn't like what you are saying, THE TRUTH is I do not disagree with you on many points nor did I challenge you on them. However, what you said to JO was childish, negative and bitchy and you should be called on it.

  So much for the noble and enlightened atheist.

  Another one. Why is it Christians are so hostile toward atheists?

  And another atheist who thinks he knows everything.

  FYI, I am not a Christian. I'm a Jew and pretty much secular. For a man who loves logic so much, your statement was presumptuous.

  I wonder why atheists are so hostile and presumptuous towards others?

  It's just an observation I have of you. All that remains is being civil toward one another and try to have an adult conversation, preferably using our brains.

  HA! So you prefer an adult conversation after you childishly run up and smak JO with your little bag of bitchiness? tsk, tsk. That IS rich.

  Robdar, only in her HEAD she is in charge of Mom's money. No POA. My mother is fully competent to handle her own affirs, but SA has had them in her hands since mom had a serious surgey before I moved here to help care for her. She could be taking money from Moms account for all I know...but I don't know for sure. And no way to find out.

  I don't care if she does have responsibilty with it..it's not her place to dictate to me about something that did not even involve me. If she had a problem, she could have asked Mom herself instead of launching into an attack. .if Mom wants to give money to her grandsons for whatever reason, she should. One of them is a CNA and is a tantamount help when Mom is having surgeries, sick or needs any kind of help. Both work, but were low on cash. So what?

  Crimson, if there isn't a Power of Attorney, how is it that your sister is able to do business in your mother's name? And if your mother is competent, why hasn't she taken back control of her financial affairs? I do agree with you that if your mother is competent, there is no need for your sister to be meddling in her affairs or making negative judgments when your mother decides to lend your sons money. And yet she seems to be doing so, AND with your mother's permission. This story seems to be missing other pertinent information.

  Like it or not, your sister is in charge of your mother's financial affairs. IMO, since your mother is probably on a fixed income, your sister did have a right to question why your grown sons were borrowing money from your mother. Don't they work? If they do, it would seem to me that they should have their own money socked away since they are living pretty cushy with you.

  My parents have reached the age where they are trying to prepare for the time when they will no longer be able to care for themselves. When the time comes, I will be the one in charge of their finances and I would also be curious if I saw that one of my grown nephews had "borrowed" money from them. I would insist that it was paid back since parents will be living on a fixed income.

  I have not a mean bone in my body. I don’t lie. I don’t gossip, cheat, steal, manipulate or coerce. I am not vengeful, nor hateful. And I have taken an incredible amount of verbal abuse from Sister A for a very long time.

  I don't mean to be rude and you probably dont want to hear this, but it seems that you ARE gossiping about your sister to this forum. And since you said that you hate her and have thought of reporting her to the elders in order to hurt her that you are indeed vengeful and hateful. Perhaps it is time to take a long look in the mirror and get off your sister's case.

  these are hastily thought up facts and then some stereo-typical reasons, in response to sam's why men seldom get depressed thread.

  feel free to add ones that have been missed.. men:.

  have to shave everyday or they look like miami vice wannabe's.. have to register for the draft.. have to keep up that macho image for their buds.. have to pretend to love beer.. to them, size is an important issue.

  "Heather, your Native American name should be Balances Substance With Fun." And that good friend? A man.

  FHN, I'd say he was spot on.

  Rob, some of us were slightly crazy before we were JW's.

  Amen, Sister FHN! I'm a preacher's kid. I think we all know what that means.

  Cheers!

  Like you admitting to jumping on a trampoline in the buff?

  ~giggle~ It was a damn good time. And you should have seen the nude sketches. They were awesome.

  Look, I never said I wasn't crazy. I am and I have the kind of fun that only crazy people have the guts to try. I guess I get disturbed by all the bitterness. I just don't understand it. Maybe that's why I've gotten laid more than some posting on this thread.

  i will be posting videos and articles where ultra right wing hatemongers spew some new insanity.

  i know, they seem to be running out of new ideas and are desperately trying to get more creative every day.

  but they sure do try their best.. now, for my first instalment.. it seems that the prince of clowns, glenn beck, is not being too creative after all.

  the more I read the comments on this thread (and others on this db) the more I realize that when Jehovah's Witnesses break out, they jump right on the crazy train.
