  Any Texas Lawyers in the House (or anyone else)? Need advice

  by TheClarinetist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm too stressed out right now to write this as anything more than what basically amounts to a series of bulletin points, but here goes anyway.. girlfriend burned down kitchen.. landlord wants money for repairs (obviously, no issue there) by december 5th.. landlord is attempting to apply security deposit to repairs in order to force us to pay all repair money within the next 10 days (over $1600) per the lease.

  is that legal without our permission?

  also, can she make us pay before she's paid anything?.

  I feel Bilious, now, help

  me and my wife took a nice pumpkin pie and some brand new pajamas to my dear mother who stays at my sisters house, she is ninety one (91) mind you, ok it was her birthday but there was no candles or a birthday card and she did need some new pajamas.

  ok, two weeks later, my brother in-law comes to our house and practically forces his way into the house, and proceeds to tell my wife who has never been a jehovahs witness ever but does know their rules because i explained them to her, that he does not want no more holiday food in his house of any kind, (of note) his wife who is a witness ate some of the home made pumpkin pie and if truth be known my brother in-law did too.

  anyway i am trying to make some sort of sense of this, he comes to our house laying down the law of jehovahs witnesses and insulted me and my wife all over a simple homemade delicious pumpkin pie which is my moms favorite, two weeks after the fact.

  By taking yourself out of the equation things tend to clear up very quickly.

  I like people who know to do this about the important stuff. I like the way you think.

  athens, ohio she was gone for good, and no amount of meditation could resolve the grief, even out here in the deep quiet of the woods.

  milt greek pushed to his feet.

  it was mothers day 2006, not long after his mothers funeral, and he headed back home knowing that he needed help.

  ATHENS, Ohio — She was gone for good, and no amount of meditation could resolve the grief, even out here in the deep quiet of the woods.
  
  Milt Greek pushed to his feet. It was Mother’s Day 2006, not long after his mother’s funeral, and he headed back home knowing that he needed help. A change in the medication for his schizophrenia, for sure. A change in focus, too; time with his family, to forget himself.
  
  And, oh yes, he had to act on an urge expressed in his psychotic delusions: to save the world.
  
  So after cleaning the yard around his house — a big job, a gift to his wife — in the coming days he sat down and wrote a letter to the editor of the local newspaper, supporting a noise-pollution ordinance.

  Does she perchance wear a patch over one eye and often say things like "arrrrghhh, matey" or "shiver me timbers"?

  pm me if the answer would reveal too much personal info about your friend, but I think I may have the answer as to why she reacted the way she did.

  So... I got the 607 defense articles sent to me...

  by i_drank_the_wine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...by a family member who recalled that this is one of my major apostate beefs.

  the articles themselves are disgusting pieces of mis-information and require some serious mental gymnastics to actually believe.

  however, they're so damn long-winded and waste so much time on pointless stuff like the 2 pages on the jw's beliefs about the 70 year period, that i am debating on whether or not to write the loyal j-dub family member back on it or not.. it shows just how brainwashed that family member is in that they know that 607 is a problem date, yet happily forward the articles as soem sort of proof while never once reading anything on the topic with an iota of thinking.. after years of having everything i've said on these topics ignored by everyone in my family that i've tried contacting over and over again, i really feel like taking the time to pick through their trash is going to be a big waste.

  Before you answer them on the specifics, ask them "did you actually read this and try to understand it before you sent it to me?". Most likely they didn't.

  Do You Honestly Believe ANY Politician Will Make YOUR Life That Much Better?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have to believe that in this day and age, they all suck.. and in the thousands of years of politics, i don't think there's any person or party that made life all that much better.

  (except maybe during fdr's reign)....but i'm not sure if all those programs that were instituted didn't produce the mess we're in now..

  If all politicians are all the same, as so many of you seem to believe, why do so many politicians act so differently from each other?

  I'm talking specifically about the policies they advocate for or against and the bills they write (or fail to write) and vote on. Also, their levels of honesty and accuracy vary greatly, and all these things can be and are measured and documented.

  So really, aren't YOU, gentle reader, just being a lazy, overly political yet ill-informed fuckwit when you say "they're all alike"? Because you know, the facts show that they are not "all alike". Pesky things, facts.

  Just curious.

  "Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

  by yourmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

  its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

  if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

  remember hearing that at the meetings?

  i find it ironic that the same can be said for ex-jw's.

  wish they'd say that at the meetings!.
