  i am about to go into mediation with the ex to negotiate new child access arangements.

  i was wondering about being able to negotiate this.

  Thinking back to a civics class. The laws used to read that anyone entering into a legal contract with a minor does so at their own risk as it is not binding. If the minor decides not to honor the agreement then the other party has no recourse.

  Of the sexual abuse survivors you knew. . .

  by Lady Lee in

  how many fit this description provided by no longer held captive?.

  as a nurse, i can tell you that their lives wont go well.

  usually abused females end up neurotics and suffer from personality disorders, and more often than not, anorexic.

  It also might be a sample bias related to their profession. They in most circumstances do not see the entire spectrum of the population but only the sample that they have come into contact with during their career. The anorexic patient will need the intervention of treatment much sooner than the obese, or optimal weight patient; that by itself will skew the sample.

  I do agree w/ Finally Free that each person and situation needs to be evaluated individually.

  it was not typical in my experience.

  Yes.

  Very pretty young girl about 15 years old I was friends with. Drunk step-father came into her room and tried to make things happen. (Her words)

  Private reproof of step-dad, mother counselled to try and make herself look prettier, girl had little use for the elders after that. She was never the same afterwards. The only reason I know this is she confided in me right after it happened.

  I want to go hurl.

  Armagedden Suitcase

  2. experiences

  my mother let it slip the other day that all the families in their hall are putting together a small suitcase.

  inside this suitcase are to be things that you will take with you if given a 5 minute warning that the great tribulation is starting and you need to leave your home.

  my father seemed quite embarrassed that this slipped.

  ** Return of vivid memories of suggestions from the platform to sequester and bury literature in a safe place so that one might have access to it when the "great tribulation" was upon us.**

  Most of the content would be considered old light now.

  alanv: That was my point. I wasn't worried about turning in any time and I wasn't going to. My husband decided to do it for me and then told me after the fact.

  The easiest way to mess this arrangement up is to put in a report yourself with time on it and they see one report with time and one with zero and the face saving goes out the window.

  underling++ = spirtuality++

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dos anyone remember how the dubs used to try and show how spirtual they were by how much they had underlined their watchtower?.

  this also happened to their bibles too, i saw one that was almost unreadable due to the mass of neon coloured highlighters and scribbles in the margin, myself i used to think "oooh they must be sooo spirtual!

  " but really... how hard is it to agree with brain washing when your brain washed yourself?

  Reminds me of Matt. 6:1,16.

  Used those two versus when a hyper hounder wanted to know why I didn't underline and rejected the reason of a good memory as not acceptable.
