I have hired a lawyer twice in my life. The first gave me bad legal advice that cost me over $10,000. When I brought it to his attention that his BAD advice cost me $10k, he got snotty with me and said maybe I should just fire him if I didn't like what he was doing for me. I would have liked to fire him, but we were in the last phase of the divorce case so firing him would only have cost me even more $ to hire another and time. My hands were tied to really do anything except suck it up.

The second lawyer I ever hired cost $3,000 retainer and he made one phone call. When I asked him if we would get any of the retainer back he laughed at me.

On the other hand, I have never ripped off any lawyers. (ohhh I see where your going... we are ripping you off by getting free legal advice that you post of your own free will?) Really?

DOC: We all know it's unfair to lump them all together. 99% of all lawyers give all the other good ones a bad name.

This has been the case with my limited experience with lawyers. I understand that 2 in not a large enough sample, but that is my experience.

Why do you think there are so many negative lawyer jokes?

I would think a lawyer who has 7 years of education and real world experience would have a little thicker skin then getting all upset and want to leave this community over some idiot talking out his ass. Insead of setting the idiot straight, you instead throw a tantrum because someone dared to disagree with you?

BOTR, I like reading your posts and I have also become educated along the way due to your posts. Leave if you must, but there is no reason to insult everyone on your way out.

CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES KEEP SHRINKING IN SIZE - WAY TO GO!!

by steve2 in

the recent boe letter announcing changes to the duration of circuit assemblies was warmly received by congregations the worldover.

it was as if the brothers and sisters were already in the new world for, upon hearing this news, there were no tears at all.

instead, it is a humble acknowledgement from the gb of the mind-numbing, yawn-inducing 2-day circuit assemblies.. .

This is something that both JWs and apostates can be happified over!

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

by cofty in

10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

What has happened to AJWRB?

by Haelcer in

does anyone know what going on with ajwrb's website?.

"this domain maybe for sale!

buy it now!

Stealth

AJWRB was a very useful resource to deprogram the WT blood doctrine from this born in JW.

JWs sacrafice their children upon the alter of this WT doctrine. It needs more exposure then it currently gets.

Went to a conference in San Francisco one year. There was a man laying passed out in the street. He had the distictive look of a native american. He never got a chance to beg for $ because he was passed out.

Went back to SF one year later and the same man was still laying in the street passed out.

I find it easier to help others in need more now then before when a JW.

I don't know Italian, this is how Bablefish translates the OP........

"Speech which lasts an hour and a half. The yahwist Executive touches various topics about the family, including clothing, morality about homosexuals, I turn off the tv when you eat, the ostracism that must be practiced consistently and without uncertainties about who is no longer part of the movement. A video to be saved before the TdG which published it reconsider ... ù the ostracism from practice toward family members also loses from 1 hour and 15 minute onwards."

Same old crap, different country.

The True Church Cannot Be Seen

by maccauk11 in

the true church is one not made by human hands it cannot be seen or touched nor is it made with bricks and mortar.

it is a living breathing entity made up of believers in messiah.

all earthly representations of it are counterfeit and a delusion to stop you from entering into the new spiritual covenant started after the destruction of jerusalem and the temple in 70ad.

I gave it two days just in case there was any latency in my message getting to Jesus. Nothing astonishing or amazing has occured.

So from a promise of many amzing and astonishing things that would occur to nothing that actually happened, I can only come to the conclusion that;

1) No one heard my humble plea, therefore nothing happened.

2) Jesus has rejected me.

3) A fiber seeking back hoe has cut off communication between myself and Jesus.

Were you afraid of Armageddon on New Year's Eve 1999?

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

obligatory false predictions link.. so were you cowering somewhere with a stash of watchtowers hidden in your bunker on 12/31/1999?.

were you excited about armageddon coming and wiping all the wicked off the planet?.

were you arrogantly bragging how much better you and your fellow bros were than the worldlies, who were out celebrating blindly, like those in noah's day?.

Stealth

I was more concerned about Y2K then the big A! We knew for a fact that the year 2000 was going to happen.

I do remember the family watching TV at midnight, I went down to the basement and threw the breaker on the entire house right a midnight as a joke.

After the breaker went off, I listened..... first child "See I told you something was going to happen". ...... a few minutes later.... "How come the neighbor's lights are still on?"...... then I hear "Where did dad go?" It was a good 5 minutes of fun.

Edit to add: I was most afraid of Armageddon on September 5 1975 then I was during 1999.
