Flutter,

As a family we can't fit into a 1 bedroom, but I have found a condo for $89,000. That is $635 in condo fees and $300 in mortgage. Heat and water inc. Here we're paying $1100 in mortgage alone + heat. We would save if we can get a co-signer.

It's hard to live in this world with everything going up and hard to say no to family, believe me I know. There is 5 of us living here. My wife, our 3 kids and I. We have it extremely hard in the winter months like most. High bill's, kid's get sick alot plus my wife has cancer (really dont like talking about that but felt like I had to bring that up here) and you think it's going to be hard to say no to your sister because you are afraid of her not co-signing? I don't do everything my own parent's tell me because im a 37 year old man with a family of my own and dealing with my wife's cancer. Yeah they do help out alot but wont stop helping us because I refuse to do what they want at times. I don't like to see someone feel like they have to be forced into something that they feel they don't really want to do. Mainly something like this. Remember if you get involved then your wife will get involved even if she don't want to somehow. But you are a grown man and if you feel like it go ahead but remember that all the members here they replied on this post had just about the same opinion on the matter.

This is 100% accurate in my opinion. Good on ya Fade. JP....you'll know what do to and when.

Personally I think organised religous institutions are dangerous, follow a god if you wish but don't let others pressure you into certain tasks or beliefs that you are not comfortable with. I don't accept anything at face value, 'faith' is an irrelavant term. I also had fun taking the test and found that my beliefs were not too suprising although I haven't got a clue what half of the things that are listed are.

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (96%)
3. Nontheist (78%)
4. Liberal Quakers (77%)
5. Neo-Pagan (71%)

15. Sikhism (35%)

25. Seventh Day Adventist (18%)
26. Hinduism (15%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (7%)

I also agree with the others J-P, you always come across as a nice guy when I read your posts but some nice people can be pressured into doing things that they don't want to do just to please others. Personally I would move across the world if the only other choice was to join a religous or social institution especially a one like the one that has been described here but as Fade2Black says it's your choice and yours alone.

Can you not get a second job if your issue is financial?

I got a hold of some inside video. It is in French (with subtitles) and I broke it down to fit on You Tube and posted it

Lets see how long it stays there before it gets taken down

Currently experiencing problems with part b, so no guarantee that it works.

Sooooo... when's your 1st meeting with them?

Oh man, J-P you don't need to join a cult. Yeah I watched those videos and people on there even admited that it is a cult. Thought you was much smarter then that. Cult's are for the weak minded people that look for something in their lives that think they FEEL like they can't get anywhere else. Not trying to make you mad and sorry being so blunt about it but YOU CAN do much better then this crap. Anybody can do better then this. You sound like a very smart person from what I have read and seen from you in these forums and very easy to get along with. I even will admit that you are one of my favorite vet members in here . I hate to see you fall victim to these cult's. Well said my peace. If you do decide to go through with it, Don't drink the punch when the leader says its time, seriously.

Veteran member? This site's been here for 12 years.

Well veteran in this forum campare to me and high ranked, well you know what I mean....lol. This site been here since 1998? So what happened to those old members?

Hehe. That just means that he has a lot to say

Myself & RTR's still here. Myaj has been here the 3rd longest, I think. I actually inherited RTR with the site--he was already here when I got on. There was a big mutiny (over a girl) here about 5+ years ago & several of the staff started their own puffer forum, which failed. Others just went on with their life.

TPF was actually started by a 14 year old Malaysian boy. When he went on to high school he handed over the site to me. I wish he'd stop in someday to see what became of his "lil" puffer site. He's got to have graduated college by now.

Very interesting. And it all was started by a 14 year old Malaysian boy, wow. Btw, talking about other puffer forums. FaceBook has one that I just found the other day by accident..lol. I noticed that members in here are also members of that group but still don't have the activity as this forum. Believe most FB groups don't stay very active for long...lol.

thanks

I'm not mad. If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck it probably is a duck It is not that I want to go for my mutual benefit or anything like that. I am curious. My sister and her husband both have gone and seem better for it; "seem" being the key word there. They want me slotted in for this March. That is why I am doing so much digging. I found there was this damning video out there somewhere and it took me a week to find it. Thus, I broke it down and posted it. AFAIK, I'm the only one on YouTube with that video.

I don't know if "The spy shop" does rentals but I'll ask I'd also like to see a copy of that "initial contract" because, in France it isn't legally binding. I wonder if it is the same here
Anyway, I'm not going to commit to anything at the moment. Too much on my plate for now. If I went there next week, I'd definitely be in some serious trouble or will sleep through the entire presentation

BTW... that little Malaysian boy is on WWM at the moment. Not a very active member, but he is there.
