Re: Formally introducing myself

I know how women can be about their mothers in law. I'd sure hate to think there was some skullduggery involved in her being sectioned (whatever that means).

Sectioned means to be held against one's will under the Mental Health Act 1983.

It helps keep the mentalists off the streets.

I was only indirectly involved. She is certainly not my mother-in-law, or even my grandmother-in-law. Her daughter is my husband's father's second wife, which makes her my husband's step-grandmother and my step-grandmother-in-law. I'd summarize that as "no relation".

Very briefly (we can Skype if you want ALL the details - do you have a webcam?) she sold her London house, sent the money to Landover and moved permanently down to her seaside house near us.

We took the children on holiday for a month in August. When we got back, we found she had moved into our master suite and made Agnieszka put our things in the spare room. Apparently she had sold her house here, sent all the money to some Chinaman she "met" on the internet, supposedly to build a church, and found herself homeless.

When I offered (very kindly) to take her to stay with one of her own children or grandchildren for a while, she started screaming about them all being terrorists. I called time-out and went shopping and when I got back, she had barricaded herself into the children's playhouse in the garden. She thought she was in some sort of World War 2 underground shelter, even though it looks like this:



She'd also rigged up a very dangerous electrical extension and wired internet connection which ran across the surface of the pool!

The children were traumatized so I took them to a neighbor's. I called my husband and he called Dorothy's eldest son. By the time we got back, she was under restraint and being carried into an ambulance (Mark 3:21), shouting that Pastor Zeke would have something to say about this.

She's now being assessed in a secure unit, where the doctors will decide whether she is a danger to herself or to other people. I don't think she has internet access there.

It is all very sad.

Yours in Faith,

The mental health industry is a complete fraud. What she needs is prayer. Lots and lots of prayer. I look forward to Skyping with you and setting you straight on this and other matters.

Very true, Brother. She is 94 years old, though. One of her real grandchildren (NOT one of my children!) asked her why she wasn't dead yet and suggested that it's because Jesus doesn't want her. You can imagine how that went down. But in the meantime, she needs to be in a secure environment, far far away from my children and without access to electrical sockets and pools.

I look forward to Skyping with you and setting you straight on this and other matters.

Matthew and I look forward to that too.

Um, yes. Yes, yes, of course. Matthew. Please do give your husband my best regards.

Re: Formally introducing myself

Just between Jesus and the rest of the forum, I have suspected that Sister Attila has been a bit "off" recently, although I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Some time ago there was speculation - quite juicy speculation - that Mr. Hun was not actually deceased. This was quickly placed under the rug and even though evidence was supposedly published indicating that Mr. Hun met his demise, I was not satisfied nor were many others.

All that aside, I do continue to lift her in prayer before the mighty throne of God whenever I kneel in my padded prayer stall in my luxuriously appointed prayer chapel in my luxuriously appointed home in the exclusive Apostle's Park section of the Godly town of Freehold: Sin Not Welcome!

I would love to send Sister Attila a gift - I know just how much she values my friendship - and I hope you'll pass my best wishes to our dear, sweet, kind, precious OLD friend.

In love and respect for the elderly,

Re: Formally introducing myself

Hello everyone. ......

I am the proud wife of Matthew and the loving mother of 6 children, 5 boys and a girl. Number 7 (please join us in praying for a boy) is due in November. I am also stepmother to Matthew's 3 girls by a previous marriage. His first wife died in childbirth - we sometimes wonder whether she turned up her toes in despair at producing a third daughter.

...........

Sister Joanna, I see from your introduction you seem to come from good breeding stock and but for 1 attempt you have a perfect record for producing man children, A JOB WELL DONE! I have to believe it is your lineage as your husband's track record isn't very good when you include his 1st wife.

I have been without wife for several years now and have decided that I should consider remarrying. I have not remarried sooner because I thought the Rapture was just around the corner, unfortunately it hasn't happened. My question to you is have you chosen a husband for your daughter yet? If not, how old is she? Is she of good health and sound mind? This is a bit worrisome after hearing the tale of Mrs Hun, but as you said their is no blood relation between your children and Mrs Hun.
If you could have your husband contact me with his contractual desires for my taking his daughter as wife. I will be happy to send him my resume and financial audit along with personal references. Of course I would like your daughter audited by The Ladies of Landover to judge her wifely abilities and to voice any deficiencies that might be found.
I have always felt that a more mature woman is prime for marrying so I don't mind waiting a couple of years of ''engagement'' until she is 14 or 15.

Dear Mr. Davis,

May I suggest waiting for a woman just a few years older. Us stupid women mature so much during those years between 14-17 that it really makes a difference. By the time a girl is seventeen, she is more mature and is in general more capable of following her husband's commands as said in Ephesians 5:22. However, please take my suggestion as just that; I mean no harm to your godly, male character.

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

Who are you to question my knowledge of the ways of women! If you judge a person acceptable at the worst of times and find her bearable and you make most of her prime years of breeding then you will have done best for procreating and the extending of your bloodline.
How many times have you married? Proverbs 21:19 speaks of women that act as you are now presenting yourself and your misguided opinions .
If you knew the Bible at all you would realize that only Genesis 17:17 speaks of May September marriages, that being Abraham and Sarah and it was an attempt at humor for the oldest remarrying.

OK, Mr. Davis. There is no reason at all for you to lash out at my precious sister in Christ. There is no one on this earth more sincere about pleasing the Lord Jesus than she. At this young age, she is to be uplifted and supported, not rebuked. If you have something to say to her, it goes through me as her mentor and loving sister.

Dear Mr. Davis,

May I humbly ask for forgiveness. I misspoke out of turn and I did not mean to offend. I will make a point to beg the Lord for forgiveness and focus more on my studies of a woman's place in the Bible. Will you please forgive me?

Humbly yours in Christ,
Elizabeth


Dear Sister Naomi,

Thank you for supporting me through my error of judgment. I look forward to learning more at your gentle, kind, and wise words. Proverbs 17:17, "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

Lovingly yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

Mrs Lamb, are you trying to tell me I should let you vet any messages I wish to post on this site. I am above arguing with you in a public forum but if you have any suggestions on my rebuking a forum member I will be glad to discuss this with you via PM. Unlike some around here I do not air my dirty laundry in public.I would likew to further say that I don't feel you are dealing with this in a True Christian manner.

Re: Formally introducing myself

Sister Joanna, I see from your introduction you seem to come from good breeding stock and but for 1 attempt you have a perfect record for producing man children, A JOB WELL DONE!

Thank you, Brother Benedict. Your praise means a lot to me.

Little Hannah will be 6 next week. She is a biddable child, in excellent health and good humored. However, under our current absurd secular laws, which we are obliged to obey (1 Peter 2:13-15), she will not be permitted to marry for another 10 years (+ a week). Can you wait that long?

I have to believe it is your lineage as your husband's track record isn't very good when you include his 1st wife.

I am sure you are right, sir. However, his first wife was a feeble, anemic-looking creature whose own mother suspected her of closet vegetarianism. Might this account for the problem? My 3 stepdaughters are strapping girls, enthusiastic meat-eaters, educated to an acceptable womanly standard and well trained in wifely duties by me.

Faith, 15 (named in the faith that their next child would be a girl) is probably your best bet. At 5'3" and 120lbs, she is a little on the curvaceous side for her age, but most of it is on the hips. She is blonde and blue-eyed, like all her father's children.

Hope, 14 (named in hope that God would not punish them a third time) still needs correction from time to time - as do all women! But she needs more than most. In a year or so I expect she will have settled down.

Charity, 13 (presumably named as a joke, in reference to her birth weight - 1 Corinthians 13:13) - well, at this stage in her development I would not recommend her to a gentleman of your standing. Diet, exercise and constant prayer are slowly doing the trick, though.

I will certainly ask Matthew to contact you. All 3 girls come with a substantial inheritance due on their 18th birthday, or on earlier marriage. No, we do not approve either, but this comes from a business colleague of their maternal grandfather, who took a great interest in them as small children.

Yours in Faith,
Joanna
