Hello Terbies, Im not a nube, Im 53, I have had some problem with an ex girl friend. We use to attend a church together. I only attended the church with her to help her with her alcohol depression and PTSD.
Naturally some people attending the church tried to become her friend. They were usavory characters, so I said, told her to stay away.
It turns out some of these people were friends with the Deacon and Junior Pastor, so they sent me a restraining order to keep away from the church, to not contact my girl friend, and stay away from the entire church congregation.
I guess I should have went to a lawyer. I called her up, I said what is this? And then one of the pastors in the church, took some shall I say false evidence ( the church gets threatening mail sometimes).
They took the threatening mail, signed off on a fake affidavit and had me arrested...wait for it...at my work. Long story short, I quit and have another job.
Mean while, the church said they didnt want to charge me with any criminal micheif, they just want me to sign a peace bond.
I had to get a lawyer, and I said, no way, no peace bond, I want a trial.
So we are playing the waiting game.
any tips?
Laugh at me if you want, but we can all be in this situation. It depends how powerful your enemies are.
What I dont undertand is one the deacons, lied under oath. That is perjury. What is to happen, can I charge them after the trial?
My lawyer charges 200 an hour, so I would rather get advice from Terbs, you guys are probaly the smartes segment of the population.
Thank you!!!!
