Has anyone else gone through something similar, or is there a certain way these things usually play out in court...

Thanks!

A bunch of lawyers told me that based on some Supreme Court ruling, the borrower has to testify... and I'm pretty sure they said the bank rep has to show up too.

I’m dealing with the exact same thing. Only difference is I never even got the ruling. By the time I realized what was happening, the seizure was already done because the ruling became final. Once it’s final, you lose your right to appeal. They just snatch the money straight from your checking account and leave you sitting there crying about it.

Once they finished the seizure, I went to the Federal Reserve to grab a copy of the ruling just to see what the hell was going on. Basically, the law firm representing the creditor sends the notice, and it's supposed to include the actual notary's seizure order. That document is meant to tell you to either pay up or appeal within eight days...
Those papers are supposed to list the specific account numbers being claimed. But an account number alone is useless. You can't actually access any data from that account based on just a number to figure out if the bill is legitimate or if they messed up. When I reached out to my cell provider regarding a bill from January 2012, they told me they had nothing. Apparently, they wipe everything older than a year. They couldn't even explain how they'd prove anything if I sued them to get my seized funds back—how are they supposed to show the usage on my line that triggered that disputed bill?

Bottom line: you aren't getting a single shred of info about the debt from the service provider because, according to them, it doesn't exist in their system anymore. Their lawyers will give you information in tiny, pathetic droplets, but they won't help you at all since you're their target, not their client. Your best bet is asking the Federal Reserve for a ledger, which will cost you about $6.25/page. You might get a few more details, but even then, you won't really know if you have a leg to stand on or not...

Basically, you're screwed unless the notary made a massive procedural error...

I’d love to be wrong here. Someone please correct me...

I need some help here: my bank accounts were frozen because of some alleged debt to T-Mobile. I paid off whatever amount they claimed I owed just to get my account unblocked. This whole mess has unfolded over the last two days, during which I haven't received any actual, useful information regarding specific account numbers or the exact amounts they’re claiming I owe. I was told I have to settle this through the IRS; apparently, T-Mobile doesn't even have the data on this supposed debt anymore, and the law firm representing them claims they don't have everything either—they told me to call back tomorrow once they supposedly hear from the IRS or whoever else. All I've been given is some vague nonsense about debts related to certain bills and notices from the first three months of last year. I checked my online banking statements for that timeframe; there are payments recorded for part of that period, and for the rest, there aren't any because I wasn't even their subscriber anymore (once my two-year contract ended, I switched to a new carrier and ported my number).
Given that I never received any official notice of an enforcement action, nor any proof that this debt even exists—let alone that they had the right to just seize my money—what legal steps should I take to get compensated? At the very least, I want the money they pulled from my account back. I’m supposed to get the full details from that law firm tomorrow; if it turns out there was zero basis for this seizure, what’s the move? Sue? How? Who do I sue? And on what grounds?

... I thought the whole thing looked pretty pathetic too. It was even more embarrassing watching Maric guest on PBS with Skugor and the Lollapalooza promoter just trashing Lollapalooza the entire time, claiming it's been on a downward spiral for years while insisting Coachella is the most innovative festival in the country... it was painful to watch.
Honestly, the festival had exactly one actual headliner who actually matters globally. Everything else was just busywork—filler acts used to stretch out a schedule so they could claim it’s a three-day event when it really should have been a single afternoon. And the beer $6.00? No thanks. I'd rather be sober at my first festival... though maybe that's why I didn't even have a good time...?!

😢 My bad, I didn't double-check. So it's either Tolstoy in Dolstoj... or if that breaks the rules, then Dolstoj
...that should be o.k.

It's not really similar, it just rhymes 🙂
But fine, whatever. Just reach out to rustydrifter10 with those instructions above.

Tolstoy in Tolstoy's

No.
Busy.

Look, when it comes to knowledge, one person's expertise is just someone else's garbage. Simple as that. There's only one actual truth out there, so I wouldn't bother trying to link the two. But hey, we live in a world where everyone claims they have their own version of reality and their own path to follow. In this day and age, "truth" is basically relative—just like knowledge is. So sure, you're right. You've got your truth.

Leo Tolstoy once observed:
To get back to the point... I’m certainly no theologian, but seeing this topic sparked a few lingering questions in my mind:
Doesn't knowledge actually distance us from God?

Not at all. If God truly exists, then seeking knowledge and uncovering the truth can only serve to draw us closer to Him.

...I don't get it... what does knowledge have to do with truth, and how does knowing things supposedly bring us closer to God? Sure, maybe institutional spirituality—which is what this thread is actually about—suggests that, though I have no clue how, especially with all that "expulsion from Eden" nonsense... but these other vibes... let's just call them New Age... they're all about shutting down the mind... transcendence... wouldn't cutting everything else out (including knowledge) be the way to become (p)art of the One?

Staying on topic here... I’m no theology expert, but this thread got my brain spinning:
Does gaining knowledge actually drive us away from God? If so, why would He even bother giving it to us if it just distances us from Him or our spiritual side?
And didn't we essentially "fall" just because we were hungry for knowledge?
Hey, Benedict XVI/Archontonis/Dalai Lama... am I totally missing the mark here?

...rumors are flying about maybe having Gorillaz on the lineup.... we'll see if it actually happens...

Terry Garcia3 said:Hey everyone! Was anyone hanging out in Napa Valley back on September 21st? I'm really curious to hear from people who have actually attended any of those seminars or workshops. If you have, would you mind sharing what the vibe is like? I’d love to know what actually drives people to dive into something like ThetaHealing—what’s the spark that gets them started, and what kind of real-world results can they actually expect to see from it? 🙂Thanks so much!

There’s already a 108-page thread on Theta here, so you'll probably find everything you're looking for there:
