  Nanny or waiter?

  I haven't heard the nanny story.

  Right now, as of I think 18 December or so, a waiter has gone into hiding.

  The same waiter who has said that Kate McCann's "first words from the balcony" were different to the words she claims she cried out to the Tapas 7 upon running back to the restaurant.

  The same waiter whose memory of the evening's events seems more crystal clear than that of most others.

  The same waiter who could cause the Tapas 9 to come crashing back to earth in a big way.

  I don't pray for Maddie. She's already dead. I pray for the waiter.

  Dr Russell O'Brien yes, apologies, writing Richard was my error.

  badboy, are you referring to evidence like this? http://cuttingthroughtherubbish.blogspot.com/2007/12/russell-obrien-comes-under.html

  Or has your investigation reached a different level?

  Do you work for a mobile phone company? Or are you privy to Dr Russell's travel arrangements?

  Although I'm not a newbie in months, I'm a newbie in posts.

  On one of my earliest posts I received a sarcastic reply implying doubts about whether I could truly be a newbie. (Sorry oompa, calling you out here!)

  I understand that with trolls around, people can be wary. But I also think that being automaticallly suspicious of all new posters can be damaging.

  Maybe first give them a while and see whether their posts are useful and genuine?

  willy says: well," because of all these christmas lights on these houses if armageddon came now it would be easy for gods destroyers to find the unworthy ones who will be eaten at the great evening meal of god.

  wilma says: oh", yes willy and just think of all the nice houses we can choose from to inhabit once those who opposes the society are killed off, just thinking about the possibility of having my pick of all these nice homes makes me more anxious for the battle to come.. .

  Wilma picks up the phone.

  "The Watchtower home, good evening."

  The voice on the other end is small, quite vulnerable.

  "Sister Watchtower? This is Janet speaking. Janet from yesterday."

  Wilma feels instantly cold, and draws her dressing gown more tightly around herself.

  "Yes Janet, how can I help you?"

  "Sister Wilma, please may I speak to Brother Watchtower?"

  I think we should cool it with the sarcastic remarks. I apologize for mine.

  I always respect a thoughtful apology, but not this one.

  WTF FA, you can't flip-flop between your sarcastic remark and your decree that the entire group repents and flip-flops with you.

  The public speaking training is fairly good.

  Not the Reasoning from the Scriptures rubbish about flumoxing and bamboozling people at the door, but the Theocratic Ministry Guidebook and that whole training program does actually offer a great practical course in addressing an audience that is useful in real life.

  This is all I can think of.

  That evening, Wilma and Willie are sitting at their dining room table talking about the events of the day.

  Wilma is wearing her pink dressing gown and Willie is wearing his blue cotton pyjamas.

  I went to my high school prom with another JW as my partner.

  At that stage attending the prom was a "conscience issue".

  At that stage also, my parents were liberal enough as JWs to have supported me going with whoever I wanted, a JW or a "worldly friend". I chose the Witness.

  A few weeks later at the circus assembly, the mother of the JW who went as my partner was interviewed on the platform, and she spoke about how devastated she was that her teenager went to a prom. Applause from the audience.

  My mother sat watching this, completely and unnecessarily humiliated and embarrassed.
