I thought you had already been beamed up ! You have really corrupted very well since your first appearance here - like a maturing red wine perhaps.
The light of TTATT shines through!

Over 7yrs as a JW and I just found out I'm not supposed to buy Girl Scout Cookies?
by Maat13 ini'm still in the matrix(the truth), but 'morpheus' and his team are valiantly working on a way to get me out.
in the meantime, everyday i am discovering so much about being a jw i never knew, like don't buy girl scout cookies, that i keep asking myself "what have i got myself into".. maat.
really lame for a first post, but i figure i should start some where.

Hot Cross Buns anyone?
Our local Boulangeries make them 365 days per year not just over this period. We love to find the outlet making the tastiest ones - Given a light toasting and a good dollop of butter along with a Hot chocolate drink - Heaven !!

Barry................bringing up the Cricket has just spoiled a good frienship !! We wuz slaughtered !!!
Wigs are not worn in our court system. And of course no jurors [ a good thing as emotion and sentiment dont play a judgement role]
Cant compare with the Perry Masons and LA Laws - this is however very real in every respect. Whether OP's retching display the other day was real or not - I cannot say.
Will now have to see how the Prosecution fares.

I dont want to detract from the fact that you addressed your remarks to the lady from KZN - LouBelle. Nevertheless just a brief comment:
Ruby 456 - The Prosecution right now is treading on thin ice - they dont have a strong factual base to argue from thus far. Its early days however. Nevertheless you make the point we all wonder about - Who in their right mind discharges a fire arm in the manner he claimed he did. Why did he use illegal bullets that cause catastrophic injuries [bear in mind the gruesome testimony of the pathologist was not permitted to be aired directly due to its graphic nature.
The testimony now emerging of his other illicit uses in public of the firearm - This lil boy is a loose cannon [no pun] Very dysfunctional - would not surprise me if he was on "stuff' or snorted "snow" or was on steroids.
Nevertheless - if this trial were to terminate now, he would walk. The defence advocate is doing an amazing job of casting doubt. That is fairly fascinating stuff.
Defence is also showing that many of the witnesses have altered their court testimony from that which they first declared in their initial statements - having drawn conclusions from "facts" appearing later in the media. He has stripped some of them due to that.

Prince Charming : No one has denied that the Whites had the power and still have = - read properly. - I actually acknowledge that. I suffered under apartheid too and spent 9 months in a military prison for that. I also benefitted from apartheid in the area of jobs - because of my pale skin - Very little I could do about that.
We have adopted black children in our family [Fact] so dont try to be my social conscience - right now this govt is riddled with corruption - but you dont live here - so please dont try to come across as the "expert' We are quite capable of dealing with ourselves. YOu need to get more enlightened !

Thank God that business in South Africa is still under the present Status Quo -
[Its easy to throw little grenades from across the Indian Ocean - why did your family jump ship in the first place ? ]
Cos they were afraid of having to cede their "white empowered " status perhaps?

My Mom is in the hospital
by JeffT inmy mother broke her hip last week.
she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.
we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

I am in the same boat of caring for elderly parent with degenerative Neuro disease [Not Alzheimers]
btw Often the hip breaks which causes the fall [Osteoporosis].
I trust you have others who can assist you with support. Also the medical costs can be crippling - in our case Grandpa who passed in 2009 had no life insurance - why? Because when he wanted to take one out [45 years ago] he was told he was showing lack of faith - afterall the world was going to end in 1975 - so gran ended up in the Shit ! And by extension the children - we - now carry the financial can.
I feel for you and empathize with you.

JW vs Jehovah's Witnesses
by Da.Furious inapologies if this was discussed earlier.
i tried to search for a similar topic but couldnt find one.. anyway, i am an active jw or is it jehovah's witness?.
recently i noticed a trend, mainly found between teenagers and older techie brothers, of referring to themselves as jws.

Sarcastically speaking...........[in jest with you of course] Yes it would appear that the more distance they can give to the name the better - hence this drive to market and brand "JW.ORG" on every occasion now.
We were once counselled quite strongly that "JW" is not to be used ...it is slang...thats how the "world" refers to us etc etc

I was initially quite averse to the whole media circus that arose. Having been involved in Legal studies I find the court proceedings quite interesting though. His defence at this stage has probably got the upper hand over the Prosecution and this is probably due to the Prosecution not having build up a good case.
Maar die man het gister "katte geskiet" innie hof jong ! Yuslaaik it !! Eish !
Defence is doing a helluva job at casting doubt and so everything is pretty much circumstantial -
Cannot believe the hype it has generated though. Now if only all the other victims out there - and LB has enumerated how crap our justice / policing system is - could get this much attention in court things would be a lot different.
