Everytime a see a reference to that Watchtower about the Children who put Jehovah first [Our Child Matyrs] I also see in my minds eye that awful illustration in the Paradise Lost book of a parent offering his child into the lap of Molech.

I once included a quote from a 1950's WT in a public talk and was taken to task by a former CO who was present for using such an old source. When I protested by saying well it is a WT Publication he commented " ....Yes but we dont need to go back that far..............."
I was already in "fence-sitting" mode at that time so this just reinforced my views.
I have found numerous very close similarities with WT info correlating with older commentators - esp Matthew Henry.

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?

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.
