The More Important Things.........
by simplesally inwhen we were good jw's, we were ordered counseled to "make sure of the more important things.
" they meant we were to "buy out the opportune time" and read our mags, go to meetings and field service......etc.
spiritual things first.

tell me why
by leslane inokay, as most of you have been associated with the so-called "truth" at some point in your life, tell me if you have ever heard the phrase where "jehovah only draws people to him"(or something to that effect ).
i have an issue with this statement, among many other things, but i would just like to know other people's opinion on it.. okay, so we are suppose to dedicate our lives to him, yet we can only do that whole-heartedly if we are 'drawn' .
so what, if we aren't drawn we are just left for dead?

Where can I find a true christian congregation who is loyal to Jehovah?
by Benny Sikter inwhy are jehovah's witnesses affected with so many false teachings that doesn't exist in gods' word?
why do they not show christian love to all people, including those who are disfellowshipped or disassociated from the congregation?
why do they favorite the members but not the exmembers?.

mat 1:19,20 19 however, joseph her husband, because he was righteous and did not want to make her a public spectacle(ref- de 22:23,24), intended to divorce her secretly.20 but after he had thought these things over, look!
jehovah?s angel appeared to him in a dream, saying: "joseph, son of david, do not be afraid to take mary your wife home, for that which has been begotten in her is by holy spirit.. mat 6:14,15 14 "for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you; 15 whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.. mat 7:1,2 "stop judging that you may not be judged; 2 for with what judgment you are judging, you will be judged; and with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you.

Britain's Real Monarch
by Pleasuredome inbritain's real monarch
startling new facts came to light in research for a channel 4 programme on richard iii.
the historian michael k jones had uncovered what appears to be strong proof that the 15th-century english monarch edward iv was, in fact, illegitimate, thus throwing the legitimacy of all the kings and queens who followed into question.

English behaviour in Portugal
by SM62 ini was listening to radio 4 earlier, and came across an interesting item.. the english fans are practically the only ones to give the portuguese police any trouble as far as loutish behaviour, fighting and other forms of violence (although there have been similar incidents with other nations, they are pretty much isolated compared to ours - according to this report, other nation's fans view the english fans with a certain amount of caution and fear).
the english are the only nation not to have committed any traffic violations!
other nations, particularly the portuguese themselves, have committed numerous parking and driving violations.. according to a portuguese police spokesman "the english drive impeccably and park exactly where they are told - we are shocked - we weren't expecting this".
