currently we have dear old liz with her corgis but i belive she has delayed retireing because of how much her son is not liked?
she surely can't keep going much longer?!!
so i was wondering... for all you brits or ex brits here... who would you like to see as the next ruling monarch?

I don't think that Highdose...the Queen has always maintained that it's her lifelong responsibility, and unless something unforseen happens, I don't think she'll ever 'retire'. Don't you think the Nation has 'mellowed' toward Charles? We must have the oldest reigning 'couple' in Europe - the Queen is coming up to 84 and Philip is 88!

I actually think Charles would make a good Monarch...although I also think that it's quite possible his mother will outlive him. Charles will become King George VII (not Charles III)
ok, here is one on the personal side of my everyday life.. i heard through another person that this female i know said i slept with her when i didn't.
why would a female say something like this if not true?
is their any logic to it?.
SOM - I heard through another person that this female I know said I slept with her when I didn't.
There you go...second hand 'news'. Never a good idea to believe gossip (as other posters have suggested). Maybe the 18 year old is totally unaware of this...?
please fill in the blanks.... from my experiance i would say: " silent, depressed, out all hours in the minstry and only gives birth to males ( potencial ms's elders etc).
Behind every good M.S/elder there's an ambitious elderette pulling the strings.
...and writing 'his' talks
today my 15 year old daughterand i went to the local craft fair, went to olive garden for lunch, then ran over to ross to shop a little, and as we were walking out of the store, low and behold, who was coming straight at us??.
(my daughters grandmother.
) she was headed straight toward us.
Lady Liberty - have sent you a brief PM.
i find them to be annoying.
i have worldly friends, jws, and 2 unknown apostate friends.
the comments from jws are a lot like this: .
im thinking of having a fb...loads of my mates have it...are jw alowed then? I been told yes by some sisters and no by others :(
Have you asked the same sisters if it's ok to have an account on here..? I wonder if you'd get the same mixed responses...go on, try it.
thought perhaps some newer members who haven't heard some of hassan's thoughts on mind control might relate to this from their own experiences in jehovah's witnesses .
even though mind control is initiated by the cult involved in controlling it's members - hassan points out - it actually becomes a psychological disorder which can entrap the victim himself or herself - all the while - as they are being controlled by the leaders of cults.. on page 55 of hassan's book " releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves " it states what happens in a destructive cult , " in a destructive cult, the locus of control shifts to the group or it's leader .
the new recruit abdicates his ability to make decisions.
The WT has manipulated its 'members' into believing they are 'safe' within the Organisation. It's almost like a mass hypnotic state (which is ironic really, as JWs are fearful of hypnotism as a form of mind control)
I don't know if this counts...two sisters who competed for a brother who was about to be widowed (his wife was terminally ill). Shameful.
do you have the revelation, its grand climax at hand" book"?
it is a fascinating book backed up throughout with scriptures will open your eyes but you must read it from beginning to end.. the above is a quote from my jw friend, inactive for 30 years and thinking of sheepishly returning.
is the book cited above a scholarly and dependable commentary on revelation?.
Welcome Maputo...that book is an embarrassment (amongst other things). It has been changed updated? since it was originally published - so they got it wrong in the first place...and they still have it wrong. Many JWs consider it 'too deep' (because they don't understand it), when in reality it's a pile of crap and nothing to do with the Bible.
all this kerfuffle over the year 607 threw up an interesting side issue for me.. some posts relate to the wts use of chronology derived from ctrussell's "divine plan of the ages" and "studies in the scriptures".
within those pages are found some explanations of how the years 1874 and, later, 1914 were 'decided'.
it seems there was a remeasuring of a particular tunnel within the great pyramid of gizeh which was, subsequently, found to be 40 inches longer.
Good thinking Hotspur (you have a PM)...did not the Egyptians use the 'Royal Cubit' as a standard measure...? So inches would be irrelevant anyway.
