when meghan markle says her royal wedding vows to prince harry on saturday, she’ll be following in the footsteps of princess diana and kate middleton by choosing to omit the traditional promise to “obey” her husband, the palace confirms.. during the ceremony, officiated by archbishop of canterbury justin welby, meghan will tell her royal groom: “i meghan, take you, harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to god’s holy law.
in the presence of god i make this vow.”.
the decision doesn’t come as a surprise: meghan has long been a vocal feminist, working with organizations like one world vision to learn about the challenges facing women and girls living in dubai and mumbai.
i doubt that practically the whole of the UK will be watching...apparantly theres some fubbal game on tv at the same time. i reckon half the UK couldnt care less about this wedding. its just a tourist attraction.
my first wife--a born in dub--omitted the obey bit as well. and she meant it.
so last night at around 11 while me and the wife were watching netflix and my cellphone rings.
i didn't make it in time and saw it was my mother who never speaks to me.
i decided to call back fearing something happened with my dad.
so the qbs were huge in the 80s and 90s, now i hear nothing.
have they stopped?.
i'm pretty sure the one recently sold--in Ryde isle of wight--UK--was one of the first quick builds in the UK. now a vet practice

can anyone tell me when, and why jehovahs witnesses hold evening gala,s / ball with full tuxedo,s and evening gowns ?
is it uk only as i have heard family throughout the uk attend these events (jw only) of course !.
what is the purpose of these events and how long have the dubs being doing so ?
huh ?
lets recap--its a a cult is force selling all these high value halls--sod the bruvvers who raised the wind to get these things built......and running off with the dosh.
and still those dumb clucks fall for it--every time.
ive just seen lost and adrift's post....My sister's old hall....sold to fund the less fortunate is what she told me
pah--haaa haa haa---thats a good one.
halls in Lake ( Sandown and Shanklin ), Freshwater, and Newport ( formerly Cowes and Ryde, Newport Carisbrooke and Newport Wootton )
funny place names i know--but they really are the names.
so just those 3 halls now. but the ratio of dubs to population over here is about double the national average...but thats almost entirely families who have moved over from England.
who has been out of the cult the longest ?.
i'll start--i resigned in 1971, but attended occasionally as a non-interested husband to keep the wife sweet, untill my last circuit assembly in autumn 1980. no connection with the cult since then.
so--its either 47 or 38 years, depending on how you see it.. which begs the question--why am i on this site now ?.
By good question jwfacts. In my case I simply didn't believe in God. So the watchtower and it's crazy ideas meant nothing to me. I did not believe Armageddon would happen in 75...and guess what.....?
