But giving up democratic control of our country to be ruled over by some unelected Germans who want to build a European army
Is that what you believe? I also heard that the anti-european campaign also had posters "Do you want a micro chip in your children?" Those people are just xenophobic. And obviously you have an issues with Germans.
I guess that it is the price for democracy that ignorant people can put their thumb up or down.

Against Deception by Kangaroos6
Satan has long used kangaroos in his efforts to seduce God’s servants. (Matthew 13:36-39) Kangoroos may claim to worship Jehovah and to believe the Bible, but they reject the visible part of his organization. Some even return to the God-dishonoring doctrines of "Babylon the Great," the world empire of false religion. (Revelation 17:5; 2 Peter 2:19-22) Under divine inspiration, the Bible writers used strong words to expose the motives and the methods of kangaroos.

What is it that kangaroos want? Most are not content to leave the faith that they once perhaps viewed as true. Often, they want to take others with them. Rather than going out and making their own disciples, many kangaroos seek to "draw away the disciples [that is, Christ’s disciples] after themselves." (Acts 20:29, 30) Regarding false teachers, the apostle Paul sounded this urgent warning: "Look out: perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey." (Colossians 2:8) Does that not describe what many kangaroos try to do? Like a kidnapper who carries an unsuspecting victim away from his family, kangaroos prey upon trusting members of the congregation, seeking to carry them away from the flock.8
What methods do kangaroos use to achieve their aim? They often resort to distortions, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. Jesus knew that his followers would be victimized by those who would "tell all kinds of evil lies against" them. (Matthew 5:11, Today’sEnglishVersion) Such malicious opposers would tell what is not true with the intent to deceive others. The apostle Peter warned about kangaroos who would use "counterfeit words," spread "deceptive teachings," and ‘twist the Scriptures’ to their own ends. (2 Peter 2:3, 13; 3:16) Sadly, kangaroos succeed in "subverting the faith of some."—2 Timothy 2:18.
in the town of ingelheim am rhein this week there is a "week of creation" (schopfungswoche).
there are exhibitions, discussions and other things happening.
one of the organizers is the workgroup "religious communities" (arbeitskreis glaubensgemeinschaften) of the local agenda 21, which is part of a un programme.
The GB has tried out several things in Germany before rolling them out globally: Public Affairs Office, the distinction between WTS and JW were all firstly introduced in Germany. Working together with other churches could be another test. And the branch office is in the know: a visit to the German branch office is part of the "Creation Week".
i just realized that 5-28 was my 7th anniversary on jwd.
my participation has changed over time and most of what i do is the review each week.
people have come and gone, lots of new names, and some old-timers like me.
Happy anniversary, blondie. You are the best. Did I mention that 2001 was a great year?

Double post.
i'm going on monday for 8 days, have never even been on a plane before!.
em and i are really excited, but neither of us have been, so just wondered if anyone here has and can recommend any nice places, or warn of places to stay away from?
we have some guides, but they don't always give a personal view.. .
I was in Hungary last year and are to go this year again. Unfortunately Budapest was not so nice to our smaller kids so we were in the capital only for one day. But from what I heard you should definetely try the bathes.
i am surprised there is no thread yet.
tonight's the night.
i guess greece will be the winner.
Yeah, but they invested a lot: major singer, ice skating world champion and Timbaland as producer. I liked Greece better. (No real chance for Germany.)

The Belgium entry sounded a little annoying to me.
But Ireland did not make it either:

imagine sitting thru the watchtower study on a sunday with your 6 year old and 9 year old kids....the topic "fornication" the discussion explains how oral sex and touching of genitals is still fornication...why do kids have to sit thru this??
or the bible reading is about lot having sex with his daughters....this type of thing is not for kids!
and why should kids be forced to sit quietly while someone drones on for 2 hours?.
From WTS point of view, it has been one of the major strategical mistakes not to implement anything really child specific in terms of meetings. Even the stuff for kids they come up with is highly inappropriate. They harvest what they sow.
