  No, currently there are only English songs. For a German, she has a rather British accent.

  Sorry, but usually we do not get any points from Austria at all.

  Which is politics again.

  I do not thing that she is winnig the whole thing but she can be a very good delegate for Germany.

  She was totally unknown before and won the big competition and now there is a big hype here in Germany. And she really has this special something in singing her songs. I am not sure if this can be perceived outside Germany. Maybe you tell me

  My favorite is "Mr Curiosity", starts at 3:01min after the intro ns the video.

  Hi all,

  We in Germany have now identified our candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2010 in Osloand I must say: she is quite a character.

  Her name is Lena Meyer-Landrut and she will perform the song "Satellite".

  She is young and cute, but during the process she performed some songs in her very own way:

  I like it. Take a look and enjoy at: http://www.unser-star-fuer-oslo.de/kandidaten/

  (Songs start after some intro. You have to pick a song. It is only the lady on the top. the rest are the runner-ups.)

  could those who know about these lay offs give some clear evidence of what has happened, when, to who, any experiences of people effected and to what extent?.

  i want to talk to a really good friend about the situation.

  he is a young guy who feels he should be doing more for the organisation, and is thinking about giving up a very good career to make a more of his career in the "truth".

  Since Partakers is up 8.7% and Publishers is up only 3.2% they cannot claim these are some confused newly converted.

  WTS publication: Mankind's Search for God

  by Gorbatchov in

  friends,.

  at the end of the 80's the wts published "mankind's search for god", about the global mainstream religion's.. what's your opinion about this publication?.

  i think it was written for use on the weekly bookstudy, there were questions for all paragraphs.. after the publication it was never used at the bookstudy, and it was only rarely used in the congregation.. .

  That was also my impression. But maybe it was only meant as a tool for the publishers to approach people from other cultures.
