  i had a lot of fun reading the topic about english spelling and i asked the above question already under that topic, but i think a it's interesting enough to create a new topic.. for instance:.

  a) what is the capital city of denmark?.

  b) what is the difference between holland and the netherlands.

  Wingcommander:We know that our forefathers left there to get away from oppressive forms of government and religious persecution.

  Actualy this also used to be the case in amerika, before it got independed. Accept in New Amsterdam( New York nowedays), which was founded by the dutch and they allready had freedom of religion and democracy, most of them where named Jan or Kees, so they were called the Yankees, by the rest of the colonies. This way of live became more and more popular in the rest of north america, so they took it over from the dutch. Even de declaration of independence is based on that of the dutch declaration of independence( from the spanish).

  Wingcommander:You would all be speaking German right now if not for us saving your asses!!

  Not true!! We probably would be speaking russian and be communists.

  another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

  " page 6 para 19 reads:.

  19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

  Some marriage mates might discreetly hold hands, but if they embraced each other during public prayer, those who got a glimpse of such conduct might be stumbled.

  I'm Sorry, but aren't you supose to close your eyes during prayer? So how do you get a glimpse and if you do and you complain about it, then they know you looked during prayer and so didn't join the prayer.

  And who will ectualy be stumbled????? Isn't love the most beautiful thing there is? Isn't God Love?

  A Smurf walked out of the Kingdom Hall

  when i was a kid, i'm guessing 5 or 6 years old.

  the "smurfs are demonized" rumors started spreading around.

  after a few weeks of hearing that and having to throw away all my smurf toys, i was at the kingdom hall and a sister came in with a bookbag with a big picture of a smurf on it!
