first of all...hi mozzer!!!
please check your hotmail account for mushy love notes...there are pics in your work email once you get there monday!
second of all...just thought i'd tell everyone else we made it safely to latvia.
Wow, thanks for letting us know how you are getting on Andi, please take lots of pics for us won't you?
Latvia is a very beautiful country, but I'm still pissed off that they won the Eurovision Song Contest - we were robbed! But I won't hold it against them!
i have just received back the email i sent to cnbc ages ago (before the us showing), and they have just informed me that it will air this weekend (6th july), at last!
here is my email and their reply:
dear sir,
Now all you need to do is set your VCR for tonight to tape Dateline on CNBC, and then leave some space on the end of the tape for Panorama next week on BBC1. Then you will have just on one tape a double-whammy of programmes thet will leave even the most staunch Jehovah's Witness reeling with utter confusion!
have you ever sung alternative lyrics to kingdom songs during a meeting or a convention?
to qualify they have to sound very similar to the actual words so you can get away with it without too much attention being drawn to yourself.
here are three examples, i'm sure there are many more, so please feel free to add!.
It doesn't look like anyone else does this apart from me; as you can plainly see I clearly have an erudite and sophisticated sense of humour!
"A pair of tights
our God has promised
By means of Christ's
Millennial reign..."
(4 God's Promise of Paradise)
"...The seven genital times have ended;
Their kings have had their day..."
(14 "Be Glad, You Nations"!)
"...There is nothing lacking
We've sent God packing
What more from him do we now need to ask?..."
(19 Joyful All Day Long)
"...Kiss my bum, let God be angry
And you perish in the way..."
(168 Recognizing Earth's New King)

dear sir,
I've posted a link from that thread to this thread, and now I will post a link from this thread to that thread!

according to isa.66:10&11 we are told "you will suck and certainly get satisfaction".
what does this mean?
?
In a previous thread myself and Naeb brought out these scriptures that may clarify the issue further:
Acts 20:35
bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, 'There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.'Psalm 78:71
From following the females giving suck
He brought him in to be a shepherd over Jacob his people
And over Israel his inheritance.Matthew 15:11
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'"

It's the will of our God that we gain ability,
Try your best to elude all the ministry…"

As God's constipated one…"

there's no reason e'er to be proud…"

What about BBC World ( http://www.bbcworld.com )? Many people around the world, particularly in the US get this channel on cable or satellite. Do they show Panorama on BBC World?
Edited to add - Number 6 - all the info about Dateline tonight is on this thread:

dear sir,
I know we have bigger fish to fry in the UK now we know about Panorama, but this show has to be seen by as many people as possible. CNBC is on NTL cable channel 124. Get that VCR running!

E'man & everyone else - well done and thank you for keeping it quiet!
Iggy, I've had to bite my tongue on many occasions when paedophile priests are mentioned by "brothers" and "sisters". I know much more than I should know, and so if I say too much I might arouse suspicion. I feel I will now be able to speak more freely.
Anglise, it was ns7 post actually (if you are still there ns7, can you re-edit the title to Panorama?). I was stunned (still am) when I saw it.
City Fan. There was some publicity last year when the BBC moved Panorama from Monday to Sunday. They got about 1 million less than they used to. On Sundays they got 3.2million average, whereas on Monday they used to get 4.2million average. Now the repeat on Thursday? I don't know, but perhaps they did this to get more people watching. They probably are getting a heck of a lot more viewers now that it is shown twice.
the weekend poll's come a bit earlier than usual this weekend; there's more to read!!!
this week's poll question is a follow-up to last week's question: "what did you think of when you heard that so-and-so had been df?
the question for this weekend is: .
It's never been my experience personally where a re-instated one had upset me to the extent that I didn't think they deserved to come back. Maybe 9. I hope no-one applauds for the basic reason that I have always found this type of thing cringeworthy.
Naturally, in order for them to be reinstated, the person has to go to the meetings for a period of time. They have occasional little talks with the elders, but obviously nobody else. They often look very sheepish, coming to and from the hall, and I generally felt very sad about their predicament. I always felt particularly awful not being able to smile or say hello to them, like I did everyone else at the hall.
Because of the fact that I will have already observed them making their attempts at a comeback, it would be an announcement I would be waiting for impatiently. Sometimes this nonsense lasts for a very long time and so my natural reaction tended to be was: "I'm not sure I could stand going to the meetings and sitting at the back, being ignored for all that time. They must be very very humble and very very brave to go through all that palaver!"
