  i am sure i am the only one who will be posting on this thread given america doesn't have the contest and no one else is likely to own up to watching such a shameful debacle!!!.

  i am only slightly ashamed to say i have only ever missed one contest in 31 years and that was because i was in canada.

  i love it - terry wogan is brilliantly funny - and so are most of the acts.. tonight the voting for the british entry begins on bbc1 - given the new enthusiasm for reality/talent shows its getting prime time treatement for the first time in years.

  Could you translate those lyrics for us German XJW

  Do they go something like.

  "I know that this is a terrible song. And my hat is in very bad taste. But at least I don't look like those Brits coming next. Thank God for Polish plumbers."

  Gill.

  You know what? YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!!!!

  It's a national scandal. Forget benefit fraud and the "British Association of Polish Plumbers" it's a devious plot to wreck our Eurovision chances.

  I'll raise it with my MP and we'll be out of the EU before the end of the week.

  Well spotted

  German XJW's comment.

  . . . . . and the fact that you just told me Scooch won

  I guess that'll be the last time any British musical "heavyweights" enter " A Song for Europe" then.

  They won't want to have "The nation prefered Scooch to me" written on their CV!!

  JW D2D work doing some real good!

  by JWdaughter in

  2. experiences

  ok, so this guy was going out in service and came upon a old lady who had fallen and couldn't get up-and had been lying there for days.

  finally, a jw does some actual good out in the field.

  glad to know it isn't all a waste of time!

  Obviously that's good news.

  But seeing that they're the only ones preaching it's strange that the rest of Christendom can provide similar stories and more of them.

  For every account of miraculous angelic help, well timed call/meeting, selfless act, ultimate sacrifice that the WT produces as evidence of God's support/blessing/direction the Church can duplicate 100 fold.

  Anyone read The Heavenly Man? Story of a Chinese Christian's persecution at the hands of the Chinese authority, his unwavering faith and resolve, and his miraculous escape/deliverance - complete with "angelic blinding of his prison guards" allowing him to simply walk out of a prison.

  It's real "Yearbook Stuff". Of course it'll have been the devil "appearing as an angel of light and blinding his mind"

  NWT Contradictions on the Identity of Christ.

  by roflcopter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so in doing some research into the identity of christ we all know that the nwt quotes john 1:1 as: .

  2 this one was in [the] beginning with god.

  yet lets rewind a little bit here in our copies of the nwt and go to isiah 43:10: .

  This may be helpful.

  The Trinity doctrine doesn't, never has done and never will teach that the Son and the Father are the same person.

  I find that this is the crux of all JW refutations of the Trinity. However they are arguing at cross purposes.

  This may help

  Is the end really coming?

  by themonster123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  well, as anyone on this board knows i"m a newbie....and witnesses kind of are scaring me with their "end is coming" business.

  basically, cuz of three things:.

  1) the last convention was called "jehovah's day at hand!

  Can I just introduce a different perspective here.

  I left but remained a believer (in Christ not WT!)

  I don't confess to understand everything about "The End" or "Armageddon related interpretation" but it's just not my focus anymore. All this "must get it in order for the final day stuff"

  I believe it's coming. But my focus is on the positive stuff of my faith. If I die before it comes I feel my hope is secure.

  So I think the answer to the question is yes. When? Doesn't really matter.

  Got much life to live to worry about it.
