Who is telling the truth?
A BBC national headline in its website on Friday 18th September read:
‘I’m telling the truth’: Earl Spencer defends Diana book claims about Charles in BBC interview
I know whom I believe and it is not the adulterous King Charles!
Who can believe any man who mumbled a response in his ‘plummy’ voice when asked on the day of his engagement to Princess Diana if they were in love?
The interview is reported in these words :
An interviewer asked, “And are you in love?”
Diana’s Reply: “Of course.”
Charles’s Reply: “Whatever ‘in love’ means.”
I believe that it was well known in press circles that the young Diana was simply picked as a ‘broodmare’ by the Royal household to merely produce an heir!
She was explicitly described as a ‘broodmare’ by sections of the British press, and it is reported that she herself adopted the term when describing how she felt viewed by the Royal Family and the media. Diana used the term to describe how she felt the Royal Family and Prince Charles viewed her—solely as a functional means to secure the royal succession. She made the comment during secret audio recordings she made for biographer Andrew Morton. These tapes were recorded between May 1991 and February 1992 at Kensington Palace. In the transcripts, she noted that after fulfilling her ‘duty’ by giving birth to an heir and a spare (Prince William in 1982 and Prince Harry in 1984), she felt abruptly cast aside.
Prince Charles was asked by the officiating cleric:
‘Charles Philip Arthur George, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?’
He answered: I will.’
His promise at his wedding to Diana was this:
‘I, Charles Philip Arthur George, take thee, Diana Frances, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.’
It was not long after the wedding that he resumed his adulterous liaison with the woman with whom he had been carrying on an immoral relationship for years, Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles.
Any man who can stand before the nation, the dignitaries of the ‘Church’ he now ridiculously claims to be the ‘Head’ of, and above all, claim to swear in the presence of God to Princess Diana, ‘I plight thee my troth’ or ‘I pledge to you my faithfulness and truth’, with no intention of remaining faithful to her, is not to be believed.
In truth, in keeping with the sinful traditions of the Royal household and of the irreligious times in which we live, we have a ‘King’ who is an adulterer married to an adulteress and whose word cannot be believed!

The sadly gullible who aid a great wrong – Pt 1
“And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing,” 2 Samuel 15:11.
There is likely a link between the sad events of 2 Samuel 15 and the experiences over which David mourns in another of my Bible readings this morning, Psalm 69. It is widely believed that Psalm 69 refers to the grief and suffering caused to David by Absalom’s rebellion.
Here is Dr John Gill’s comments on the verse which I wish to draw your attention to.
‘Ver. 11. And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, [that were] called, &c.] Invited by him to go with him and partake of his peace offerings, as the payment of his vow in Hebron; part of which was made a feast of for his friends, whomsoever he should think fit to invite, as he did to the number of two hundred, and for the entertainment of whom a large provision ought to be made; the Jews {h} have a tradition, that he had leave of his father only to invite two to go with him, and that he asked two more unknown to the first, and so on, two after two, until they amounted to two hundred: and they went in their simplicity; to partake of the feast of the peace offerings, to which they were invited; being quite harmless and upright in their intentions, having no thought of disloyalty and rebellion in their breasts: and they knew not anything; of an intended conspiracy; howbeit, doubtless many of them were drawn into it when got thither; and as these may be supposed to be some of the principal men of Jerusalem, it was a great weakening of David’s interest, and laid a considerable foundation for Absalom to begin upon.’
Observations
I quote Dr Gill as a means of showing support for my own observations on this verse, read this morning (Saturday 19th) as the first chapter of my daily Bible reading.
I must acknowledge that I find daily in God’s Word that which strengthens me in the midst of the present controversy I have with some foolish men within our denomination with regards their forsaking of the “old Paths” into which the Lord led our founding fathers in 1951.
In this chapter we have related to us the events that indicate that Israel was on the verge of a very sad and bitter catastrophe, born out of David’s failure to rightly deal with the sin of a son he loved. (more…)
