do you think its possibly just a misguided perception in your eyes caused by there being proportionately fewer (?) UK posters on here who may include a higher percentage of those who have been out of the org for less time than many of the posters from elsewhere (so still working through their anger, which they have every right to do)?
Hope you understood that, I'm struggling to co-ordinate my sentences today!
Sad emo's the angry one here
NOW YOU MADE ME REALLY MAD!!!!!!!
And make sure you stay out of MY personal space at the curry or I might get madder
I think maybe Hambeak has a sort of point. I think people from the UK express themselves more directly, their humour is more satirical and cutting and their overall manner is more pointed.
I have always thought our cousins across the pond are more earnest, with no sense of irony or satire (in very general). So I think it might be possible to see our manner as more angry, whereas we are used to seeing it as ironical or satirical. A few episodes of Spittin' Image and Faulty Towers would sort out the whole problem!
I admittedly am new to this and I am not being judgmental. I think that you are, otherwise why divide us by race? Why does it seem that when I read the threads from folks in the UK it seems they are preoccupied with a lot of research into the WTS and changes into their beliefs? Ever read the brilliant research by Alanf , The Freeminds site (Randy posts here as Dogpatch)? Why not just let it go and go on with life. Because our lives have been screwed up, many families have suffured, we have been lied to - and we want to stop it happening to other people I have received many responses from a lot of folks and all seem so full of love. We can be loving too when you get to know us - we are nice people really Is the branch office in the UK different than the USA? No , it gets its orders and scripted material direct from Brooklyn

will do
I don't think that UK ex dubs are angrier than those from the USA or Australia, Canada and NZ. It depends on the individuals in each country and how much harm or losses they had inflicted on them by the WTS. The same goes for research there are more Americans doing this, also because there are many more EX dubs there.
We in the UK have a right to be madder than you Yanks. You exported that garbage over here!

mind you, there's plenty of people here who are stupid enough to believe it!

Yeah, and when they find it's a load of codswallop they'll get mad. Then, they'll do research and get madder. Then they'll come here and vent their frustrations. Ooh, er, ..............isn't that what this thread's about!
