  An average Americans view of the French people

  by Maverick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have just returned from spending a week in the company of frenchbabyface, (fbf) and would like to share some basic observation that i feel will enlighten my fellow countrymen and women about a people we, as a culture, actually know very little about.

  i do believe the medias of both countries do not show their people an honest and forthright view of the other countries people.

  the american media gives us almost no news of france and most of what we do get is not very positive.

  It is true that generally the French despise the ordinary and I suspect it is here that most people confuse a respect of uniqueness with a display of arrogance. I have to agree with French thinking, being ordinary is nothing to be proud of, and being ordinary *and* proud is an offence against humanity.

  HS

  Sorry HS but your statement is quite offensive ..........(ok, mine my have been too so I apologise to all Frenchies out there) .......but if you are not ordinary you must be something special ? .........Does that sound familiar (JW's).

  I'm ordinary and proud of it, that doesn't mean I can't achieve and contribute.....does it? If your ordinary and achieve ...that really is something to be proud of (proud not arrogant).

  Too many people think they are something special in this world and your comment doen't help

  Kind regards

  if you keep picking your nose, your nostrils will get as big as a horse's!.

  we can use your face for a halloween mask if it freezes suddenly with that expression on it.. how would you feel if your sister died after you said such awful things to her?

  (this following a normal, sibling scuffle).

  My mother used to say to me when I was a kid...."If you don't stop looking in the mirror, one day you'll see the devil standing behind you !".........That has not left me all these years on, I still look over my shoulder sometimes!!. (She was not a JW)

  Guess I was a vain kid ???

  Hello All,

  Just like to say how interesting the posts are on here. I was very sceptical first but its interesting reading and I can understand how many feel with their views of JW's.

  I/we went to the meeting on sunday, first time for 4 weeks. Heard a talk about "wisdom", we (wifey and I.......she'll kill me when she see's me call her that ........sorry lover xxxx !) couldn't believe how the speaker pointedly remarked to the unwise brothers and sisters who believed the 1975 bit ! He made out that the society had NEVER at all indicated about the 1975 situated it was purley "unwise" persons.

  After reading, on here, how widespread and from the society this was, I'm amazed. We...lover & I... don't have any literature going back that far but does anyone have anything they could post me ??...it would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Interesting question, ............. my wife and I never drank, apart from the odd one at weekends, until we joined a new congregation which was a little "well to do" that is , many had money and good jobs.

  Before we realised we were drinking every night which was (and still is) acceptable, all part of being in the center of the cong !

  We had no alcoholics (that I knew off) but plenty of heavy drinkers, men & women. I believe most of the congs with money in the UK are very similar in this regard.
