i would like to thank william powell,jgnat,rabbit and shera for making me feel welcome my first day here and not jumping to any paranoid conclusions because i have lurked here for a while and had to change my old alias because for some reason it would not log in.lol.

( i got some very strange responses my first day here).

i was also the laugh of the place for a few people here because i accidentally resurrected a very old post (couldnt see the itty bitty tiny numbers of the date)i guess they did not notice (except for one) that i was a newbie and i am getting use to the features here.i guess they forgot what its like to be new.. .

i was thinking of ths question the other day, and wondered if any of you here may have an answer.

why is it that spanish brothers and sisters have more zeal, than non-spanish congregations?

our kingdom hall has 1 spanish speaking congregation, the one i am in is english.

RR has a good point.

The spanish congregations were *definitely* more in tune with the society,s rules than the english speaking congregations.With them there is NO but,s,,,but my point was they were much much warmer.I never felt alone there even when I could only speak a few words of spanish everyone made me feel so welcome.I did not get that kind of hospitality extended to me from the english speaking congs.It was cold as ice.

Hi Gumby

There are lots of toughies I imagine.

But one thing you WONT see me doing is "going at it" as you put it with other posters,I also dont try to PROVE myself. I did that for years in the organization and it got me nowhere.The only person I have to prove anything to is myself. :)

While a good healthy DEBATE is cool I dont get into mudslinging matches.I came here looking for like minds and some support.I think thats why everyone is here.Besides Life is way too short.I think its too bad some people like to watch and engage in fights on forums(Been on forums for 3 years and I,ve seen it all)you only make yourself look silly and no one wins.You may win the argument so to speak but lose respect. Im just not into it. :)

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Sunspot.

Thanks,on the other forums I get notified of replies when someone responds to my posts.Its sure handy to have because it can be crazy trying to keep up with the conversations without it.I thought I was going crazy because because I couldnt find the feature,Now I know they dont have it.

Nice to meetcha!

Hi Ballistic.

Im not trying to make anyone uncomfortable,I dont stereotype,but Im not the type to walk on eggshells in this politically correct madhouse either.

Sure SOME families are falling apart in Europe but no where like in North America,also the breakdown of the family unit in Europe only started when things got North Americanized,the value,s (or lack therof) rubbed off over time.The MacDonalds popped up all over the place,(versus the fine dining that Europeans enjoy)the 2 hour lunches declined and Europeans were more in a rush.

That statement may tick of some people.

Again I dont stereotype but I dont walk on eggshells either.

There IS a BIG difference in Europe and North America,thats just fact.

There are different cultures all across the world.Thats just a fact.

I happen to LOVE the differences!

I LOVE diversity and variety!

Ann.
