  The French... Why do they hate us?

  by email in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've been talking about this lately on this board... this is yet another article from msn.com.. http://slate.msn.com/id/2077874/.

  "much of the french opposition to american power arose after the fall of the soviet union made the united states the only power in a unipolar world: according to one poll, the percentage of the french who viewed the united states "with sympathy" dropped from 54 to 35 percent between 1988 and 1996. but french grumbling over u.s. power predates the end of the cold war, too.

  as philip h. gordon outlined in the national interest in 2000 (during the clinton administration), "resentment and frustration" have marked french-american relations since the end of world war ii.

  Mac, are you implying that French people smell bad, or don't take showers or don't use deodorant, or what

  The French do not hate Americans. But I wonder, reading all these posts lately, if the Americans do hate the French, and why ? The french government has different ideas about going to war in Iraq than the United States, or more correctly, Bush and his government. That doesn't make the 65 millions French men, women and children in France American haters....

  3 generaition JWs

  by happy man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i read on this board this come to my mind.. my parents come in to the jw religion in the early 50 ties, the are what you can say very devoted jw, how are apsolutly loyal to the organisaition.

  i think most of them have a nice life, they have learnd a lot o diffrent peopel, in sevice fore exampel, they have travel a lot , been on assambleys , have a lot of resposabilyti in the organisaition, and most of them are 70-80 year old now, they are still the ones how hold upp the diffrent congs, in many placeses.this is what i called first gen jw.. we as are there children was growing upp inn the truth, we was told this is the only religion, and it was no qestion, we must walk ther way, we was told we are living in the last generation, and so on, most of us in my generation follow our parents, i think 90 %, i see that a lot of peopel here is from this second gen jw,some have been very dissapointed, and leave , after serving alomost ther hole life in the organisation, perhaps some never study so much , was beliving what the parents say, and when something happend like this gen thing or 75, or bigger control , and harder dfd system.

  some started to read a lot, and find things they never seen before, like all this 1925, 1944, prediktions, and also perhaps 1914 and what realy was said about that, or not said.. but a lot of 2 gen jw are still in, and try to do the best of situation like myself.. then we have third gen jw, our children, now start the problems, when we was young, it was not so comen to qestion your parents, suddenly this change, we find that our children was qestion evrything, and we have a very hard time to answer, the result is that a lot of 3 gen jw never was jw, or left wery young, in our cong we have 20 % left and 80 gone, myself of 5 children 3 are away, only one inn.. well how now whats best, one thing is clear, we as second gen was in some way forced in, it was not so easy fore us to say now, it was almost deadly sin to qestion things, i can not complain, fore me this life have been radher good, if i compare it widh what life my friends from the word have going truh.

  HappyMan,

  What are you trying to tell us ? That there is no better place to be than in a Kingdom Hall ? That only by going to JW conventions and assemblies you can have real friends ?

  Jehovah Witnesses watching TV tonight

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the active jw's watching tv tonight will be surprised when they see themselves in the spotlight.

  how do you think the average jw will react when watching the program?

  will they think that it's all lies, or do you think they will believe a good part of it?

  Gosh this sounds amazing. I hope I can get a video copy of the program...

  Sometimes they have used the media to spread distorted information or even outright lies about the methods and motives of Jehovah's Witnesses...."

  Isn't it something...... When the media investigate the JWs, it's all lies and distorted information... But when the media uncovers the scandal in the Catholic church, it's all true....

  well, that was awesome.

  it had powerful emotional impact, and male witnesses won't be well received at the door.

  i think the molester in the sault will not be very welcome at doors in his community after this.

  I have not watched this program on TV and I don't know how good of a job she's doing and if the cases she takes on are legitimate. But I would think so. Has anyone seen Final Justice ?
