What do Americans actually really know about???

by invisible in

what do americans in general actually really know about the big outside world outside of their own culture?.

it's certainly not just me, but for years since early childhood in fact, it has been commonly accepted by many, that americans in general are the biggest ignorant fools residing almost anywhere on the planet, yet they still do their damndest to have everyone believe what a great nation they are.

is it even beyond their comprehension how foolish they look often to the rest of the world, the fact that they have so little understanding of problems on the worldwide front?.

Please Mark, don't hold back, just tell us what you really think.

What got you all riled up today? Did some American do something that really pissed you off?

I am sure you are just upset so I will forgive you for stating that all Americans are ignorant and stupid. That is just not true and I am sure you are aware of that. Americans are simply proud of their nation and this may come through at times as arrogance. But then, aren't you just as proud of the United Kingdom? I wouldn't ever fault you for that.

So, my friend, please calm down. I wish you peace.

You are a Go Getter

Ambitious, focused, dedicated you're a true Go-Getter. Though you once may have been president of your high school class or editor of the college newspaper, these days you're likely to be found on your cell phone or making an appointment in your Palm Pilot. A short-skirted "Ally McBeal" business suit is your uniform of choice, which lots of men find quite sexy. Your sights are set on career, fame, and fortune, and you may not think you have time for a risky investment like love. Naturally, you attract guys who love a challenge they're desperate to close the deal and show you that you're wrong. They can probably relate to your insatiable desire to succeed, but want to prove that love is just one more thing at which you can excel.

Just How Much of NY City does the Org Own?

by Sentinel in

i've lost track of how the org is doing in ny city.

does anyone know how close their buildings are to the former twin towers?.

i've heard that they own quite a lot, perhaps as much as a fulll city block.

Dutchie

Proandcon, I am sure they are thought of as good neighbors in upstate New York and while their contributions may seem altruistic on their behalf, part of the reasoning behind their being such a good neighbor was to gain unhindered approval for the planned expansion work to their Wakill property. They have been outgrowing their present premises for quite some time and additional buildings are needed. What better way to assure swift approval of all the building permits required than to make friends and maintain relationships with those who can assist them in their long term goals?

My experience

by Ardilla in

i was only here before to chat with you, but i didn't tell my story.

i want to share it with you now and i would love to here your opinion.. my name is tamara and live in chile.

i was very young when i had many questions about life and god.

Dutchie

Hello Tamara. Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed reading your story very much and hope to hear more from you.

To your advantage, you got out of the organization while you are still young and you have many years to look forward to marriage and children and all the other things that a normal life has to offer. You surely will not become like some of the women in the Kingdom Hall who have given their whole lives to the organization and are unmarried and childless. There are many experiences on this board of people just like you, who were baptized but then had doubts about what they were doing. I am sure you will find experiences that match yours. You are not alone.

I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Love is hard to find sometimes and it often happens when we least expect it to. We have to make ourselves open to the possibilities of love, to explore life, to make mistakes, to learn from those mistakes.
