  Why I was a lurker for so long: because english is not my mother tongue

  by Madame in

  i often write on the swedish board for ex-jw: http://www.network54.com/forum/349340/.

  it's so much easier for me to write in swedish.

  it takes a lot of effort to find the right words in english.. i understand most of what i read here, but it means more hard work to try to express my thoughts in english.. anyway, i finally wanted you all to know that i appreciate this board.

  Hi Valkyrie, my Scandinavian neighbour. Now, I see why you understand Swedish, and other connected languages.

  Hugs, Madame

  Hi Juni!

  Well, the Swedish pronouciation differs a lot from the English one. But you might understand some of the written words, even if you don't know the right way to pronounce them.

  So you belong to the same "efterkrigsgeneration" (post war generation) as I do. Or should I say the pre 1975 generation? I mean: were you a JW in the sixties and the seventies, when that year was used to recruit more members to the organisation? I was! Too bad!

  Hugs, Madame

  Thanks for your help Valkyrie! Are you Swedish?

  Now I've got a flag and some personal details on the left side.

  Thanks InquiryMan for welcoming me. Do you plan to write something on Hjälpkällan as well?

  Thanks to all of you for your encouraging comments!

  And thanks to Tord, who I met on the Swedish board, where he calls himself Guran!

  Perhaps he is the first on this board to write in Swedish, "the language of honour och heroes"!

  Guran: hur får man till det med flagga och övriga personuppgifter i vänsterkanten?

  Well, I'll now and then will try to excercise my English here on the board.

  Love to you all from Madame in Sweden

  ...sort of.... there was a thread a few days ago that touched on the subject of time being relative to the observer.. i wondered, does the jwd clock that records the time that we make a post actually post the same time to everyone.. .

  i know that it can't get it's time from my pc clock as i see posts at say 8:55pm yet my pc clock says 8:53pm.. so.... what time (according to you) did i make this post ?.

  i make it ... 20:46. .

  Hello Narkissos!

  Thanks för your welcome.

  I left the organisation 25 years ago and i dont't have a recent Swedish NWT.

  My mother is a JW, so she has one. Maybe I could check something for you.

  Good night!

  21:46 swedish time, one hours difference between Sweden and UK seems correct.
