If they want to treat you like shit, and shun you, and not go to your wedding, and write "4-declined" in response to your wedding invitation, and generally act like nasty horrible cretins but expect you to send them pictures, well excuse me but screw them!!

They need to know that it is NOT ok to treat you like garbage and emotionally blackmail you. If they wanted pictures, they should have gone to their own daughter's wedding. The nerve! God Andi, I don't know how you have become such a nice person with family like that.

If that were my family, I would have told them to sit and spin.

gcc2k I apologize, please accept- james

i would like to apologize for coming off so hard on you.

i really fell into doing what i have often told others not to do and that is to dog a new person on the net- sometimes one gets carried away esp after one has done the level of research on the org that myself and many many many others have done.

so sometime when a person like yourself comes on the net and makes a comment about the org, that we know is not true - instead of helping you or anyone else to see where we got our info and and more importantly allowing a person to digest this info.

I agree. JT, you are the coolest.

Why are Canadians envious of Americans?

by Oroborus21 in

the whole discussion on "america" made me wonder the above.. by the way the war of 1812 wasn't against canadians but against the brits and won by americans after the battle of new orleans--which inspired one of the funniest lines in folk music, penned by jimmy driftwood and sung by the great johnny horton:.

..."we fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.. so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.. we filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind.

and when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.".

((((((((((((my Canadian friends))))))))))))) Half of my family is Canadian. The Canadian contingent of my family is not envious of us, and the other half of my family from the States does not think that we are in any way superior to them. These threads are laughable.

but i was so wrong!

my daughter just got home.

you all know i dressed her up, painted her nails, curled her hair, and sent her off to my favorite cousin's wedding.

Wow.

I would have said "Unbelievable," but these are jehovah's Witnesses you are dealing with. Unfortunately, despicable acts like the one they pulled on you are par for the course with the jehovah's Witnesses. (((((((((((Essie)))))))))))) I'm so glad that you plan on keeping your daughter away from these untrustworthy backstabbers.

What Do The English & Australians Think Of Americans On This Board???

by minimus in

jw

it seems to me that this board's force comes mainly from our english and aussie friends.

i've read comments that some have gotten annoyed that the society and gb seem to only stress the "american" english in their style of writing.

i'm just curious as to what you think of your american brethren.

riz

great post, Dede. I like how you handle difficult people in such a diplomatic way. I'm not as patient as you are, that's for sure.

Prisca, I don't know the reasons behind why you say what you do about the Americans on this board and Americans in general, but it is very tiresome to see nothing but negativity coming from you about us.

I know that nothing any of us say to you will change your mind, but honestly. We get the point. Do you really need to jump in at every possible opportunity to get a dig in? My government does things that I absolutely do not agree with. Do I personally have anything to do with the choices that my government makes? NO. I don't know why you need to have it explained to you, but the fact is that the government of the United States is not representative of all of its citizens.

Maybe you just like to pick fights. I don't understand why you have to constantly say the things that you say.

You are the most vocal Australian here. I know Ozziepost is vocal too, but he doesn't go around picking fights at every given opportunity. You basically say that you get an idea of what all Americans are like based on some Americans on this forum. My point is this. What you are doing is tantamount to a poster deciding he didn't like your attitude so he was going to unrelentingly blast Australia and all of its citizens based on only his dislike for Prisca.

Please, cease and desist. You are only making yourself look bad.

Hands up those who don't give a rats arse about religion / spirituality.

.

is it just me, or there others who have no room for religion in their lives?.

i appreciate that others are entitled to their beliefs and opinions concerning such beliefs, but i am amazed at the number of posters, who, after years of being oppressed and mislead by religion, still manage to garner some sense from the whole notion of god / religion / spirituality.. cheeses the cynic.

riz

I don't give a rat's ass about religion or spirituality either.
