  Why are Canadians envious of Americans?

  by Oroborus21 in

  2. friends

  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.".

  (((((((((Essie))))))))))))))). I know exactly how livid you are. It ceases to amaze me how despicable

  these people can be. And in their self-righteous way they believe they are doing the right thing, and see nothing wrong with it. The "seeing nothing wrong with it", really really urks me. Sounds like your family is as back stabbing as mine.

  My mom has done some behind the back things with my daughters and I, which really put a wedge between my daughters and I. It's a long story, If you want to hear it you can personal message me and I'd be happy to tell you my experiences with these devious minded wandering in the dark dubs.

  I finally cut off ties with my family last year, it got to a point I couldn't trust my mom with my own daughter. I had it out with my mom, told her exactly the way I felt, and if she every wanted to see her grandchildren again, she would have to phone me and abide by my wishes, my words to her were "I can't trust you as far as I could throw you, your a lying snake in the grass". Pretty strong words to tell a mom, but I was at the end of my rope with her.

  A prisoner escapes from prison where he had been kept for 15 years. As he runs away, he finds a house and breaks into it. He finds a young couple in bed. He gets the guy out of bed, ties him up on a chair, ties up the woman to the bed, gets on top of her, kisses her on the neck, then gets up and goes to the bathroom. While he is there, the husband tells his wife: "Listen, this guy is a prisoner, look at his clothes! He probably spent a lot of time in prison, and has not seen a woman in years. I saw the way he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, just do what he tells you, give him satisfaction. This guy must be dangerous, if he gets angry, he will kill us. Be strong honey. I love you." To which the wife responds, "He was not kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he found you very sexy, and asked if we kept any Vaseline in the bathroom. Be strong, honey. Love you too."

  Oh I have to add this.

  When I was attending the meetings, there was an older sister and her daughter who attended. The father was an unbeliever. This daughter was so hen pecked by her mother. She was one of those older sisters who wouldn't mind their own business, there were numerous times she would phone my mom and harass her because my mom was neglecting my grandmother, blah, blah, blah. I use to get so annoyed when she would call. Anyway, to make a long story short, I recently saw this older sister and her daughter out shopping, this daughter must be at least 50 now, she hangs her head like a little puppy, she looks like shit, has never had a man EVER in her life, and she's still with her mommy. She's a poor pathetic soul that has never known joy in her life (like being with a man).

  Get my point.

  I hope this helps you to get a backbone.

  Love,

  from a mom who cares about you.

  Nickey, I have a 23 year old daughter who lives away from home in the city of Toronto, which I think is a dangerous place also, as it is a big city. I do worry about her, but she takes care of herself. She has her own apartment, is attending college and doing very well for herself. She has been there since she was 19.

  At 22 Nickey, you are not a child, you can think for yourself, don't let your family belittle you like they have been doing. Stand on your own two feet and do what makes you happy. I hate this control b.s. that the dubs have.

  that's my 2 cents worth.

  A second walk down the aisle is much better than the first walk.

  My first was a jw disastrous marriage too. I was married to this jerk for two years, ended getting pregnant, he needed his space so I left the loser and went back home to Canada. He had left the religion after our divorce but didn't stay out long and came back to it. So he now lives way down in North Carolina. He never wanted anything to do with our daughter until she turned 18 years old (now that he doesn't have to pay support for her), but that's a whole different story.

  Anyway the second walk is much nicer, I married my best friend, the love of my life, he is a wonderful man. We do have our ups and downs, like all marriages but we will be celebrating 20 years of marriage next year, so we must be doing something right

  Congratulations!

  how many of you, go to the occasional meeting?

  i no longer believe any of the things i was raised to believe... but for some reason i still go to the occasional meeting and i even went to the special assembly last weekend (even though i got there after lunch).

  i guess it will take a while to completely break away but i was wondering if anyone else is in this situation.

  Welcome Girl on the Fence.

  You have to decide to jump off that fence, and join on us on the "dark side" At least that's what the dubs want to believe that we are doomed now.

  My hubby and I stopped going very abruptly in 1994 and I have not set foot back into that hall since (except for a funeral, to pay my respects).

  When you finally make that decision, most of the load of this world will be taken off your shoulders. It's amazing how free you feel when you finally make the break.

  Ya gotta do it cold turkey

  love

  Hey Dansk, how about no sooner that you sit down in the loo, having kids knocking on the door. That's annoying too.

  Since your so busy with the cause now, maybe you do need a phone in the loo.

  Ha, Just Kidding

  So glad you could join us.

  Once your on this board for a while you'll realize you are not alone in your observations of the dubs

  I was lead to believe, by my own thoughts, that the only way to be happy was to be in the truth.

  That is so, true, they usually go after the weak ones at the door that need the support they are willing to give at the time just to draw you in, once your in, and then start having problems later on, they drop you like a hot potato.

  And Freaks.

  Glad to have you here.
