i am having a discussion at work with the jw's.
should you spank a child to make them understand or do you reason with them.
they both agree with spanking.
This is one of the statements and arguments my JW coworker came up with. Look how the children of the world are growing up and how much trouble they get into because of lack of discipline and spanking. The bible says........
It has been my experience while visiting my boys in school that the kids are very well behaved. Sitting in the cafeteria you could hear nothing but whispers and munching. I remember lunch a little bit differently in my day. It was pretty wild.

Ditto Cofty! Your doing nothing more then causing pain in a child to get what you want. Or even worse your pissed off when you do it. There are way better ways of dealing with a children.
I remember my folks used to make us put our nose in the corner. As in touching the corner or they would draw a circle on the wall and make us put our noses on it. Hated that worse then spanking when you had to spend 30 minutes with your back aching. But then again if we didnt keep our noses on the spot we got a whipping.

I was lightly beaten if you can call it that. The typical bumping arms and fighting over an armrest was enough for all four of us to form a swat line on the couch at home after the meeting. They would never do it at the hall but we knew we were toast when we got home.
Thanks everyonel for the posts. I find your comments are amazing. I wish now looking back, I had broken the cycle.

I am having a discussion at work with the JW's. Should you spank a child to make them understand or do you reason with them. They both agree with spanking. I have two grown sons that I raised alone. My youngest was a holy terror and the oldest was great. Both made it through college with top grades. I spanked them both , and especially my youngest. I am a huge opponent to spanking now. I actually went back and talked to both of my sons and apologized for ever laying a hand on them as my mother and father did me. Has your experience changed your heart and views on this subject.
Thanks,

wow i have a lot of anger hidden inside for the jw organization.
just had a conversation with a good friend and jw coworker.
j has 2 sisters that are disfellowshipped and he has been working on getting reinstated himself.
Personally I enjoy putting the head phones in, helmet on, and opening the throttle to clear the frustration of wanting to pummel someone.
Thanks Robert for the great info. I was just discussing with my wife last night about getting the Steve Hassan books on cult control. Will do!

Wow I have a lot of anger hidden inside for the JW organization. Just had a conversation with a good friend and JW coworker. J has 2 sisters that are disfellowshipped and he has been working on getting reinstated himself. He made the statement that shunning is just taken overboard by some and then said he doesnt assoiciate with his sisters so as to show them he does not agree with their life style and choices. He said that my folks where wrong in turning their backs on me when they visited the International convention in Arlington. I asked him how what he is doing is any different then what they did to me. He said I wasn't disfellowshipped so he could talk to me. I said he wasn't suppose to talk to opostates and he didnt even know what I was talking about. By having that conversation he should have classified me as an opostate. Talking about a blind eye. Felt the emotions coming to the surface and struggled to keep them under control so I could make valid points to him. I dont think I succeeded. I would think anger is a stage in all this eye opening.

i guess there are many, but what would be the strangest teaching, or "wackiest" ?.

God took a rib from man and made woman!
i thought to give a more comprehensive summary, however this pretty well sums up the entire wasted day.. stand and sing.. prayer thanking the gb.. only jw's will survive "the end".. do more.
preach more.
indoctrinate your children more.
Ducatijoe,
One bike ride is worth more then all of the assemblies put together. Kickstand up, lets go!

more than one thing for me, but i have learned to enjoy festivals, and just enjoying free time.
it's not that the org wouldn't allow it, i just felt i shouldn't.
there are others, of course, and i really have been happier and good things have come my way since i left.
I work with 4 JW's from cuba who are really great people. Just bigtime delusional! It is a reminder everytime I ask J (one of the cubans) to go riding with my buds and he says he has to go to the meetings. Sure would screw Thursday night bike night if I was still delusional myself.
