Thanks for that info. I did not know. I swear, I learned more about the bible and translations in the last two months than I have my whole life. Thanks for breaking it down for me. I do appreciate it.

In the copy of another bible translation this is what Prov. 23 13&14 says
"Don't fail to correct your children. They won't die if you spank them. Physical discipline may well save them from death."
I do believe there is a difference between a spanking and beating. imho

My wife stole my books!!!!
by dmouse ini had an interesting conversation with a jw last week, who insisted that she was not 'brainwashed' and would be prepared to look at any evidence i had that the 'truth' was not the one true truth.. so i went to my book cupboard to get my copies of 'crisis of conscience' and 'signs of the last days - when?
' in order to lend them to her.. and they are gone!!!!
i am absolutely certain they were there only a few weeks ago.. i can only assume that my jw wife (whom i'm not on the best of terms with) has taken them.

. Take him to court and demand that you remain in the house to look after the children.
Didn't you say your daughter is 14? Some judges will listen to children over the age of 12 as to who they want to live with. If your daughter wants to stay with you, I know each state is different, but it is an idea.

Believe me, if she does quit her job, nothing would please me more than to throw her out onto the mercy of the WBTS (who of course would look after her in her tribulation!)
Do they really take care of their own? I never saw it with my mom. When my dad died, they did not help her. You'd think they would have come over more than the night of the service, or something. The only ones I see taking care of the widows is other widows. And the fatherless boy? I only see other single moms getting together. Maybe one or two good hearted people, at least thats what I have seen. Or maybe the first month they will be good to her, then stop.
Sorry, had to add my two cents.

I was never baptized, but my mother and brother were. I was studying. I stopped in September. In my house was my Grandfather, my mother, myself, and my children. My Grandpop died in October. In the whole congregation, only 2 people came to see my Mom.(she has been baptized since 1983, and has missed maybe 2 meetings the whole time she has been baptized. it cut her to the quick) It was her dad. My father died last October. So it was hard for my mom. The two that came, would not even say hello to me. So I just sat in the room and stared at them. More of disbelief than anything. Then today two women who go to my mom's congregation would not even look at me in the store.
I don't get the whole shunning thing. My brother is inactive, and married that "evil girl"(non-jw) and is shunned. Mom never does though. I just don't get it. They look silly looking all over the place.

FAT PEOPLE = BAD ASSOCIATION
by Funchback ini carry a few extra pounds but i generally don't overeat.
however, i enjoy a good meal.
but, the organization that says, "let us not judge others" is giving it's members free reign to judge those who are overweight (in the judger's eyes).

Yes Faraon, you need to eat more. Chocolate, cakes and pies. Double desserts for you.

I just had to share how I rationalize my weight. For each child you have, you get 10 pound. I had 7 children, which moves my ideal weight from 140 lbs to 210 lbs. So technically, I am underweight.
Just thought I would share.

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 3 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Third Level of Hell!Third Level of Hell
In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws. -

Thanks for passing that on. The kids looked at me odd when I really did laugh out loud.
