  Husbands! Smack your wife across the mouth!

  by PopeOfEruke in

  great advice received from a close jw relative who we visited last week.

  she said that husbands are the head of the family, and if the wife doesn't support him in serving jehovah then he should give her a good smack across the mouth, thats what she deserves.

  if only adam had given eve a good smack across the mouth when she proposed eating the fruit, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!

  In the course of investigations related to JW abuse litigation, i spoke with SCORES of women who were married to repeat offenders who 'confessed' to elders; the wives were NEVER told, even when they had children in the house the same age/sex as the kids who were victimized. Many of the perps were physically abusive to keep wife in line and keep her mouth shut.

  If the powers that be would fail to protect other kids from sexual abuse at the hands of repeat offenders, why would they care if wife gets slapped around a bit?

  Updates on Hurricane Rita's progress, etc.

  i decided to start a new thread on this topicokay, yall.

  rita is packin' 170 mph winds with gusts, but has taken a slightly eastward turn, so we'll be on the west side of the eye, which means we won't be getting the worst of it.

  but now they're calling for mandatory evacuation of beaumont and jefferson county, where crabby pants is, and they're gonna be getting the worst side of it there, along with bunches of tornadoes.

  you are twice as likely to be assaulted in certain commonwealth countries than in the good old us of a!.

  however, this was a telephone poll of victims ... i guess if you've been shot you wouldn't have answered the phone .

  Yesterday i gave legal advice to an 5th generation single parent welfare mom.

  She has access to free GED programs, free skill-building programs, free 'at-home employment' programs, but chooses to not. She is quite intelligent, and freely admits she'd rather take the freebies than work (in any way) to change her situation.

  She is white.

  I don't think this is a racial issue.

  I regularly help Hispanics with legal issues, but never the same sort. Hispanics have an INCREDIBLE work ethic; at least those to whom i am exposed. They have less money, but pass on an ethic to their children.

  Just my experience...

  I have worked with junior hi and hi school kids in the inner city of 3 metropolitan areas since 1987.

  I serve on the board of two organizations providing free legal aid to those who can't pay.

  My experience tracks with that of Lifer.

  Nothing takes the place of personal responsibility... When it's not passed on generationally, humans sink into apathy.

  One question.. If one of those people who have always been underprivileged and were born into a poor ghetto life and know no other way but violence and crime commits an act of violence, is that behavior excused or do they still have to answer for it just like anyone else? Its not their fault after all.

  Uhhh.. no. Because speech is still free in America, while an act of violence is prosecuted as a crime.

  I just think a lot of people waste time and energy focusing on JUST the negative, when there are so many other needs that need to be fulfilled and the aren't because people are too busy arguing. That's all. I'm not pointing a finger at you personally...but everyone in the midst of tragedy and chaos could use a little grace. I know I need it. I covet it. I'll ask for it if the situation arises. Perhaps even in this thread? I give it wherever I possibly can. EXACTLY... Rather than dissecting the inartful statements of a former first lady (who had no personal responsibility for either the disaster itself or response thereto), why not work to meet the needs of those who were harmed? In my experience, MANY talk, few act.

  got a phone call from my daughter who lives in florida a couple of hours ago.

  her significant other who i chose to call my son-in-law (because he is the best thing to ever happen to her) got a phone call that his 6 year old daughter was killed in an auto accident near lake placid, florida and his 5 year old son is in very critical condition.

  the ex wife is also critical.
