  Does the bible say there is only life on earth?

  by ButtLight in

  or just that god created life on earth?

  i like to watch shows about ufo"s and aliens.

  i personally think they exist simply cause so many people have seen then all over the world and i know people who have seen them.

  I actually asked an elder about this, he told me that just because life on other planets is not mentioned in the bible doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that its not important to us at the moment.

  Discipline or Child Abuse?

  by Dimples in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i remember spanking my son when we used to attend meetings and conventions because he cried and just wouln't sit still.

  i was told that he had to be disciplined so he would learn to behave and learn what was being said from the platform.

  now that i look back i realize that that was child abuse and i feel so horrible about it.do you feel guilty for spanking your kids during meetings and conventions?

  I was spanked as a child, well no, spanked is too soft a word to use, I was beaten as a child, and I really don't think it did any good, it just made me resent my parents and their stupid rules.

  I have a 2 year old daughter now, I have in the past given her a tap on the leg or on the hand but I hated myself for doing it, and it didn't make her behave either.

  I've been reading a couple of self help books on how to discipline kids and I've discovered the 'ignore bad behaviour, reward good behaviour' technique, its working brilliantly, my little girl is happy and so am I, I don't need to feel guilty anymore and I dont even need to shout much.

  I really can't stand people who think its ok to assault their kids, what good do they think its going to do?

  do you feel that you are still bitter towards jw's?

  or do you feel that you are better off without them?

  maybe you feel both bitter and better?.

  I wouldn't say that I'm bitter, infact I don't really care anymore unless someone tries to witness to me, that really gets my goat up, it makes me want to shake some sense into them.

  I don't really like to say that I am better than them but I know I am probably a kinder more open person than most.
