  Did You Overly Discipline Your Kids Because Of Being A Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i knew a lot of jws that "beat" their child with the "rod" as a preferred "scriptural" form of punishment.

  corporal punishment was the norm while growing up......were you given the "rod" often?

  did you overly discipline your children??

  Yes, I know I did and am ashamed of it to this day. I am a lot more tolerant to our grandchildren.

  Our one daughter always says "wow" things have sure changed since I was a kid!

  how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?

  do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?

  i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.

  I would make sure his wife knows about you and your future baby. Then she might cause him make a decision. He does not deserve the best of two worlds.

  Thanks Blonde and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  One day out of 364 people think of Christ.

  When are JW's going to start, they even reject him on the day of his death.

  Annual visits to DF'd ones

  by JK666 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been disfellowshipped since 2001. does the society still recommend that elders make annual visits to encourage people to come back?

  just wondering, as i never have received one.

  i do not want to go back, just wondering if this is just another lie about their fake compassion and love.

  I was df'd in 1980 (not for apostacy) that is 26 years ago and have never had a visit from any elders.

  Only 2 times in that 26 years has a JW come to our door. We are on the do not call list so even the 2

  that came must have not read the territory card that says "do not call" The latest was the false religion

  tract that was left with my wife. I wished I had been there because I have a lot of questions for them.
