Spanking VS. Reasoning
by SpeedRacer ini 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 has been a very interesting thread to read. I'm old and was raised with a spank from time to time, mostly I think because I was a "smart aleck." I don't believe I suffered from it, and it certainly wasn't what some on here experienced... I remember my mom telling me that one time she saw me line up my dolls playing "meeting" and I would yell at them and beat the crap out of them, just copying what I saw at the KH. That clicked for her I guess that it was wrong.
I don't believe people had the tools and the understanding of alternative ways to discipline back in the day. Now there is plenty of practical advice and ways to to access it. I don't believe it is necessary at all to hit another human being. I think one of the "Nanny" shows was very instructive about discipline, and highlighted that when kids act out they usually just need attention. So she always had the parents make sure they scheduled undistracted/uninterrupted personal time for their kids.

the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.
by Crazyguy inmy question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.
also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

The amount of fresh water from that much rain and what it would do to the ecosystem is what got me. It's just a story. Like Green Eggs and Ham.

Actually, you can't ever trust the WBTS stats. They never have and never will present the actual numbers. I knew somebody in the Service Department who confirmed this, and to them it wasn't a bad thing...it's just how they report!
For one, publishing hours are now deluded with RBC work probably up to 50% of the numbers reported, (to the delight of many in the hall). That is just the obvious one everybody knows about.

You know!
by SpeedRacer ina particularly fat and ugly woman walks into a pet store to buy her pit bull some dog food.
she passes a huge parrot on an open stand as she walks down the dog food isle.
as she is looking through the dog food brands she hears a pssssst......then another psssst... behind her.

Reverse Shunning
by exwhyzee insometing happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.
it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.
there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

Well done XYZ! You took control of the situation, nothing confuses a JW more I have found. They expect us to be contrite and to cower in their presence...which is how they are told to be if they are found to be "wrong doing." Instead, you are confident, happy, doing well, and told them where they were wrong. Ha!
Excellent...and I bet you feel great! And I bet they will be thinking about this encounter for a loooong while to come. Hugs to Mrs. XYZ

Weird. Just played some Crusaders a few minutes ago. Wilton has been very ill as well, I heard.
Like they say, "Put it Where you Want It." RIP Joe.
