MsMcDucket's mom
by parakeet inmsmcducket's mother died this morning.
she posted the announcement deep in a thread she had started several months ago when her mother first became seriously ill, and as a result the post sort of got lost.
msmcducket, i hope you don't mind my taking the initiative to start a new thread about your mom.

Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child?
by Sailor Ripley innot sure if this has been posted before, but i'm wondering, since i have a two-yr-old and she has friends that are bad (scream, fits, say "no" a lot, hit, kick, whatever) and no one seems to care.
we get a note yesterday from her mommy-day-out about "discipline vs.
punishment.

I think you are right........A tap on the rear to get their attention is a method we believe in. I would never smack my kids though...never use a paddle....and don't want anyone else spanking them. As for people who have bratty kids because they let them do whatever they want....well, they will be dealing with those bratty kids the rest of their lives.....so they get their karma there! I think some kids are sensitive enough to just be able to talk to them and have it work as well as a pop on the rear.

That is terrible! What kind of store do you have? Could you get a dog to protect it? Have they caught the robbers on any occasion?

I loved the advice from On the way out.....You do have to do something to keep your sanity. I have never been to a meeting since I was DA'd. I did go to a memorial once with my DF'd friend and her parents are JW's. It was like EVERYONE knew about us and no one made eye contact either. But, I did look at them all with their FAKE smiles and had a very hard time not LAUGHING MY AS$ OFF!! Hang in there!

Elders with STRONG personalities....
by JH inthere is an elder in my congregation that has a very strong personality.
he drove volkswagens and many bought the same make as he did.
we had another elder back then that drove a dodge aries and another elder who had a peugeot garage and he sold so many second hand peugeots to members of the congregation.

I remember one that drove all the other elders that could switch halls to do so. If we had a "get together", he would always be so highly competitive that he would YELL at little kids for missing a volleyball....in a nice family challenge! He would also say to you when he had you in the "back room" Now...this is just what I feel you should do, but I believe I have Jehovah's holy spirit.

Hi Everyone
by Stezza ini have been reading here for a while but as you may of noticed the assembly games post has flushed me out!
it has been fascinating to read all your experiences and to know that the stuff that i thought was odd, was thought odd by others as well.. two things made me leave:.
1. i found i could not do return visits as i did not want to break up families.
