Spare the rod and spoil the child?

by Marilyn in

i saw a report on tv just now of how two baptist mininisters beat the living daylights out of some kid for not attending the correct bible class.

the kid suffered kidney damage and the ministers have been arrested.

this reminded me of how my jw brother used to take his boys out the back and beat them black and blue every time his patience ran out with them for not sitting still for 2+ hours.

Incense: you know, before i went to China, I totally agreed with your viewpoint about spanking. My parents spanked me waaaaay too much. And I still agree with your viewpoint to an extent. I changed this b/c there are exceptions to the rule.

As you (and a couple of other posters) know thru email but others on this board don't, that I have a 12-year old (he turns 13 this September)stepson, who thankfully doesn't live with me anymore. This kid will not respond to lectures, discussions, feedback, depirval of priviledges, etc. And he will attack you if let your gaurd down. For those who don't know, he tried to ram a pair of chopsticks up my ear b/c I would let him play on the computer. This was in response to his pissing on the floor 8 days straight b/c his mom wouldn't buy him a Gameboy. When I realized he was going to ram the chopsticks up my ear, I had to fight back. i feel guilty/bad for this, but I figure if a then-almost-12 year old is going try to kill you....

If I had known he was going to be like this, I defintiely wouldn't have married his mother. (He didn't live with us in America when she and I first married or even when we were dating.)

If i ever have kids (and it won't be with my wife, that's for sure), I will definitely not spoil them and will try to find a way without spanking to deal with undesirable behavior.

I got incense giving me kisses....joannadandy throws panties at me now...and spice is inquiring into my fluffiness....

hmm, methinks, slipnslidemaster will be jealous. I would be if i wasn't me.

is it just me or..... 1. do the vast majority of the "good" females in the jw publications look like they stepped out of the martha stewart-wannabe/betty crocker/beaver's mom mold?

and the bad "girls" look like some cheesy bad girl from a chessy 80s movie?.

2. did i see a lack of interracial couples/families in the jw pubs?

dustrabbit

hell, I guess I just made tease status....I'm a studly nerd now, i guess.

ZenPunk Exactly, my point. I grew not seeing something the literature that reflect my daily life. Okay, how many of you have seen hispanic/white couples at the KH or the conventions, but have never seen one in a DUB publication?
It's as if there's a secret message there in the pubs: The interracial harmony is not extended to married/dating couples. The romantic couples don't exist...or at least that's how it appeared to me until the abovementioned Awake I saw at the bus stop in 1997. I remembered thinking, "How ironic." B/c in Utah I saw a lot of Mormon white guys with Asian wives/gfs b/c they thought Asian women exemplified what was a good Christian wife. (Sumissive? Stay at home and have the kids? I'll beat her and she'll take it?) Hmmm....so I wasn't really surprised when I the couple in the magazine...just religius cult adopting more racial-sexual stereotypes. Actually, almost all the Mormon White guys I knew back in Utah that were hooked up with Asian women, were the kind of white guys white women pushed off to the side.

just my .02 dollars.

SEX SEX SEX SEX & MORE SEX

by Perfection Seeker in

ok, now that i have your attention................................... it seems like most of the witnesses i know, and who have posted here, say their parents kept them in the dark about sex.

do you agree?

my parents never discussed it at all- in fact- if they did- or saw a love scene on tv- my mom would always say "thats disgusting' (yeah, right mom) .

SYN: How was it different, hmm? Inquiring minds want to know....

a short story by the dustrabbit

by dustrabbit in

hi folks,.

here is a story that i want to include in my short story collection.

"gettin' out" has been published already in a small college literary magazine.

Hey, in the Frenchy thread about the poor guy in the remote territory, I noticed somebody mentioned why wasn't there a book of essays from JW.com.

Here's my idea: Why not do an eBook of it...I'd be willing to be the editor-in-chief.

the congregation i belong to is small and most of its territory is in the rurals.

there is one territory in particular that is some distance from the hall and so it does not get worked as often as the closer ones.

then he said: "i cant talk to you people, you dont believe in hell" .

dustrabbit

Yeah, why not present the best of JW.com in Ebook format?

I'd dig that. In fact, I'd be willing to be the editor in chief if this project ever got off the ground.

Poor LE...gives a sypathetic pat on the shoulder...

Re the song book incident: Well, after that, I never got a stiffie in public ever again.

Added: Luckily, we were in the overflow basement room and in the back with a baby crying its head off...so I don't think too many people knew that this happened...but it was embarassing to say the least.
