  Why Do people think they need A GOD to be good people?

  by LucyA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i decided after much study and soul searching that i dont believe in god.

  ive noticed recently (not on the forum but others) some people seem to think that if i dont believe in a god that im obviously morally bankrupt.

  i dont feel this way as i give a portion of my income to charity and i have never set out to harm anyone else.

  i'm curious how many of you gals get excited about tools?

  i just love having the right tool for the job.

  i got an excellent socket set and tool box full of stuff for xmas a couple of years ago, but i keep discovering cool stuff that i want.

  On spanking your children...

  by HintOfLime in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i posted about this on my own website, but i'd like to get thoughts here as well, since jw's are big proponents of the 'violence is the answer' side of this debate.. new research is suggesting that spanking children may result in lowered iq's.

  (la times article) one hypothosis i've read elsewhere as to why this may be is because when faced with an unexpected result (the glass broke) the non-spanked child wonders why the glass broke and how much abuse a glass can take before breaking (essentually, the problem-solving/scientific parts of the mind find the unexpected result interesting, and want to learn more).

  the spanked child immediately enters fear mode - he's in trouble, his parents will be dealing him pain soon.

  I question the validity of IQ tests, they are typically geared to the "middle class", there have been studies correlating "spanking" with educational and socio-economic status, therefore IQ might not be the result of spanking, although there is an obvious correlation.

  may you have peace!

  because you have not made any responsive comment in issues where i have adressed you, i am thinking that perhaps we should take this particular issue to its own thread, if you will accommodate me.

  Phillip, Are you able to form an argument without using the Watchtower? Thus far all I have seen from your responses is cut and pasted from the watchtower. I would say that many here are very familiar with the Watchtower, however they are using their own ability to reason in executing their responses to you.

  Trolling the Obits

  by megs in

  so, a poster here stated that he trolls the obits and counts his time while doing it.

  anyone else here engage in this behavior when active?

  or is he amongst the more "special" members of your average congregation?.
