  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.

  Documentary About The Flood and Noah's Ark

  by Blue Grass in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  about a week or two ago i watched a documentary about the flood in noah's day entitled "in search of noah's ark".

  two things i found very interesting in this program is a theory that one person had about how they believed the flood was caused due to a meteor hitting the ocean creating a tsunami that flooded the entire earth.

  scientist were unanimous in their view that this is a very plausible scenario and that there is no way to rule this possibility out.

  A Question for Blue Grass

  by marmot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  since i noticed you seem to take particular offense at atheism or anything that contradicts a literal interpretation of the bible, could you explain to me your view of noah's flood?.

  .

  because that's the fable that made me stop believing in the god of the bible..

  Tower Of Babel

  by Blue Grass in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  note:this was a post i made on another thread but i felt it was off topic so i giving it it's own thread.. someone(who i can't remember) on a thread(which i can't remember) said the tower of babel story is proven false because some languages evolved from others and thus that was another strike against the bible as being fiction.

  however this person doesn't realize that there are languages on this earth that has absolutely no relation whatsoever such as chinese-english, spanish-arabic, greek-xhosa, etc.

  not to mention all of the ancient languages that are now extinct due to invading countries forcing their own language on other countries.

  Another WTF moment...............

  by Vachi 8 He Is in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well a few actually......so i'm sitting in the we'redumb hall today, and the core of the topic is recognizing gods qualities through jesus actions and also how jesus spent eons of time with god learning what his father does.

  i gotta question: what purpose does that serve?

  is god preparing jesus to do something that he himself is tired of or is no longer able to do?

  A Dating Site For Jehovah's Witnesses?!

  by Blue Grass in

  2. beliefs

  i discovered a site called www.jwmatch.com which have pictures of individuals claiming to be jws looking for others jws to date.

  based on the watchtower's anti internet stance and meeting people online, i doubt this website is real.

  has anyone else seen this site?

  Relapse: I'm considering returning to the Kingdom Hall.

  by Blue Grass in

  2. beliefs

  i'm a long time lurking of this site(2 years) and a first time poster.

  to provide a little background of myself i was not raised as a witness but started studying when i was 19 and got baptized at age 21. a few months after i was baptized i left due to the constant worship of the faithful and discreet slave and the lack of emphasis on christ.

  for reasons i'm not sure about yet i decided to attend the district convention last week.
