  physical discipline

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  anybody's jw parents ever use that "don't spare the rod" song and dance as an excuse to beat the living shit out of you?

  my parents used to relish in the whole physical punishment thing.

  i guess the question i'm trying to get at is, do you think wts promotes and encourages physical violence in the home?

  awake!

  1973 march 22 pp.13-14 chess-what kind of game is it?

  the spirit of competition in chess may be stirred to fever pitch, which is reflected in chess players' attitudes and language.

  so they went from ignoring you completely to getting pushy and stalking you. hmm...psychologists have a term for that - it's called "passive/agressive" / which in my book describes them to a "T"...

  As a young kid how did you invision Armagedon?

  by PinTail in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as a kid i felt that jehovah would bring his big hand down from the sky and slap the hell out of the ground, and if i was under it then it would be real bad.

  the fact is i found it hard to camp outside and enjoy looking at the night sky with all of its stars, fearing the big old hand was going to slap the area around me at that very moment and ruin trees shrubs the fish we had caught our tent my dads truck, and us oh man everthing else too.

  shane

  Thank Someone...

  by FMZ in

  2. friends

  it can be anyone... on or off jwd, family, friends, a deity.

  just think of someone that did something special for you, and thank them.

  either post a note of your appreciation, or call the person and just say "thankyou for....." and let us know how it goes.
