Daddy and mommy won't be in the New Order
by dissed init's time for my weekly sunday afternoon rant.. my story starts with my daughter seven years ago when she was 11. even though we were not associating anymore, we would let her stay with her jw grand parents and jw cousins some distance away for overniters.. coming back from a visit, she was noticeably reserved.
she told my wife at bedtime, she never wanted to go back and visit grandma.
they had told her we would not be in the new order.

The point I was getting at is for some people they can’t justify removing their children from the family’s completely. It's all in the context of how you explain what’s told to the child and if you have an open line of communication between a child and their parents. Don't get me wrong I find JW shunning practices repellent I’ve seen it destroy lives and families.

I don’t feel this way as I give a portion of my income to charity and I have never set out to harm anyone else. So why simply because I believe in science and not religion am I a BAD person?

Smacking can lower a child's IQ, study reveals
By Kate Sikora
The Daily Telegraph
Children who constantly face physical punishment live in fear and suffer stress, affecting academic achievement / File - Smacking can lower child's IQ
- Likened to post-traumatic stress
- Time out the best disciplinary tool
- Herald Sun: Cyber boasting risk to kids
Research revealed it can also lower a child's IQ, with those smacked up to three times a week having a lower IQ due to psychological stress.
US-based sociologist Professor Murray Straus, who studied the impact of smacking for 40 years, likened the effects of corporal punishment to post-traumatic stress, affecting a child's mental development, The Daily Telegraph reports.
He called on governments to outlaw corporal punishment.
After studying 800 toddlers aged between two and four over a four-year period, he found those who were subjected to smacking had an IQ five points lower than that of a child who wasn't physically disciplined.
"The results of this research have major implications for the well-being of children across the globe," he said.
"All parents want smart children. This research shows that avoiding smacking and correcting misbehaviour in other ways can help that."
Children aged five to nine years who were smacked regularly had an IQ 2.8 points lower. Dr Straus said children who constantly faced physical punishment lived in fear and suffered stress, which was associated with poorer academic performance.
While not an advocate of smacking, Sydney psychologist Dr Judith Kennedy said parents who gave an occasional tap on the bottom should not fear damaging their child.
"But a child who is suppressed through physical punishment regularly is going to behave differently," Dr Kennedy said.
Melbourne child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said many factors contributed to intelligence and he found it hard to believe that spanking was one, the Herald Sun reports.
Dr Carr-Gregg said hitting children should never be the main disciplinary tool - giving them time out was the best option.
"But while parents should never whack their kids on the head, I don't believe the odd tap on the bum traumatises them," he said.
"I can't come at this politically correct stuff that says that a little smack on the bum makes parents child abusers."
Father of three Con Zoumis said spanking should be used only as a last resort.
"It's not to hurt them, it's just to make them snap out of a tantrum or stubborn behaviour," he said. "And if you threaten to spank someone you have to carry it through." Found this interesting article I was smacked as a child and I dont think I'm stupid. What Does everyone else Think? -

Do you have many friends since leaving the bOrg?
by AK - Jeff ini don't have many in my physical sphere.
but the ones i have are good ones.
of course we share no 'history', since i never had a 'worldly' friend until i left at 48.. in my cyberworld [and some would argue the credence of that] i have found many fine souls with which to commiserate, share, grow.

J W Beliefs would breach the Geneva Convention
by BluesBrother ini came across the words "collective punishment" in the news today, in a negative light, and it got me thinking about what the wt teaches.
they say that everyone, man woman and child are bloodguilty for the worst excesses of this system, of which we are a part.
therefore we all deserve to die.. wt 1995 11/15 p15.
