  To Ianao,

  If you did hear about any thing like that going on in the congregation, they would be immediatley disfellowshipped and thrown in jail. They wouldn't be put out of the place of worship just to be put into another congregation, like most pastors, ministers are. They would allegedly supervise their every move. I would love to hear about a elder or brother being punished because of such an unclean act, I'll be waiting for the day. The church people, from what I've seen and heard on the news get a slap on the wrist. Many times they do less than 6 months in jail, they get 10 years probation and have to pay a stupid fine. J's name is tarnished all the time when W's do things that they know is unacceptable.

  To Jason,

  No, I'm not saying that if its not in the Watchtower or Awake, that its not true. I was just simply bringing out that you mostly hear of those kind of things being done by people who go to church, money laundering, racketering, you'd think they were office or running for something. And no, its not ignorant, its fact. You can read these type things in the newspaper and other magazines, even ones that aren't religious.

  To Waiting,

  Thanks for the comment. I'm from Buffalo,NY. My 6 year old is the same way. She can roll her eyes, suck her teeth, stomp, slam doors and roll her neck, put her hands on her hips like she's grown. Now both my daughters have their father wrapped around their fingers, when they say jump, he says how high. They talk to him, majority of the time, any way they want to. With me, they know better. I'm a hands on parent, I won't hesitate to pop that butt, leg or arm if I need to. And I'm not the kind of parent who repeats themself more that 2 or 3 times before I come after you. With my 6 year old, I tell her to do something, I tell her to repeat what I told her to do. Once I know she understands, I give her a few minutes. I'll let 5 min. go then repeat again. I'll let another 5 min. go by and then I'm coming.
  My kids are trained where mama don't play that. Don't get me wrong, I talk to my kids all the time. And I tell them, I'm not gonna repeat myself over and over again, like as if I'm pushing a rewind button on a tape recorder. They know the look I give them to. No I don't beat them til their black and blue, but I do believe in discipline. I'm showing them that I love them because I'm taking the time to show them what's right,what's wrong and sometimes the bad things you do or the things you don't do have consequences.

  To Mommy,

  I read your last comment, sorry about your daughters heart condition that makes her not able to participate in PE, PE does stand for physical education, like gym or swim, right? Just making sure. Jason asked the question why can't your kid participate in PE, I was just going to ask the same ? until I read your response. Good luck.

  When I said theres many forms of smacking, I was referring to the places on a kids body that can be smacked. Child abuse isn't smacking your kid in the face. I'm not talking about smacking or slaping the kid in the face over and over again, 1 time is enough. If that kid is mouthing off or sucking their teeth and getting smart, they probably will get a smack on the face, its called discipline. I'm not talking about slapping or smacking them so hard in the face that they flew over a table or they flew across the room, a soft smack.The bible talks about church as being a place of false religion, you know "Babylon the Great", I'm sure you've heard that before. Theres many kids who don't know what discipline is and thats why they are out of control. Beating a kid with an extension cord, a stick, a bat, a chain, burning them intentionally, locking them in a animals cage, not feeding them cause they made you mad, cursing them out like they are grown and stole something, beating them to the point where they have bruises on them or until they pass out, touching them in a sexual manner, doing sexual things to them, that's abuse. Your right, theres a difference between discipline and child abuse. If you look at the news at these different churches, the pasters, ministers and rabi's, that's all you do is see that in the news, molesting little boys. You never hear of that coming from a JW, if you do, tell me some facts and what Watchtower or Awake it came from.

  adoption by jehovah's witnesses is blocked .

  the independent - united kingdom; may 26, 2001. by brian farmer.

  a couple originally approved by a council as adoptive parents have been refused permission by social workers to adopt a child, because they are jehovah's witnesses.

  To Agape,

  As I stated in an earlier post, my mom's a JW, not I. I just grew up with them.

  To Mommy,

  Your right, this has nothing to do with being a JW. I wouldn't care what religion you are, if your child gets hurt at school, the schools first obligation is to call the parents, whether they live together or not and let them know what's going on. If they can't reach the parents at home, the school needs to have a work, cell, car phone number. Even a beeper number. Whether the parents are JW or not, the school or any place that your child gets hurt at, should contact the parents regardless. The next thing you know, you'll probably get someone one's response that even if you would've been called, you probably wouldn't have done anything anyways( that is if you are a JW).

  Theres many forms of smacking. Theres smacking of the hand, leg, face, head, butt. If a child is acting up or they are trying to test
  you to see if you'll do anything. You politely take that child in the restroom, take them in the stall, talk to them and let them know what you want them to do. After talking to them at least 2 times, depending on age, once your tired of talking, you go in the bathroom, in the stall and a good smack on the butt, leg or arm will do the job. I bet you won't have anymore troubles. Some parents don't discipline their kids and that's why theres so much disrespect.

  To Billygoat,

  Yes your correct as far as not shunning people who have done extreamly bad things and they would get shunned or cut lose for a while but it takes time for different people to deal with what ever hurt or pain that a family member may cause. It may be so bad that after a while, they acknowledge that they are family and they love them but things won't be the same. They are some things that people do where you feel like that, we're all imperfect. Jesus was perfect so imperfect people are going to take time to cool themselves off and get things back on track. And yes, since I'm new, they may know things about the situation that I don't. We have that obligation to help family out and sometimes the family could be so out there that you can't help them, you got to let them go. Sometimes people get mixed up in things that they chose not to get out of and you can't help them unless you put your life in some kind of danger. Jesus was perfect and he was sent on earth to do a job so comparing a perfect person with non perfect people isn't a good example, though I do understand what your saying. And as for your example about King David, yes he was punished but he also repented and if God felt that he was sorry and repented enough, then yes, he was going to give them that standing. Even though I don't mention per say what God wants, JW try to the best of there ability to practice God's teachings and let people know who he is and what he says their purpose is. And in the bible it does say, J's people have the responsibility to preach his word. They might get doors slammed in their faces but he tells to do keep on spreading his good news.
