  A good spanking now and then if warranted is a good thing. I was spanked a few times as a kid and my kids were spanked a few times when then needed it. They are 21 and 17. They are not agressive. Kids need discipline some you can just talk to others need a good swat on the behind.

  i am currently reading coc (just starting chapter 11 - point of decision).

  i was also just reading on shaun's site the time magazine article (http://www.jwfiles.com/franz-article.htm) on ray franz's shunning.

  i didn't realize that he and many other dissenters believe that all who belive in christ will go to heaven.

  I believe I am going to be with my Lord in Heaven. Just like Abraham who was waiting for his heavenly reward. It does say this in the bible!!!

  i work with a guy who sleep with a lot of different woman, and when i say a lot, i mean a lot!

  i know what some are thinking, "oh he probably sleeps with a few and makes it sound like more.

  " well i would think that too, if i did not actually meet a lot of these woman and work with some of them and they admit to sleeping with him on a regular basis.

  I am a bit old fashioned. I think sex should be for two people who love eachother. They should also be adults. They need to be committed at least mentally if not married.

  Thanksgiving/Christmas is a time for giving. If you don't have any family or friends, I am sure you can go to the local homeless shelter there are children and families who would be so thankful for you thoughtfulness and a gift. The bright smile on a childs face would do miracles to cheer you up.

  I'm not buying it! That people left the Witnesses and became Christians.

  i tried it, could not swallow all the lies and misinformation they had.

  i am sorry, but even if you deny the whole witness faith, there is still parts to christianity that they pointed out that you can not just ignore and act like it is okay to join another faith that is christian.

  are you going to become catholic when your know their history?

  I use to be a Jehovah's Witness, and so I thought a Christian. When I realized that the two really were not compatible. I left one. I am still a Christian. I love Jesus. He loves me, no matter how many mistakes I've made. I go to a non-denominational church on occasion. I would probably go more often if my family went with me. I don't think there is an attendance sheet kept by Jesus. He knows what is in my heart.

  My daughter is 17 and she has had a few boyfriends in the past short term. My family keeps asking her why she doesn't have a boyfriend. She says she doesn't want one right now. I don't have a problem with that. She feels as if they are insinuating that she is a "dyke" because she doesn't. She is offended. I've assured her that she is fine. I'm glad she doesn't feel the need for a relationship. She has girl/guy friends and would just rather hang out with them. What do you guys think.

  as a kid ,you could almost certainly kill time at an dc ,sad{as richie rich put it},or a the "2 day assembly" in many various ways.. this has probably been done before,but here we go.. 1--watch the audience as a whole,they almost lookm like ants or something,because thier was always people moving around.peole figiting,taking vigorous notes,people getting up and down for a walk,or a bathroom break,attendants barking at the teens to sit down.i used to find pleasur in watching everyon fidget as a group.. 2--watch the peole who where doing sign language for the deaf.i would always try to start matching words for signs.another way a 10 year old mind can wander.. 3--locate all friends of yours,chicks you have a bad witness boy crush on,obsess for a few hours,and how you can stalk the hot girls.. 4--what too eat{pre modern era}you know,lemon lime or cola shasta,apple or cheese danish,vanilla or chocalte swiss miss,hoagie or dri chicken w/mayo packet?????????

  ?descisions ,descisions!!!!!.

  5---count each minute out in my head.there was a huge digital clock at the providence civic center.when the clock changed,i would try to count 60 seconds to an exact point the clock would change again.clock manipulation,a huge witness kid skill.you could will the cloock to move,or so you thought.. 6---think about what flavor slush i wanted at break,and wether i would buy the cheap binoculars,or the mini -fan.those toys would occupy my brain for hours.. 7---wait with baited breath for the drama.when those lights went down,,,,,,,,,,,sheer ecxtasy!!

  The last 5 years or so we had our convention in Bakersfield. There was a coffee shop across the street and they made really good latte's. I would walk across the street and come back with a latte or two. My husband would say I was setting a bad example for the kids. The last couple of years I would get lost walking to the coffee shop. I was pretty wired one in the morning, one in the afternoon. I should have taken orders for those sitting around me.
