  To spank or not to spank?

  by Nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.

  and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.

  of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.

  "Now, how would you handle a boy that is slapping his younger sister's? He needed a little insight, and I gave it to him."

  I don't wan't to be stuck in an argue over what the best solution is, only to hear I don't know what I'm talking about or that I don't know what's best for your kids. I do not know what's best for yor kids. But I do know that violence isn't going to solve world's problem. You can get upset or mad or whatever you want, but I don't think you have to lower yourself that much and slap him in the face. Didn't you felt sorry for doing that afterwards?

  "My son is an adult and he does not seem to be scared by these two experiences."

  That's good. But other kids will get hurt, because ther parents spank them. There is a reason spanking is forbidden where I live. And it is not bible-based.

  ok larc:

  "I remember when he was a toddler, he wanted to stick his fingers between the electrical outlet and the plug for the lamp cord. I think a slap on his hand with a firm "no" was better than him being electrocuted."

  I too think a slap at the hand is better than being electrocuted. But I do not think it's the best solution though. What is the lesson for him? I can't put my fingers in the outlet, because if I do, my dad will slap me?

  "When he was older, he got in the habit of slapping his sisters. "

  Now where did he got that nasty habit?

  "Nothing was getting to him, when we tryed to get him to stop. Finaly, in desperation, I slapped his face and asked him how he liked it and what he was doing to do about it?"

  What a great example! You slap him and tells him not to slap anyone? This upsets me! You are the adult here, and you lower yourself to slap a child?

  This is interesting. Thank you for your answers.

  It is not my intention to offend anyone, but I will answer and give my view on the matter.

  First of all. Is spanking different from beating? They are both acts of violence. You can say what you want, but I know you can get prosecuted if you go out and gives someone on the street a slap in the face or even the bottom. But it's ok to spank children? Do you think it would be ok if you people when doing something wrong, maybe at work, got a slap in the face for that? I know the differs between spanking and beating, and I think they are both wrong. It sickens be to read in the stupid WT magazines how you are to spank your children out of love. Out of love? I can give the author of that article a good beating. I'll just tell him it's for his own good, and it's all an act of love.

  When two people argue, you would probably consider it to be uncivilized if they started slapping each other instead of talking and arguing. Don't you think something is wrong when you have to spank your child for getting it to listen? Or is the child stupid?

  Is it ok to slap your wife/mate when she/he doesn't listen?

  bitter mango: "I agree"

  Do you care to tell me why you agree? Are some kids born bad? And you have to beat it out of them? While other kids are not born that bad?

  Two lies more from the Society

  by ServetMiguel in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i suggest when the society quotes somebody, we should confirm that they are usin the quotation in its context because the society is a master in deceiving and taking out of context everything.

  here you are another three lies more.

  Surprise, surprise! GB teaches that you are to spank your children (for ex. in the family book, 1996), and has constantly through the ages mocked child psychologists who said that beating your children will hurt them.

  So why haven't I heard of this? Because the version of the family book in my county differs from the English language version. Here a witness is not permitted to beat their children. And I thought that was a GB policy, but it looks like this is only because we have laws protecting the children from physical punishment.

  Am I right here? And to you who lives in USA, do you think it is right to spank your children? And what does the law in USA say about physical punishment for children?

  //Thank you

  Oh those PAMPHLETS

  i was just wondering if the dubs still used this form of door to door work.

  as i recall there was a time when we would put them in doors that were "not at homes" and handed them to the people at the doors.

  what i also remember was the next time we did it i recall it being a big deal to give them at all doors at they were worried about the costs.

  Then why do they hand out Watchtower and awake mags.?

  Should they not be giving copies of the bible?

  No, we can all save time by only delivering WT-litterature. Remember that: "If you spend 15 minutes reading each of Rutherfords books you would get more pleasure than you would reading the Bible for a whole year"

  So why waste time on reading the Bible?

  Yes, and shouldn't the factor 46025 be involved in the equation too?

  f(46025,1914,1915,1918,1925,1941,1975,2000) = the end is very very near now.

  i was asking because look at all the problems religion are causing :september 11,middle east crisis,waco disaster,clashes in ireland,paedophiles priests,suicide bombings,papal system etc.but think if masses of people protested it my not ban religion completely,but it could make a start to banning it.but the trouble again is that a lot of people want religion even if it is full of @*~t,yeh and why is it that people know theres problems in there religion but wont take a stand,why are religious people are such cowards to the truth.saying that though if i managed to get say jws banned from preaching i would be fulfilling bible prophecy mmm how cool lol
