  Corporal punishment

  so i just finished watching the latest cedars video on spanking children.

  i like lloyd, and think that overall he does a good job covering issues in his videos.

  but i've gotta disagree with him on this issue, to a point.. i don't agree with beating your children, but i do believe in spanking, when appropriate.

  No no I didn't mean it like that. I meant when discipline is firm (in my view, smacking or slapping - to give a short term sting) I think that it teaches children to deal with pain, and when painful times come along e.g. broken bones etc. It will teach them to deal with it. I remember as a kid when I got slapped the pain was incredible, but as I got slapped more often the pain stayed the same, but I managed to deal with it better, and it's helped me in later life.

  Totally agree with IM point here. I think especially at a young age <10, children, like animals, respond negatively to pain. Think of how a dog learns what is too far and what is acceptable, the other puppies don't threaten to remove it's food, they bite it back - promptly. This then cements it into the dogs head that biting too hard (or being naughty in the case of children) is not good because it has consequences and causes pain. In 10 minutes the dog has forgotten all about the bite back, and is carrying on with daily life. When I was smacked on the hand for being naughty as a kid, after 10 minutes I'd stopped sniffling, and found something else to do. I'd forgotten all about it and was ready to move on.

  I think when parent are too soft on children, it doesn't build up a resilience to pain. By the time I was 9 years old, the hand smacking had lost its effectiveness, and I wasn't bothered because it didn't hurt anymore. At this stage my parent would take things away from me, like pudding after meal times, sending us to bed early, when I was older they took my games console and didn't let me play out etc. When people's brains haven't fully developed they can usually only understand good Vs bad... Bringing the bad association of pain with the naughty act will cement this in the child's head and they will learn better than forcing them to think of doing something else to entertain themselves because you've confiscated their iPhone 24.

  As long as it's only spanking, or smacking, so as to cause a red mark and nothing more, I think it's acceptable, when we are talking bruises and broken bones, clearly that is completely wrong.

  My two cents!

  Lastmanstanding that made me chuckle. Skip forward twenty years and we see Sophia laid in a doorway hooked on ice-cream with the caption "don't you wish you spent your money wisely" then fade away into JW.org logo

  Anyone noticed the information of the project has since been removed... I remember clicking on the link on the post a few weeks/month back and it clearly stating it was incorporating a shopping complex? Now this same link the information has vanished 😱

  Following on from days of future passed comment... What if this is a conspiracy to oust him?? Maybe Stephen Lett has just bought a lovely pair of Versace skinny jeans... Maybe Geoffrey Jackson enjoys a bit of alone time with his pillow... Who knows???

  Send the guy down for booze and tip off an apostate assassin he's gonna be there... Two weeks he'll be gone and replaced by another slightly less strict member....

  Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

  by Thomasdam in

  2. family

  i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

  there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

  i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

  What worries me is that kids are now being subjected to all this in primary school over here in the UK. One of my friends, a primary school teacher has been told that she has to show a video of two homosexual penguins in New York zoo (supposedly a real story I'll have to check it over?) And how they are in a 'relationship' because they spend all of their time together. She teaches year 1 (5-6 year olds). Truly frightening why this is allowed and encouraged at this age
