How many Rumors have you ever started?

ah rumors!

yes that delightful word, any story or a statement made without any proof that it is true.

how many of us have actually have started these little rumors?

To spank or not to spank?

by Nowhere in

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.

mevirginia

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?

Slapping anyone in the face especially a child is and act of loosing control of ones self.

That is hardly equivalent to a spanking.

You might have some issues that may be worth exploring with a professional. Not meaning to offend you but trying to be sincere.

as we were digesting the spiritual food at the bookstudy tonight [yes i actually had to see this for myself] the topic of watchtower.org and freeminds came up from the elder in charge of the study.he flagrantly discredited freeminds with verbal sarcasm and distain and condemned watchtower.org as apostate and totally demonized the website .during this he mentioned he was not abliged to answer any of the questions that may have been raised about the society and beliefs because he felt that jesus didn't always answer the pharisees with what they would have expected like something that would incriminate himself.then the term legal department was brought to the fore.i really couldn't believe this is their reaction to inquiring minds.

If you are really that interested in who's who and what's what in whatever bible youre into, just follow along the comments and get out your bible and do your homework.

and since they believe that astrology is satanic

Well, that is not exactly correct.

But they do believe that one should not put their FAITH in astrology. The reasoning behind it is due to "POSSIBLE"

Satanic influence as Satan is the ruler of the earth therefore does not put your faith in things of earthly influence. Not because they believe astrology in itself is satanic. Satan is not the "inventor" of astrology but it is suggested he is in the drivers seat at the present time.
