  No. Not at all.

  I still get a bit scared sometimes like I am pissing off god, but need to remind myself that god does not sanction this type of abusive behavior.

  WoMD ... so where are they?

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  It is pretty obvious that the states were looking for any reason whatsoever to get in there, and get hussein out. WOMD had nothing to do with it...

  June 2003 KM- 'Should Christians Use Slang?'

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1 slang has been defined as 'facetious figures of speech'.

  when used improperly, it may cause embarassment and confusion to an individual.

  it may even stumble those 'who have ears' that listen.yes, prayerful consideration is needed before one lets a word utter forth from his mouth.. 2 it has been said that in nebraska (usa) a male co-worker said to another co-worker that a female co-worker was "drop-dead beautiful".

  Kingdom Hall Spankings

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

  often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

  people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.

  Yes, that is true...

  The thing that we all need to consider when disciplining our child in this way is...

  1) Does he / she know it is wrong?

  2) Does he/she know that he/she is going to get a spanking if this behavior is going to continue?

  3) Is the child able to abstain from this type of behavior?

  4) Is there anything else that you have not tried?

  5) Is it serious enough to warrant one? (did the 2 year old kid just throw food on the floor, or try to run out into traffic for the 3rd time? Is just throwing your food on the floor enough to warant one? I don't think so! Getting KILLED, now that is warrant to...)

  You have to be very very careful before spanking a kid. A witness friend of mine said he used to get spankings and did not even know that what he was doing was wrong.... now, that's wrong! Parents need to really ask these questions... some kids NEVER, EVER need a spanking. Just yelling at them is punishment enough...
