    do you ever have a friend or close relative that has taken on someones personality ?

    this is someone that you knew to act and think a certain way and then they meet someone and they have changed into the other person such as likes and dislikes and their way of reasoning .. .

    do you know what i mean ,kinda like the person you knew has become someone that you don't really know.

    yes, I have seen this happen, even with someone very close to me. Right down to even starting to use the same terminology, and pronouncing things differently. (like I guess in the midwest, they pronounce wash, with an r, warsh) and we most certainly dont do that here in the west.

    JW wedding music songs! I promise not to sing at you!

    i was having a reminising sort of day today and thinking about our wedding 22 years ago and the songs we picked for the ceremony.. we had first, 'love's excelling way'.. god is love, and therefore bids us, walk in love's excelling way,.

    letting love of god and neighbour prompt all things we do and say.. for though we have faith and knowledge, gifts of tongues and prophecy,.

    yet if love itself were lacking, we would simply nothing be.. .

    I remember the weddings I went to as a dub, always used the "Shulamite Maiden" song.

    anyone who regularly reads this site is well aware of the sexual abuse scandals amongst jw congregations worldwide.

    (for those not familiar, visit www.silentlambs.org).

    not to make light of those who were sexually abused, but i think there is an epedimic of other types of abuse in the org.. how many here have been, or know of, someone who was "spanked" regularly and excessively?

    Witness or not, there are other effective ways to discipline children. We take my sons privldeges away, like his video games, etc. My children have never been disciplined with a belt, and they never will be. Cuz, yea we got it with the belt, although I was the goody two shoes in the family, and didnt get it as frequently as the others, but we all got it.
