The verse that says, "Spare the rod and spoil the child". Why do some people take it literally and some symbolically? Is there a definite right or wrong? The abuse of caning is so damaging yet Christian parents do not think it wise to use alternative discipline measures claiming the act is biblical. I call that using the word of God for their own end. With so much statistical studies about the damage of physical affliction, the rise in dysfunctional behaviours using abusive discpline measures, can we really justify the literal meaning of the verse?

For those who use the cane as a scare tactic when disciplining, what sort of personality does your child turn out to be? Confident or Nuerotic?

I've been reading up on a lot of religions recently. I have a friend who is a JW.

According to what I have read, it seems like she could get in trouble.....

She was a bridesmaid in my Catholic Wedding. She did not partake in communion or anything like that. But it seems like she shouldn't have been "allowed" to participate.

I have not yet published my Wedding announcement in the paper. Should I leave her name out of it to keep her out of trouble?

I know I could ask her, but I feel kind of stupid asking her.

When I asked her to be a bridesmaid, I did tell her that I would understand if her religion prevented it. But she said it was fine...

I've read about the whole disfellowshipping and whatnot. I'd hate for her to have to go through that unless it was her choice.

I don't agree with her religion, but I respect that it's what she believes in. She give me the same respect.

I have just reported someone for committing benefit fraud

She is only paying £20.00 per month towards council tax when really she should be paying at least £70.00 a month.

They said they will follow her, I told them what she looks like, where she lives, where she works etc

She is on 15k a year and a single mother... who get money from her partner that lives abroad

What could happen, prison?

Why is Nancy Pelosi refusing to allow the Presidents military funding a chance for a vote, does she hate America that much, that she would STARVE hundreds of our troops for political points.

Here's the deal this guy:

Doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs, or have illicit sex.

He is aware of most if not all of his personality flaws and has actively been working on becoming more patient, joyful, understanding, and forgiving. He has had a lot of success with this over the past 1.5 years. His biggest flaws are being judgmental, having a quick temper, being stubborn, and being a bit of a sourpuss.
He is very philosophical, determined, loyal, trustworthy, intelligent, intuitive and does not mind doing loads of volunteer work. He also is fairly wise for his age.
He is in shape, has been told he is easy on the eyes, and is in his mid 20s. He has long hair.
He is an Eagle Scout, a Martial artist, a nerd, and a good writer.
He hopes to start working on getting a degree in acupuncture soon.

And now the reason I post this here: he has spiritual leanings in Quakerism, Buddhism, Paganism (Druidic and Norse), likes metaphysics, and can do energy work/magic. He has never been baptized.

I am a silent observer here and I know who the knowledgable people are, and who the bull shitters are. If you really don't know about the place, keep your trap shut and stop polluting the category with your nonsense.

And, yeah, by the way, to you know-nothings, Ive been there a few times so I know you're wasting everyone's time with your lame answers.

I feel so sad... I keep worrying about my father dying when I turn twenty because right now he is 55 and I'm 12.... I'm so scared... I'm also never allowed to see my big brother (who i just found out about) and he cant go to colledge cuz his step dad ditched him and his mom for a stupid prostitute...

My mom told me that she was pregnant with me before she met my dad... this is all so confuzing...

I'm so afraid....


I love my parents so much... I care about them most in this world....

So much stuff are going on... Thats just the beggining...

GEEZ...


I would seriously rather kill myself just to let my parents live more longer and better life...

I am so hurt... Before I came to my new school, I had no friends and I didnt learn how to read and stuff until I was in the 2nd grade... I was like , "Whats a add and substract?"

All really do now is listen to emo songs like Untitled by Simpleplan... I feel like my hearts fallin into peices...
I'm too sensitive..
