Answer 1

all the people who blame psychosis on the bible method of child rearing, may not understand just why many other people who were not raised in a godly home are committing horrid crimes. my children have no problem relating to the world around them and guess what, we don't even own a television. wow, it's amazing that if you take a stand against hollywood, people will think your children will be damaged. remember that they will call evil good and good evil. poor brittney and what hollywood and fame did for her. and lindsay, and drew, and the list could go on. do i want my beautiful little girls donning the latest trendiest fashions all for the sake of social approval and the lustful eyes of man? i think not. the boundaries i set are to allow them to be kids for a while and not make them grow up too fast. the boundaries i set, are loving boundaries that protect them. i want them to grow up to be godly women. i teach them at the same time not to judge others who are not brought up in the same manner. not to put others down that don't have the convictions we believe in. God is the one who has to put convictions in peoples hearts. i steer my children in the right direction so that someday, when they are older, they will not depart from it. some may say i am too strict. my children aren't beaten into submission in a corner, they are lovingly guided by example. i do not use language that i wouldn't want them to use. i do not listen to things i wouldn't want them to hear. because what we allow in moderation, our children will do in excess. God bless you for posting this thought provoking question. children need safe loving boundaries instead of a jail sentence at 16 because they were never taught any better.

Answer 2

God did bless us with the children HE GAVE to us and we are suppose to be responsible parents, we are to set a Godly example and train the child up in the ways of the Lord. We of course will have to stand in front of our Lord to answer for how we have raised the children he has blessed us with.

Answer 3

We are to be good stewards over whatever God has entrusted us with, weather it be in the home or at church.

"Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."Luke 12:37

I seen a mother awhile back in the courtroom.She was trying to defend her son who had received a ticket for speeding. She told the Judge that there was no way that her son's old truck could go 90 miles per hour.Her son was killed shortly after this incident.He was racing home after school and clipped the front bumper of a school bus while trying to pass. Sometimes we love them the wrong way.

Answer 4

Regardlesss of if I were going to be held responsible for my children's clothing, music, television, ect. by God I would still monitor what they were wearing, listening to or watching... AND who their friends are/were... Isn't that our basic job as parents? We love our children yet we let our daughter's walk around wearing shorts/skirts that show their ***??? How are we teaching them to respect themselves and what is right or wrong if we allow this behavior... We let them listen to music that talks about beating women, rape, killing, sex and drugs, but we wonder why our kids are more violent, agressive, angry and sexually active at such an early age? Does it matter who is holding us accountable for what we permit our children to have access to in our homes? Shouldn't we just want what is best for them because we love them?

I am not saying that I don't believe in God or that we are held accountable by God for what we allow our children to be exposed to, but that is not the issue for me. For me the issue is that parents need to remember that they are the adults and it is OK not to be the coolest mom or dad as long as you are protecting the safety of your children.

Answer 5

I have a niece. She married a boy I don't like because he listens to dirty music loud and continuous. But that's his business.
He doesn't mind blasting it in front of any woman regardless of age. Lotz of foul language.
When I met his parents they couldn't stop talking about how great a kid he was and how smart he is all the typical American pride you could want.
I asked if they knew who his hero's are. Just some singer. Does he play his music at home. Sure we like music. Do you like that foul stuff he plays in public. Oh I never listen to the words just the beat. ( Of the heathen drum)
Have you ever offered him the bible or taken him to church. No we believe in God but we don't believe in organized religion. ( you prefer disorganized?)
The boy is a drunk, a drug user, and a thief and he does it all in front of his kids, and he never ( I mean never ) corrects his children whatever they do.
This is young American and the parents of today?
I'll bet everyone knows someone similar, as well as the opposite. While you sit in church, what is the rest of America doing?
Just as they please and damn the consequences.

Answer 6

Sorry bout how harsh this is. Im not saying it out of any anger to you. However from your perspective this is for your own good. I could easily not tell you this, and your children would not be christian, or end up commiting suicide/being mentally damaged for the rest of there lives. Seriously damaged.


No wounder I hated my mother growing up. You'd have liked her.


No wounder Im not christian.

The tighter you hold on to them the more warm and welcoming will they be accepted by the Aesir and Vanir. Thor cant say no to an innocent. I am speaking from experince.


I realized something. The reason why My religion has more validity then yours in general. Is that I dont have to "convert" people. They will come to us, and we will welcome them.

They will come to us all the more readily becuse you are pushing them to us.

You like the censor. We hate it.
You hate individuality and experince. We love them.
You worship innocence and claim us all to be children. We protect our innocent, and let it grow to be strong. Casting away its shell and becoming valor as a bot becomes a Man

If you want your kid to be christian. Do what Christ told you to. Love them, accept them, and trust God has a plan for them.

Answer 7

Good heaven's I thought fundamentalism was the preserve of the middle eastern mob but it appears to be well and thriving in the all-American home.
The guy who's not letting his kids go trick or treat-your kids are going to grow up and want to get the hell away from you.Where in the bible does it say 'spoil kids fun'?
Isaiah-seriously,you want to beat kids?That's just plain wrong.

Answer 8

You are so right. I wouldn't let my children watch t.v. that disrespected others. This included a show on Nickelodeon.

My son wanted to have wizard things in our home. I wouldn't allow this. I told him exactly what you said. I am accountable to God, for what is in our home.

I learned so much from my parents, wether I liked it or not. God Bless them.

Answer 9

Yes and Amen! I called my family in here to read this question, wife and kids.

My youngest said..."MAN!" I said, "Uh huh, This is exactly why we live the way we do, and teach the things we teach in this house."

Thank you Sally.

Answer 10

You hit the nail right on the head yet so many people think that it is abuse to discipline their children


Also to the people who think that there children are just expressing themselves if I had talked to my parents the way that I see allot of children talking to their parents I would LITERALLY not be here today
