  OH my god it's moving all by itself!!

  by hamsterbait in

  i have just discovered that i can move the cursor on my screen by moving the fingertips of my left hand about one centimeter above my laptop sensor pad.

  i don't think it's demunzz, but maybe the electrical field of my body interacting in some way.. if any part of my body is touching the computer it doesn't happen.

  i can also make my face tingle when i hold my right hand over my head about five inches above where my soft spot was as a baby.. i often get electrical shocks from the fittings in department stores.. any theories - has anyone else found this??.

  Little Matthew at the Kingdom Hall

  by pennycandy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when my oldest child was about three we were in a kingdom hall with quite a few kids.

  my son was frequently brought to the back room, not for a spanking, but to stretch his legs and take a break.

  later diagnosed with adhd, he could not sit quietly if his life depended on it.

  I posted a similar thought earlier today. It was Richies thread about dub gettin' beatings. I totally agree, you can not expect a child to still completely still and silent for 2 hours a meeting!!!!! My mom would make the comment every time time a child "acted up", she would say, "the parents just aren't training him/her right." BS!! Let the children be children.

  Other Types of Abuse...

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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?

  This has been a thorn in my side for a loooong time. But first to answer Richie's question, yes. My old hall had a boiler room in the basement. Parents loved this room, no lie, because the sound of the furnace would drown out any crying going on in there, which I've done my fair share of. Mom loved the wooden spoon, don't leave home without it. But this goes into my next point, how should children act? What is normal? I've seen babies, 24 months and under being hauled off for "not behaving." They like to call it training. But it simply is not normal to expect a child or even a baby to sit in a chair, still for 2 hours. And a convention or assembly forget!! Let the kids be kids!!!

  is it just me or is this year's f1 season a lot more exciting than previous years?

  the wildly over-rated m.schumaker is no-where to be seen and no one team seem to be dominating (normally ferrari with the rules and decisions skewed to suit them).. heck, they have even been overtaking at monoco!

  (normally an "hour-long parade lap").

  Interesting thoughts about the resurrection. Sounds like they are trying to build faith in the "resurrection hope" because.........you will most likely die on this side of the big "A" so hang in there and don't worry. That's exactly what it sounds like to me the more I hear and think about it. Some one (sorry I forgot who said it) said it sounds like "damage control", that I believe hits the nail on the head.
