  "Mother" knows best

  when i first watched the movie "tangled" with my daughter this scene really creeped me out and made me think of the borg.

  it seems with the title of a convention talk "motivate rightheartedones to love .

  .their spiritual mother (proverbs 6:20)" they want to bring back the term "mother" for the next generation.

  I have never heard the mother thing either. I have been thinking the same thing for a while. I love the movie the whole thing applies here. So true. So frustrating.

  hi my first post.. for the people that grew up in the religon, do you have any memory of being spanked for not sitting still in the meeting?

  i see kids acting like kids but the parents take them out and spank them for something like not sitting still.

  some of my worst memories are my father taking me out for a beating with a belt or his hand.

  Thanks for the welcome. I think that is ultimatly the parent's decision on how to discipline their child, as long as it does not cross the border between discipline and child abuse. But it is child abuse when you beat a child hard enough so that the congregtion can hear it and just because they are not sitting still. The recent spankings I have seen were totally uncalled for. There is a difference between spanking and teaching and abuse.

Some of my worst memories are my father taking me out for a beating with a belt or his hand. There are people that think it is funny to see kids being taken out. I was terrified as a child. Are the elders ok with this? Are they aware?
