For those of you who do not believe in capital punishment...
by SixofNine inthat is, for those of you who actually think that executing children is wrong, what types of discipline do you find more effective?
i'm not a parent but when dealing with kids, i've seen that solitary confinements tend to make kids feel isolated and can really hurt them.
if they're near others and are checked up on frequently, it seems ok. but when they're completely ignored, that is just bad.

Where does free will end?
by jgnat inour rights, our justice system, and democracy depends on the concept that we have free will.
this extends all the way to those of us who spurn convention to live an off-beat life.
our constitution (us), charter of rights (canada), do not enshrine convention, they enshrine freedom.

iconoclast - breaking away from the tribe
by jgnat ini've recently finished the book, "iconoclast - a neuroscientist reveals how to think differently" by gregory berns.
he sure makes a person feel better for being a rebel.
the book moves quickly and is an entertaining journey through the mind an how it works.

Did You Aspire To Be An Elder Or Did You Want A Relative or Friend To Be One?
by minimus inif you were a male growing up in the congregation, it was expected that you would "reach out" for a position in the hall.
some of us did just that and others didn't want any "privileges"!.
i knew some people, especially "sisters", that really wanted their relative or good friend to be appointed so they might "change things".
