Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009  , It isn't that no one understands the meaning of those words, it's that when you don't follow what you ask of others (by stopping posting yourself or by agreeing to disagree) you do not appear to respect their views. If you want to continue discussions privately, you ought to email the folks who want to discuss this offline so the rest of us do not have to continually read protestations and defensive posts covering the same position which you understandably have and will "never change" -- and I understand why you are emotional about but can't read any longer but that is the danger of putting personal facts of your own life out there that people may not agree with -- if you don't want to hear the dissenting votes, it's better if you don't post about those facts. I am not suggesting emailing me -- I do not want to discuss this topic offline and do not want email privately, I will not respond. I am just trying to help you possibly understand other people's views. People like CJ who are tactfully responding and others like me who are trying to perhaps less successfully, do "get" what you are saying, we may just not agree with your views. Please respect my differing opinion if you wish me to respect yours and please everyone knows how you feel right now -- no need to repeat it over and over. I am glad you do not feel traumatized by your father spanking you, I do not judge you or your father because of it and no one would want you to feel that, but i do not subscribe to your views of either religion or discipline and having to see them posted here over and over and over is very tiring to my brain. Thank you in advance for please exercising restraint. /Child last post on this, please let it go....... CJ Thanks for your post CJ, Here is my point, and one I have asked REPEATEDLY to be honored and respected my wish to be e-mailed privately-- And no one understand the meaning of those words. Second I have stated repeatedly that I am glad my father spanked me, he did not abuse me at all. I am not traumatized, neither in drugs, neither clinging to a psychiatric or psychologist for IT. I do believe in discipline and around the world there is discipline; but of course most humans understand the term like I do, as correcting a child, or an adult; not "hitting" neither bruising, neither abusing, etc, etc, etc, etc....... But I was accused of it!!!!!!! Discipline is not the equivalent of abuse, yet neglecting to teach, educate and discipline a child IN MY VIEWS is a from of abuse....... Which I witness every single day in the type of job I do. What my father did was correct and good for me, I am blessed to have had him, and mostly that his teachings enabled me to OVERCOME what many of this ladies wish their husband to overcome. I also feel that they insist in telling me what I already know, that spanking is considered abuse nowadays, but I also know it is not; That is also my own opinion....... YET I never for once, not even FOR ONCE have I spanked my nieces neither my nephews at all! How hard is it to get it? ........ and I am the one in the spectrum! HEHEHEHE! ........ WHAT A JOKE!....... Wow, no wonder the secular world is so messed up, and unorthodox....... Twisting the words making a DRAMA out what is NOT....... and ignoring "the value and the truth of Principles" is simply sad....... About my father, NO ONE! has the right to even mention him at all-- if hell exist-- it will freeze over before I accept anyone disrespecting or challenging my opinion about him or his teachings!!!!!!!. It is what it is, and he was a great guy, and loved by the community as well....... His kids are not average, and I do not need to be humble about it either, it took lots of hard work and relentless teachings from him to make us as able and as adaptable as we are! I am proud of him and all of his achievements and ours as his children! So sweetie, thanks for your words as well....... I am alright, and I would generally ignore this type of stuff, neither bother to answer; but I do not let go when I am accused of what I am not; or my words twisted without any regard for the truth of the real meaning of what I posted....... Only I know of how I meant them....... My opinion will not change, and I am very proud of is my Ethics, My moral, My values, and my way of living, if nothing else I live life in a disciplined way and also by doing the right thing....... No WONDER why the religion I am pursuing IS so wonderful to me. It is clear in the way one should live life and the choices we should make....... One thing I feel very good about, is that I have always known who I am and where I am going; even when I might go through hardship, it only helps me endure and prepare for the next chosen event in my life. Thanks again, . Who loves and believes in discipline and who knows that discipline is NOT ABUSIVE, neither bruises, or hurts, or hit, or humiliates....... Not disciplining children is an option....... One way or another, through the bad choices made in life, or the law itself my do it....... Neither it means only spanking....... Actually that one is the most weak of all the other ways of discipline there is....... It is only used randomly and in my it worked wonders!
