Biblical discipline=spanking the bottom with a bible when they misbehave ? 🤔

Almost all Christian churches that practice discipline (usually the more intense Protestant ones) will shame people at increasing levels and eventually kick them out of the congregation.

However "high control groups" aka cults that fall within something like Christian tradition will go to the more extreme levels such as physical punishment or extreme acts of shame with the most extreme going into what effectively becomes sadistic torture.

Edit: I'm not endorsing this I'm an atheist lol

@kleinemaus I'd argue it's very bad in fact
@CountScrofula that doesn't sound very Christian at all.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters You're right, it doesn't!
There are definitely churches that encourage parental discipline by supplying a special room. Usually the room is called a "crying room" and intended for nursing moms but often such rooms are used for discipline. Long ago we often heard sermons about the benefits of spanking, especially with older pastors. My parents did not attend the church I joined and that sponsored our scout troop so I never worried that such sermons would have any effects on my discipline but other kids were very nervous during talk of Biblical Correction, strop oil, and peach trees as a source of rods of correction. I never understood how caster oil worked (it was a laxative); I thought the punishment part of caster oil was its taste! It took me a while to learn how strop oil was applied (direct contact with our bottoms) and not by the spoonful!

Ja, aber das kommt heute seltener vor. In Kirchen, in denen noch körperliche Züchtigung angewendet wird, sind es in Regel die Priester oder die Nonnen, die darüber entscheiden. Es gibt auch Kirchen, die einen „Disziplinraum” haben, den Eltern nutzen können.

Catholic Church still has excommunication. So does Jehovah witnesses.

Basically if you sin and do not repent you are condemned to an eternity of fire and brimstone
@CallMeWhatever I would have thought that repentance is the preferred way to deal with it. Shaming a punishing would have the opposite effect

Here it means a prayer followed by a spanking or punishment.

@MrsRachelEvans Oh, okay, but that's pretty strict.

@kleinemaus as it should be
What do you mean? I've been in few churches where this kind of adversity needed addressed. There is one example I could name, and there were biblical directives that needed to be applied for disruptive elements within

My ancestors stems from the Amish. The most severe discipline they have is shunning when no one speaks to you.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Pfuzylogic probably not called this, yet they likely have a form of excommunication.

@DeWayfarer
Excommunication (the Bann)
Shunning (the Meidung): This is the social behavioral response that usually follows excommunication. It involves altering public social behavior toward the person, such as refusing to eat meals at the same table, avoiding business transactions, or excluding them from certain community activities.
Pulled this from Google of course
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Pfuzylogic I'm more referring total exclusion from the whole community at large. That is what excommunication is with Catholics.

This subject is on SW mainly for use by spanking fetish apes.

@InstructHer She got seven firm paddle swats over her skirt and then double that over her BARE! She managed it very well and never left position. She must have felt the effects for quite a while!
Best they can muster in this age is a excommunication…
