April 1991 Ensign

She reached for the pinewood paddle. The horror stories of a generation of blistered bottoms flashed across our memories. Mrs. Frost escorted us to opposite sides of the big oak desk. Staring across at Sara was like looking in the mirror at my own guilty, terrified face. “Now both of you close your eyes and keep them closed. What’s about to happen is not a pretty sight.”

She commanded us to bend way over the desk. We did. I wondered if Sara’s legs were shaking as badly as mine. Bobby McKinney always said it hurt worse if you tensed up. Would she spank me first or Sara?

WHAP! It was Sara. Sara gave kind of a delayed little whimper which made me start to sniffle. Sara started to cry. I wanted to look, but dared not. I tried to relax for my swat.

WHAP! Sara again, and that one sounded just wicked. Sara was sobbing by then. I joined in, out of sympathy or anxiety, I knew not.


The word of God.

I have sometimes thought this scene similar to Tom Sawyer's taking Becky's switching for her.

Only not so well told.

All the Best!

Well, that's cuz young Tom was a masochist, and thought Becky might be more a sadist spectator. He's was hoping they were an S&M fit.

It does seem like the principle of obedience is an S&M game to them doesn't it?

There you are again, bcspace. Here, in case you missed it the other times:

(1) Saying that X is in Y is to say that everything in Y is X.

(2) Saying that teaching from Y ensures that pure X will be taught is the same as saying that everything in Y is pure X.

Is (1) true or false?

Is (2) true or false?

You seem to have a knack for not answering straightforward questions.
