The sea is a non profit educational organization whose members learn about medieval history by living it. It is the same method used by other a living history societies such As civil War Reen actors and Black powder Buckskin enthusiasts to name a very few. The sea is now nearly 27 years old and has a Large International membership that studies the Middle Ages in All its aspects. The sea practices a form of the martial arts of that time but As a sport not As preparation to slay trolls and dragons and Many members Are involved in research in the arts and crafts of the Middle Ages. We educate ourselves by attempting to re create the spirit of the time just As other Quot living history organizations do. We Are not just role players gone haywire. A sgt. John p. Van Hassel Giessen Germany society Isnit liked amp a i am responding to the writer who referred to the society for creative anachronism As a live action role playing game. I suppose it could be viewed that Way but More important the sea is an International non profit educational organization sanctioned in 1968 by the state of California and founded to promote the ideals crafts martial arts and history of the Middle Ages. The fighting is generally the most visible activity at our demonstrations simply because it draws More attention than something like Basket weaving. One of the Many things members of the society do is Volunteer at elementary and High schools in order to teach various subjects related to medieval life . Calligraphy and illumination in Art class cooking or sewing in Home economics Armor construction in Metal shop Etc. Children must be of Legal age to be allowed to fight in Competition. However at the age of 16 and with parental consent they May learn the Basic principles of swordplay fencing and Archery. Yes we do have events designed to encompass and feel like the Middle Ages but the organization is neither a game nor anything resembling dungeons and dragons and the two should not be confused or interchanged with each other. A Teresa a Nava Vaughn Rota Spain Bible says inflict pain a recent writer stated she was sure the Bible did no to instruct us to inflict pain. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here Are but a few of the verses showing god inflicting pain or instructing us to inflict pain on our fellow Man god said Quot i will not pity nor spare nor have mercy but destroy them. Jeremiah 13 14 a thus Saith the lord god of Israel put every Man his sword by his Side and go in and out from Gate to Gate throughout the Camp and slay every Man his brother and every Man his companion and every Man his  exodus 32 27 god sends the israelite out to a slay both Man and woman infant and suckling. A i Samuel 15 2,3 a out of the Mouth of the most High proceed eth not evil and Good a lamentations 3 38 a i make peace and. Create evil i the lord do All these  Isaiah 45 7 a thou Shalt break them heathens with a Rod of Iron. A psalms 2 9 a a Rod is for the Back of him that is void of  proverbs 10 13 this not Only shows that a Rod is indeed to be used for beating people but that the mentally retarded should be beaten. _ a the that Pareth his Rod hat eth his son but he that Loveth him Cha Teneth him  proverbs 13 24 Leviticus 20 10 says that adulterers must be put to death. Verse 13 of the same chapter Calls for death to practising homosexuals. A rather stiff penalty in both cases. Jesus said a the that hath no sword let him sell his garment and buy  Luke 22 36 Jesus Saia a if any Man come to me and hate not his father and Mother and wife and children and Brethren and Sisters Yea and his own life also he cannot be my  Luke 14 26 Jesus said a think not that i am come to Send peace on Earth i came not to Send peace but a sword. For i am come to set a Man at variance against his father and the daughter against her Mother and the daughter in Law against her  Matthew 10 34,35 this shows that the Bible tells us to inflict pain on other people. It also shows you  make claims As to what a Book says or does not say until you have read it. A Frank d.

Those who Are interested Mav also Call Gila Erving Montfort at 690-1697, or Pat Mccarroll Wood 656-2260, 1 May Ause a Board of education this is in reply to the letter titled a Rod of child discipline on March 2. The misunderstanding concerning the use of a Rod to Correct a child a misconduct with a physical spanking is not on the part of those who administer such correction but rather is a misunderstanding by those who do not know gods word. The scriptures never once say a spare the Rod and spoil the child a unless you include poor Richards almanac m the holy writ. Rather the scriptures say a the that Pareth his Rod hat eth his son but he that Loveth him Cha Teneth him  in other words if you fail to spank your child when it is needed then you Are telling that child. 1 Don t care if you grow up rebellious and undisciplined. The scripture also leaves no doubt of its meaning of the words used for a a Rod and  you would find that the Rod is a stick Cut from a tree generally used to punish. The staff is used by the Shepherd to guide the sheep. The Bible never portrays our children As our a a sheep Ana we As their  children Are human beings with the inherent nature to do wrong. We must teach them to do right. Children Are also incapable of intellectual discourse concerning the advantages and disadvantages of proper behaviour weighted by the future gratification of living a Well disciplined and peaceful life. All too often have i seen children throw fits in the commissary or Exchange As their parents cower and beg them to be Good. What is needed is not a kind word from a their Shepherd a but a Swift end decisive Board of education applied to their seat of learning a the Rev. . Thornsel Walldorf Germany look beyond behaviour in response to a Rod of child discipline a i understand what you Are saying in your letter but Are we too Quick to judge others i too have questioned the spanking or foul talk coming from parents. Do we look beyond that probably not. The Parent s May not know any other Way. Perhaps it was the Way they were raised maybe there is a situation in their lives that gives them stress. We do not know what is going on inside that person. I May dislike the Way an impatient Parent is handling the situation but some people just do not know any other Way.
