Friends,
I was asked this question by a child in my Bible Study Youth Group just the other day - Why do some children stutter / stammer? Is it because they're gay? Or effeminite? Or is it due to some sort of mental retardation? Or Demonic Possession?
When I questioned him more about his choice of question, it turns out there's a kid in his highschool with a stutter / stammer, who apparently everyone picks on. He wanted to know if it was ok for him to bully him too.
Now, I don't know much about people who suffer from stuttering retardations, so I decided to look it up online. That's when I found THIS....
"THE HOW TO STOP STUTTERING CENTRE"
Stuttering when talking to girls? Stammering when talking to people in Authority? ... I don't know what this all sounds to you, but to me this guy sounds like a complete homo!
Not only that, but he refers to his stutter as a 'speech-IMPEDIMENT'. ie. Some sort of retardation that's cause by your brain not working properly. We also know there are many Demons out there who can cause many of these mental illnesses.
Has anyone else on here had to deal with a person with a stutter? How did you deal with it? And what does the Bible say on this matter?

"THE HOW TO STOP STUTTERING CENTRE"
Understanding why people stutter
During the time of my life when I had a stutter, I found it difficult to meet new people.
I would in fact shy away from such a thing and would rarely put myself into a position where I was likely to meet anybody new.
For some reason I would stutter more when talking to people I did not know.
Once I had got to know the particular person my fluency levels would normally improve but still not to a level that I was happy with.
On occasions, people would notice that I had a stutter and would attempt to take an interest in the subject. Other people would also notice, it is of course impossible not to, but they would carry on as if I had spoken fluently. On the rare occasions where people took an interest, I would be asked certain questions such as:
"Why do people stutter?"
"How did your stutter start?"
"Have you had the stutter ever since you were born?"
"Is stuttering some kind of nervous condition?"
"Is there a cure for stuttering?"
Some might say that I should have been happy that people were taking an interest in my speech impediment.
The problem was that I used to find it hard to answer questions without stuttering, I also was somebody who actually did not like talking (for obvious reasons), and I also did not know the all of the answers to the questions that I was being asked.
I was a very quiet person, I liked to keep myself to myself.
