My apologies too, it seems I've started something I didn't mean to. If you look at the whole website http://www.nospank.net ... its devoted to Anti child spanking. It mentions examples of other people from countries and regilions who overly spank their children. Those JW's were just one of them.

Nuts are attracted to oddball religions. Structure and rules make them feel comfortable, and beating up little kids make them feel powerful. While JWs alone are not responsible for beating children to death, they have a love affair with corporal punishment. Therefore, they attract parents who have the mentality that physical abuse is acceptable if you do it for Jehovah.
This is what happens when things go wrong. A dead kid. For a lost wallet.

The only reason why parents don't commit corporal punishment today is because the government has decided how to punish our children. If you spank your child and someone or the child tell the teacher at school then the parents go to jail and loose their kids. I just want to know one thing here ?
Where the hell was the government when I was a kid and being beat profusely ? I can say that today even though I was raised in a very rough upbringing I am mentally stable and a responsible person, so I guess all those beatings wasn't that bad after all.

Wrong. I don't spank my children because all it proves is that I'm physically stronger than them. We humans have mouths, you know. We can communicate on their level and they can understand concepts including empathy and morals without getting beat to death.
Spanking is not necessary 95% of the time and is only used by parents who have not taken the time nor made the effort to understand and implement MORE SOUND and realistic parenting techniques.

LDH,
I agree with you and I was not meaning we should beat our children, but not always talking does the trick either, and as parents we should be allowed to give spankings when it is a last resort. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

our CO or maybe it was the DO advocated FROM THE STAGE, a flick across the upper lip (which really hurts, my friends and I used to do that to each other...) if the kid wasn't behaving themself at the door.
He was a real hard ass. Brother Saint-Clair was his name.

Old Flame, agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaking as a child who received 'beatings' or the more politically correct terms "spankings" on regular occasions. Switches, belts, didn't matter.
I find that most parents that spank are short on patience and have a high level of frustration over the things they believe the children are 'intentionally' doing to them. That's a pretty common theme among parents that beat. For beaters, it is more about relieving their frustration than teaching a lesson. Almost any episode of Wife Swap or Trading Spouses will prove my point.
As a society we should not tolerate violence against helpless children. Now frying murderers on death row, that is right up my alley.

Isn't that the one that gave his little daughter over 100 lashes? He is a sick sadist and hopefully he will spend many years behind bars.

The poor little girl. I have no doubt at all that the story is true. It's heartbreaking how insanity is coddled within the congregation.

LDH said," For beaters, it is more about relieving their frustration than teaching a lesson.
I have to say that I agree 100% with this statement. My dad beat us when he was really pi$$ed off...and when he was frustrated about finances etc. So it was regularly. And he came from a father who had a vicious temper and would beat anything and anyone who got in his way. It was never about teaching a valuable lesson, it was about anger, and showing who was boss. We raised our children VERY differently.
