JW urban legend. Another story that is unverifiable but makes you feel good.

The prick of a man (her father) will obviously be good elder material. Any man that can cut his daughter's fingers off could do well in the congo where he can cut hearts, minds, and balls. They found their man. Probably will become a CO in short time.

If this story were at all factual, and the father truly was Yakuza, upon leaving the Yakuza,he would be dead. Period.

This is BS! It`s true that the Yakuza cuts of fingers, there are strict rules to this practice: It is reserved for initiated members of the (mafia)-organisation, and the cutting off of a finger is done by the victim himself, on himself, as a form of penance/apology, and the cut-off part is then handed to the boss in the form of a sacrifice. It`s not something a sadistic father would do to a disobedient daughter. The tradition is mentioned here, under "rituals": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuza
Wouldn`t surprise me if this bs-story came from Japan itself, as the japanese mafia is surrounded by mystery and legends. Most japanese people knows very little about it.

I also feel it's a wild story put out for the purpose of manipulating the JW masses into becoming devoted to the self serving, man made organisation that is perennially deceiving them. Give them a high standard to reach making them feel ashamed and worthless because they are so far beneath a fellow JW.
Also make them feel insecure about what the future could hold for them = fostering the crippling persecution complex. -

I pretty sure I've heard more or less the same story involving an Italian mafia family in New York.
Reckon that was the version I heard years ago. Just another dub urban legend for the uneducated and the non-thinkers.
