The current Kool-Aid Watchtower has a life story by a guy named Fred Rusk who grew up in the 1930's. Notice his understandable response to being forced to attend the Baptist Church.

"Serving Jehovah Has Been My Delight -- as told by Fred Rusk"
Grandfather's older daughters managed the household. Although he was not a religious man, his daughters were strict Southern Baptists. Under threat of a beating, I was forced to attend church every Sunday. So from an early age, I had little regard for religion.

Yet, two decades later, what was the Watchtower promoting?

*** w54 1/15 p. 58 par. 15 Disciplining Children for Life ***
15 Did any of you children ever get in trouble for not sitting still, maybe during a meeting? You should go to the fawn, you restless ones, and consider its ways, and be wise. A mother deer will conceal its baby or fawn and instruct it to freeze motionless, and it will remain without moving for hours. Rarely do fawns disobey and move, but if they do they get a spanking from sharp mother hoofs.
*** w54 1/15 p. 62 par. 27 Disciplining Children for Life ***
27 You parents know what you must do. You children know what you must do. Jehovah knows what he will do. If we obey him, he will do things for us. If we disobey him, he will do things to us. Remember, the meek will inherit the earth; the rebellious will return to the earth. Let us try to inhabit it, not return to it.
