I am abhor the practice of beating/whipping a child. I knew many that did it when I was growing up and some that still do. I am not against the very rare swat on the backside of a young child that is throwing a fit or behaving really badly (hurting another child, throwing objects, screaming tantrum, etc). This is only to get their quick attention and is done with an open hand and not done any harder than you would if you were playing or roughhousing with your child. Never to inflict pain or harm. I am a firm believer that using any sort of implement to strike your child should be grounds for criminal prosecution. No belts. No switches, No paddles. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
But if we observe other species of animals (mostly large mammals) that have similar social structures as humans (apes, monkeys, big cats, canines, elephants, even cetaceans and pinnipeds) and observe the behavior of parent animals disciplining and correcting their youngsters we will see that animals often have to show some sort of force and dominance over their young to train them in the expected social manners of the family unit or pack or herd, whatever. This discipline and dominance is NOT done with any malice or true anger by the animals. It is done in a way that gets the attention of the youngster but without harming them or scarring them emotionally and breaking their spirit.
Sadly, I have seen many JW children with broken spirits because their awful parents used "the rod" scripture as an excuse to have open season on their children. It is disgusting and shows the lack of love and lack of intelligence these parents have. What I know for sure, those parents get paid back tenfold for their abusiveness by their children one day.

I am JW.ORG
by LogCon infamous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

So, so, so embarrassing. It makes me so uncomfortable to think about "worldly people" who have known JW's for years and years and, although not having any interest in JW-ness, had a certain level of respect for JW's as being serious bible students. But with this JW.org trinket nonsense......... I am mortified at what those people think of "us" (them).

The Old Hippie, these "zone visits" have never been piped in to every KH in the zone and hyped for months on end as some sort of "special meeting" ever before. I have been in the JW community for DECADES too and I could not tell you one thing about what a "zone visit" entails. Why is 2014 different? I think that is the point of this thread, isn't it?

As far as I know all the conventions in 2014 have been called "regional" and all the uber-dubs use this proper, new "theocratic language".

Blondie, I think "district" has been replaced by "regional" as of last year.

This "special meeting" is a "Zone Visit". No, I have no clue what a "Zone Visit" entails (doing inventory? checking the supply rooms for paper products? reviewing the landscape maintenance records? taking all the slaves employees out to Subway for lunch?) or what its significance is. All I can picture in my mind is a bunch of old codgers who run an international real estate empire headquartered in NY and declaring one day that they will make a "Zone Visit" to the country they have already been in the last 364 days. Will the GB wear hard hats and reflective safety vests? Will they have badges like inspectors? It is sorta like someone who picks boogers from their nose 364 days a year but on one "special day" they declare to themselves that it is "Special Interior Nose Inspection Day", you know..... to make it extra special.
I won't be attending.

I thought we were supposed to be concerned with Universal Sovereignty issues. But no, instead we have old men (and pathetic 50something virgins like Sanderson) in stuffy offices giving dating advice, followed by marriage advice and then sex advice.
Power hungry. That is all they are. They love to control other people.
