i completely lost it and could not keep the tears back and my throat choked with grattitude to these men and my country.

i had missed feeling patriotic soooo much!

Kingdom Hall Spankings
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.
