Did he do it because he's a fifth-generation JW?
Discuss.
There are cultural and genarational issues beyond JWism . Most children were spanked (not punched or whipped) a short while ago and none of them were nannified like nowadays. I saw a guy trying to sue a neighbor because they 'hurt his feelings' by calling him a name. geesh.
I have never spanked my children but this is down to each parent to make the decision and at the moment its not against the law so they are doing nothing wrong. Yet you get a self rightous exjw who think they are far better parents simply because they havent spanked a child. duh.
