all sounds familiar. often after getting the crap beat out of me my mom would tell me i should thank jehovah for giving me such a good mommy because worldy people treat their children badly... if I didn't sit still during the meeting it wasnt a spoon it was a smack to the face and if that didnt work it was a beating in the back of the hall. i remember during one meeting one 'brother' came in back and said to my dad to do that outside because it was distracting from the talk. i think the org does something to people...takes already unstable personalities and gives them 'god's wprd' to justify their distructive urges.

my mum taught us very valuable lessons about Jehovah in her special way. Any other parents out there as psycho?
by God Chick inok before i start i know my mum was um "special" and had some, well...... bizzare training ideas.. .
i was one of 7 kids, dad didnt help much coz he was sick, so my mum was left to run the 'ship' and she did it with an iron fist.. .
we were never late for a meeting we sat, parents and 2 kids in one row the other 5 in row in front.

Are these things still frowned upon/banned?.
by zzaphod inthinking back, there were a few things i was told then, that now seem rather odd and petty.
i was wondering if these thing are common in the wts or was it just that my girlfriend at the time was a pioneer, and her father was an elder.
(so perhap a bit more "enthusiastic" than others).
