  JW Children in Meetings

  2. experiences

  hi my first post.. for the people that grew up in the religon, do you have any memory of being spanked for not sitting still in the meeting?

  i see kids acting like kids but the parents take them out and spank them for something like not sitting still.

  some of my worst memories are my father taking me out for a beating with a belt or his hand.

  a few weeks ago the pastor at our church gave the sermon from the book of esther.
