Thank you brother for your most welcomed thoughts. You are absolutely right. I know that children are beaten at Kingdom Halls, because (I) was one of them that was. Back in the 50s you either sat there and kept your mouth shut, or you got a trip outside.
My folks even went to extremes, my brother and I would get our pants pulled down, right in front of God and everybody, and get a good beating. Some years later when the laws began to come down on this treatment, many Jehovah's Witnesses would not take their children outside where anyone could see the whipping, they would just take the children to the restroom, and whip them in the restroom, where no could see what was going on.
You could hear children screaming in the public talk, all the way from the bathrooms. Terrible way to teach children, that God is love. Thank you so very much Gary Buss for your thoughts, your comments are always so very encouraging. Keep up the good work brother, and christian love to you and your family.----Voyager
