Waiting,
Please be aware that the act of disciplining children - whether beatings, whippings, no food, tied to the bed, rapings.......all have been going on for .....well, since recorded history. Naturally, including Bible history also.Rape and murder have also occurred throughout history, but that does not excuse these acts. Child abuse is unacceptable, regardless of past history.
While it's true that folks in other religions also abuse children, I know of no mainstream religion where abuse is not only condoned, but encouraged. Other religions provide child-care facilities for young children who cannot sit still during worship, but JWs provide beatings for kids with short attention spans. Additionally, JWs encourage the exploitation of children via forced marketing activities on behalf of their cult. Don't try to minimize the abuse suffered by children at the hands of JWs.
