conflicted	Re: BEAT that Child!
	I alluded to this in another thread, and rather than reitterate, I'm just gonna cut and paste: It's been hinted at, people have listed their experiences, and the WTS is already backpedalling and distancing themselves. I can only come to one conclusion: The WTS is a hotbed for abusive parents! I'm not going to compare this situation to pedophelia because it's completely different. With the molester the society just turns it's head and pretends it doesn't exist, with the abusers the society actually teaches, trains and supports the parents who do it! They preach about using the rod in discipline - and they don't mean as a measuring tool or a guide. They repeatedly use the scriptures about '40 strokes less one' and stoning incidents of children as examples in proper discepline. When parents put questions to the elders about proper discepline I, in my own experience, have never heard anything about talking to your children, grownding or taking away privelidges, or any other punishment other than spanking or beating. NEVER. Parents are always swatting kids in meetings and studies. The elders commend parents to make your children an example and not to let them be disruptive - they know what happens when someone takes their kids to the back - they did it themselves with their kids. What makes anyone think it's any better in their own homes where nobody is watching? The WTS are breeding abusers just as much, if not more, than they are hiding molesters.
