Andee	Re: BEAT that Child!
	Being beaten, and being threatened to being beaten, was a prominent parenting tool with my JW Dad. It wasn't all JW influenced because he came from a poor southern family, that wasn't JW, that subscribed to the "Go pick your own switch off the tree" mentality. His favorite tool, however, was the belt. The purple strap marks that I got on my back and legs as a result of those beatings, was something I was determined my own children would never have to experience. Here's sad story. When I "worked" I supervised a JW woman. I remember her telling me, with a bit of pride, I might add, how her little granddaughter wouldn't sit still at the meeting the night before. She explained how her son had to take her in the back and give her a good spanking. And how she could hear her sad cries. Her granddaughter was 18 months old. Andee
