FLIPPER:
I might have read about your nightmarish spanking story once before. But I am glad you are telling it again for all the newbies who need to hear these things.
I will give you the answer I probably gave you then: the brothers who did this to you have SERIOUS issues. They are lucky you didn't pay them back with the serious revenge they deserve. Probably the reason your story hits home with me is that I remember being a little child and having (non-JW parents) insensitive of my modesty. One time in a doctor's office, my idiot of a mother (God rest her soul), encourages the perv doctor to look down my panties for some reason. I was mortified and always wondered if my mother was getting 'off' on it in some way. I was glad when I was old enough to defend myself. It isn't funny to have an adult try to do anything like this to a child - whether as a sick joke or otherwise.
As far as the other sick bethel stories, all I have to say is that none of this sounds remotely Christlike and I cannot help but wonder what kind of awful twisted thinking goes on the heads of some of the stupid people in this idiotic religion. Do they imagine, in their arrogance, that they can DO anything and get away with it? Or, perhaps even be rewarded for it? Sounds like cultic, secretive institutions have sick behavior like this going on. If somebody dares to complain, some arrogant idiot (with serious issues of his own) will say: what's the matter, can't you take it?
This religion has only been around a little over a century. Can you imagine what atrocities would exist behind closed doors if it were around for several hundred years?
