I recently met a woman here at work (a contractor) and discovered she is an ex-JW. Eventually we got around to telling why each of us left the religion. She said the main reason for her was not doctrines, but because she was tired of the physical and emotional abuse she received. She went on to tell me that she often got "genesis" spankings. When I asked what that was, I was shocked by her reply. She said from 6 to 16, when she did something bad enough, she would get a genesis spanking which meant she had to disrobe for the punishment.
She said that she often got it right after the Sunday meeting and her parents would make her go to her room and take her dress off and wait for them. When they came in they would make her drop her underwear for anywhere from 4 to 12 swats with a paddle while quoting the scriptures about not witholding punishment from a child. The reason it's called a genesis spanking is because you are in the buff like Adam and Eve. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
