My families strict christian religion were told spare the rod and spoil the child. They used to do it in front of the congregation and mostly it waa for things like being restless while sitting on hard wooden benches for hours or not paying attention. It was very cruel.
@meggie Catholic schools were also notorious for corporal punishment. And these people wonder why so many folks leave the church as soon as they’re able.
@meggie They did say that a lot. It isn't official dogma and I never was sure what a rod was. But I got the gist of it and it always made my bottom tingle and me worry!
