Helmikuun Vartiotornista, sarjaa "miten tällaista voi kukaan uskoa":
12 Selma recalls a lesson she learned
from the Witness who studied with her.
“On one particular day,” says Selma, “I
didn’t want to have a Bible study. The
night before, STEVE HAD HIT ME as I HAD
TRIED TO PROVE A POINT, and I was feeling
sad and sorry for myself. After I told
the sister what had happened and how
I felt, she asked me to read 1 Corinthians
13:4-7. As I did, I began to reason,
‘Steve never does any of these loving
things for me.’ But the sister made me
think differently by asking, ‘How many
of those acts of love do you show toward
your husband?’ My answer was,
‘None, for he is so difficult to live with.’
The sister softly said, ‘Selma, WHO IS
TRYING TO BE CHRISTIAN HERE? YOU OR
STEVE?’ Realizing that I needed to adjust
my thinking,** I prayed to Jehovah to help
me be more loving toward Steve. Slowly,
things started to change.”After 17 years,
Steve accepted the truth. - Vartiotorni 15. Helmikuuta 2012 s. 25
Huomattavaa on, miten artikkeli ei mitenkään kuvaa lyömistä huonona asiana.
MIKÄÄN asia ei anna oikeutta lyödä, potentiaalisesti fataaleja neuvoja väkivaltaisessa suhteessa eläville.
ÄLKÄÄ JÄÄKÖ VÄKIVALTAISEEN PARISUHTEESEEN.
Häpeä Vartiotorniseura, tämä on törkeintä tekstiä pitkään aikaan.

Valitettavasti hyvin yleinen asenne myös ei-uskovien parissa, jossa lyötyä syyllistetään oikealta ja vasemmalta.
Hyvä pointti myös uskonnottomille lukijoille.
