133 Beat With Love

Song 133 — “Beat With Love”
A satirical protest track exposing how Jehovah’s Witnesses taught parents worldwide to “discipline” children with physical punishment — excused as being done “with love.” While framed as spiritual guidance, in many countries this was (and is) illegal. This parody highlights the absurdity and dangers of such teachings, using satire as both protest and testimony.

Context (personal)

I sought accountable, transparent answers from leadership — from local elders up to the Governing Body — and experienced disciplinary action simply for raising those concerns. That long, arduous process remains unresolved and is now with law enforcement and society. This video highlights the dangers of unquestioned authority and calls for child safety, accountability, and open dialogue.

⚠️ Trigger warning: references to child physical punishment and institutional harm.

Personal note

This parody & song-parable for essential critical examination comes from my own experience seeking transparent answers from elders through to the branch/Governing Body. I was disciplined simply for raising concerns — while quoting and upholding, obediently, Governing Body representative Geoffrey Jackson’s sworn testimony to the Australian Royal Commission. The case is now with police.

This piece is satire and a call for accountability and child safety. Please share experiences below, keep comments respectful, and if you are in immediate danger, call local emergency services.
