c To qualify for privileges in the Christian congregation, a man must not be “a smiter”​—that is, one who strikes others physically or browbeats them verbally. Thus, the September 1, 1990, issue of The Watchtower states on page 25: “A man does not qualify if he acts in a godly way elsewhere but is a tyrant at home.”​—1 Timothy 3:2-5, 12.
