I completely agree with you, ShepherdsWife. People who find the more mainstream philosophies of independence as early as possible off putting will find the attachment the Pearls promote very comfortable. If they are Christians, this is possibly the first place they have found that is safe for them to be both Christian and AP. Add in the very light spanking they say they follow and you just found everything you could possibly ever hope to find. The poison they use is so sweet that by the time you realize you are in trouble, you are very ill. More than once I have thanked God for this place. My daughter is strong willed (though I prefer to think of her as persistent) and autistic, it is not hyperbole to say that she would hate me for all that I did to her and I would have no idea what to do about her rebellion.
Hermana Linda is right about the way they view spanking and training. If you ignore the blows that are just to train, then spanking is almost non existent. I can easily see how you can be sucked into this before you know it. My cousin loves NGJ and posts a lot of memes from them. I liked a couple of them before I realized what they were because the quotes could have come from here. In fact there were several that sounded just like paraphrasing things Arms of Love has written. Others have been the exact same advice I got from other women on GCM.
