The thing is though, if you truely use the wepon the way the Pearls say to, that so called line, isnt really there.. Sure, they would never say murder your child.. But they DO say to spank until the child is "repentant" And initiates healing the relationship. If they don't do that, or they continue to cry, you are supposed to continue to spank... How is that not advocating things like this??????

I think you're right, Jennie. Saying that there is a line is protective for the Pearls. I am not sure how useful it is for parents and children. This is so sad.
