I always thought it was somehow MY FAULT that I didn't have the same wonderful results everyone else claimed to have. I just knew I must not be doing it right... not consistant enough, not strict enough, not committed enough.

This is exactly how Pearl means for parents to feel when the his method doesn't work. He teaches it outright.

No more strife = happiness. No struggles = joy. No problems = a good life. Funny, I can't find that concept in the Bible anywhere.

Yep...

and when it really sinks in that Pearl is misrepresenting what JOY is all about (joy = being in control of your kids/life) that's when it becomes easier to see the fallacies in everything else he teaches.

Just like with anything in life, you can't experience reality in a meaningful way if you're desparately clinging to an unattainable fantasy of how it "should" be.
