Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Ted Tripp is coming to my church for a Parenting seminar

I am going to try to keep this short.

:

Last year we went through a 'phase' of not being able to find the *right* church and after visiting church after church after church...we've come to the conclusion that there is NO perfect church.

If it's not this thing it would most likely be another...

So that said, if I were you (which I'm not so take THAT with a grain of salt

I would not attend any of the parenting seminars now or in the future at this church unless it was a seminar on GBD parenting.

You seem to really love your church besides this 1 thing...that's not too bad ya know?
I am sure that within that same church there is 1 family who abhors the way some dress (and it's just as important to them as GBD is to you), that there is 1 family who thinks anyone for putting their kids in PS is nuts, that there is 1 family who believes that kids should not be allowed to date until 18 and graduated, that kids should not have a drivers liscense at age 16 and the list really could go on....

So again you say you love this church, does the church constitution, doctorine, or covenant say anything at all re: we must spank blah blah..if not then personally I'd not leave a church that I otherwise loved as much as you appear to love yours...I would just skip the seminars. And the next time you hear hard core preaching from the pulpit on spanking, well it's quite easy to excuse yourself right?

Just a different view.
