Idk. I don't think so. Today I was talking to a friend who was telling me that a pastor's wife from HI was contacting her, sending her a video about spanking which basically was the same philosophy as the Pearl's. The guy wasn't teaching the pearl stuff, but it was the same premise- "you need to start spanking young(as young as 6 months) and spank A LOT- as much as 15 times a day. If a child is still resistant/rebellious, you need more intense disciplining sessions. If they still don't respond, tag team between parents. This is the problem with the USA today- christians aren't doing this. If you don't do it this way, you are a neglectful and hateful parent." My friend was wrestling with it- the fact that this woman felt the need to contact her with this info out of nowhere. My friend is also a relatively new christian- maybe 5 years in the faith, and so she was going back and forth in her mind about it, seeing as though the lady who contacted her has been a christian her whole life.
