I wasnt going to keep commenting either and cant speak for nancy Campbell because I have only just met her one time (at the adoptino info meeting we attended where I knew nothing about ARs or their church doctrine)but most anyone I know here would love to spend an afternoon with the 2 dds I personally know.One time we spent a Sunday afternoon in a park sitting on blankets with babies nursing or crawling around on the grass and kids playing and the adults playing various kinds of instruments like guitars and hand drums and doing impromptu worship music and handing out healthy snacks to the kids (except when the ice cream man drove thru and everyone had a snow-cone ) we were there for many hours and nobodys child was spanked or taken to a car to be spanked - like some of the fams I know who were involved with Pearl stuff for awhile would do.I didnt know anything about Gothard at the time but did know about some Pearl & Ezzo stuff and didnt see any of that kind of stuff.I dont subscribe to AR or get their newsletters and wouldnt want to.I went to a parenting class one Wednesday evening at the church where the one dd attends and spanking wasnt even mentioned or hinted at as a tool.The guy teaching this class wasnt using any kind of book or formula - just some suggestions from his parenting experiences,some I agreed with,some I thought were interesting,some I wouldnt personally use.
