I agree that maybe some of the older moms could step forward. That way the kids, who once were punished but now raised GBD, would be able to understand what's going on and could be counseled about what lies ahead. With little ones, it could be very confusing to them.

I knew this would be one of the challenges we would face........the willingness? or ability? (I'm not sure the exact word I'm looking for...it is escaping me right now, sorry) to step forward. I know this is a very, very tough decision to make and I know there could be repercussions toward those that do but I also know that in order for this to go forward, someone probably will need to step forward. I am truely sorry about this. I wish I had the story to tell but I don't...I wish I could have raised my DC the GBD way, but I didn't know anything about GBD. That's why on the other thread I said that I would support you in any way I could. I feel like I've backed you into a corner and that now it's come down to "shut up or put up" to either be quiet about the Pearls and Ezzos or bring forth the proof. I believe what is decided here will have a big effect on whether or not this issue goes any further in the news.

If you feel too uncomfortable coming forward.....God may provide a person from another gentle discipline board that could do it. Do any of you know of other moms on other boards who have left the Pearl/Ezzo teachings? Please don't fret or stew over this, we can still make an impact through prayer and prayer is the most powerful tool we have....plus, it may mean that we have to be a little more creative in our thinking and actions. A to all of you as we continue to think and pray.
