Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
My children will be the police officers, lawyers, child advocates and judges that have to arrest and prosecute your children and grandchildren for the abuse they have wrought on future generations. And they won't be laughing; they'll be crying at the pain and destruction your child disciplining methods have caused. |

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
Okay, coming back because I've figured out what is really bugging me (beyond horrid insensitivity). Much of that "laughter" is totally inappropriate.
My kids love homeschooling. I brought home new books the other day and you would have thought it was Christmas. They were thrilled. But they absolutely do NOT laugh when I announce that it's time to do this-or-that subject. It's NOT a funny statement. They may express excitement or disappointment (depending on the subject in question), but they don't laugh about it. I love to laugh, but you laugh when something is FUNNY. If my children routinely laughed when I announced it was time to do school, I would have psychological evaluations done. I don't laugh when I discipline my children. It would be highly inappropriate. My children wouldn't dream of hitting and then laughing about it. That's a psychologically inappropriate response. My children don't laugh when I come home from work. They run and wag around like nutso kids, but me coming home isn't funny. It's exciting. It's joyful. But it's not funny. Don't get me wrong, we laugh A LOT. (I have quite a wit. ) Laughing like described in the statement, though, doesn't reflect a true joy, but some sort of psychological trauma. |

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
So people are upset that a child is dead and another is seriously hurt and he is laughing.

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
You're a better woman than I am, because I'm somewhat considering it! Maybe I'll just do what Jesus did and turn over a few book tables at the next home school conference :
wow, I should probably go have a quiet time. |

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
Yep.. Isn't laughter(and making jokes) sometimes a coping mechanism for people? For some it's either laugh or cry. Laugh or have a nervous break-down.

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
ITA, Laura. Laughter is totally inappropriate to the situation he's addressing (the death of a child) and in the situations he's describing. It comes across more that he's laughing at his critics.
The more I think about it, the more it seems he's protesting too much. He made a statement already, it would be more appropriate to stay silent and let the original statement stand - by making such inappropriate blog posts he's just stirring up more anger and emotion and making it worse for himself and his "ministry." :gag Legally, all these little jabs and arrogant "statements" could back to bite him in the butt. |

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
I remember spanking my babydoll when I was little, probably about 3 or 4. My mom saw and asked why I hit my baby, and I said, "I didn't hit her, I spanked her." she said, "why did you spank her?" I said, "because I love her."

Does he have no PR working for him? Is there no filter between his thought and the publication of his blog?

Re: NEW Pearl Statement. Gag.
Laura, that is exactly what was going through my own mind when I read the "statement". He mentioned that his children laugh when he laughs, and I can just imagine the fear of a time he WASN'T joyful, because then they are being beaten

I wish people would stop confusing GBD with permissiveness. OH, and FWIW, I was spanked and haven't become a *productive* member of society. I was in administration before I had kids, now I'm a stay at home mom.... and I'm in counseling....
