Re: Salon Article on Pearls
It's chilling to read people's responses.
So many people with similar horror story childhoods. So many people who are closed to the Gospel because they were beaten in the name of Jesus. Debra Baker |

Re: Salon Article on Pearls
Another good article, with good links, so readers unfamiliar with these methods can see that there are places that actually sell these "implements."

I remember my cousin holding her Ds, who was under 8 months old at the time, and trying to get him to sleep(though he wasn't tired, she just didn't want us playing w/him b/c she didn't/doesn't like us) and she was holding him towards her telling him "get on your knees' over and over and when he wouldn't bend his knees, she smacked his legs really hard. Didn't work. Just made him mad instead. So then she grabbed his legs and bent his knees herself, which I'm sure wasn't good for his little bitty knees.. I felt so bad for the poor guy.. I was ready to smack HER for it and see how she liked it! Quote:

Re: Salon Article on Pearls
I think we have quite a few moms here who were negatively effected by the parenting gurus that prey upon the good intentions of young parents.
It's amazing to me to read some of their stories. Thanks for the reminder. |

Re: Salon Article on Pearls
Wow, when you read the article on the Pearls and then click on the blog Doc's Sunrise Rants we Christians really have a bad reputation. Kinda scary, makes trying to witness about the love of Christ so much harder when people view us as lunatics who abuse children. Where do these people come off saying that they are training their children the way God trains us?
