Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
I agree, there's no line when you're relying on someone else telling you how to parent.

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
I have had enough. Pearl's tactics are abuse. Plain and simple. He advocates for abuse towards women and children and it's got to be stopped. It can't be allowed! It's as bad as honor killings or FGM and some group of people say, "But it's our religion." No, there's nothing religious about hurting children! Especially children who are already vulnerable. I'm already mad enough about this culture of abuse in the black community and everywhere else. It has got to stop. This guy must be dragged out and exposed for what he is and stopped!

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
I shouldn't have read this. Thank you Lord that that little girl is with you where no one can hurt her anymore. Please protect Your children... All of them.
I agree with whoever said that this makes homeschooling look bad too. |

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
When you get into this creepy concept of "defiance" or whatever it is these parenting methods claim to be responding to, you also get into situations, where, if a parent should realize they are wrong partway into "correcting" a child, they have to continue because the parenting methods don't allow them to take any input from the child as evidence they were wrong. Even reasoning from the child is to be taken as evidence the defiance is still there so nothing can stop the cycle unless the child can somehow fake repentance.
I can just imagine this child may have even tried to fake repentance at some point, but there was just no way to follow up with a correct pronunciation if she COULDN'T and the parents wouldn't take any amount of endurance on her part as evidence she couldn't from the beginning lest she "win".

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
I wonder if the Pearls are aware of this.
They teach to beat a child until he/she stops crying. These children are silenced forever. |

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
This is just so sickening and heartbreaking. When will people understand how dangerous it is to follow Pearl? I worry about children I know whose parents follow this man and his teachings.

What I want to say about those human beings who have promoted these horrid child rearing practices, I cannot in good faith say on a public forum. I don't even know how to pray for this, it makes me so angry... but I will pray nonetheless.

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
It is just unbelieveable that there are parents following them.
Those poor children. I was never a follower either. I dont know of anyone what follows them persay but I think most of the parents in my church are punitive. I cant even imagine actually going to a hardware store and buying plumbing line to beat a child. |

Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
You know, we can prosecute the Pearls here on earth, but won't stop anything. Yeah, it would give justice to those poor babies that have been abused b/c of his methods. But the truth is, Michael Pearl has to face God one day. And he's going to get to heaven and say "Look, I did what you wanted me to do! I saved children's souls" and God is going to say "NO, you did not. That was not my work. That was horrible. Sorry. goodbye".
That's how I look at it anyway. |
