Re: VENT: Sooo someone decided I needed to be on the Pearls' Mailing List
I once recieved a sermon CD on why we should spank from a single guy who read by blog. He ended up getting married and spanking their son before he turned one

Re: VENT: Sooo someone decided I needed to be on the Pearls' Mailing List
Wow. . .
For me, this repeated intrustion and urging to abuse would cause me to tell them to silence their mouths (and actions) forever or be cut off from our lives. The Pearls promote abuse. Anyone who repeatedly tried to get me to subscribe to their methods would be out of our lives. And yes, the Pearls reject God's salvation--they think children can be saved from hell through spankings. Posted via Mobile Device |

Argh! How infuriating! Sorry they are Pearls fans and are pushing them on you! Glad you called to cancel and told NGJ what you think!

SIDENOTE/DIGRESSION: I talked to him this morning, but very general topics. He thinks my majoring in psychology is "psychobabble" and not grounded in science or Scripture for that matter. Well, guess what, dad, I'm going to a CHRISITIAN university that makes you write about psychology according to scripture. But he is supportive of what I've chosen to major in as it is truly fascinating to me.

Re: VENT: Sooo someone decided I needed to be on the Pearls' Mailing List
If it had been me, I would have taken the Pearls materials and sat down and wrote copious notes on EVERYTHING in them (this is not scriptural... see "X" scripture. This is abusive and contrary to "X" scripture, etc.) Then I would hand-deliver my copy to the person who sent it to me and tell them that I read it, I didn't agree with it, and I canceled the subscription, but they could have my copy.
For ME, already having grown up with this kind of philosophy, it helps to sit down and minutely deconstruct these kind of arguments so they are exposed for the lies they are, and then writing down what the scriptures actually DO say about those subjects. It is replacing lies with the truth. HOWEVER, I don't think this is a good idea for everyone, because those negative thoughts and images have a way of creeping into your head, even when you know they're wrong. (Garbage in, garbage out)

Re: VENT: Sooo someone decided I needed to be on the Pearls' Mailing List
Hurm. I'd explode. Even the fire would spit that out because it's so revolting.
Shame there's no such magazine as Marsipial Moms. Someone should invent it.
