The Pearl fans claim we misuse the Bible, when it is really they who are doing this. They need to study Galatians 5:22 because they are NOT showing any evidence of the fruit of the Spirit by hurling insults, harsh words, and inaccurate claims. I almost wonder if they even know God. God is LOVE! And the Glory of the Lord is on this page! I find it quite telling that the Pearl fans are very harsh and insulting while the gentle people actually display the fruit of the Spirit.

I will give you one point. Do I have to count to 10? Got me there... sort of. I don't even have to count to 3 or 1. There are no issues. My secret. Communication. I know it is a big word but take the time to learn it. If you are old enough to breed you need to be old enough to handle big words and raise a child like a parent not by reactions seen during 1st grade recess. @Crystal

Glory to God that you were able to recognize abuse, so many are somehow blinded to that. Thank you for that testimony.

The youngest just turned 18. All three are doing well, serving the Lord, and the older two love visiting our home. We are a happy family, by the grace of God alone! I remember being exposed to Debi and Michael Pearl early in our home schooling years. I liked some of what Debi had to write and grew from it. But one day I read something by Michael about potty training a young boy. The child had messed his pants and Dad took him outside and washed his bottom off with a garden hose. Something clicked inside and I thought, "That's abuse. That's not training..that's abuse." I was outraged for that child and put down the Pearls forever. The house of cards began tumbling down. My husband and I heard Lindvall at a convention. What a nutcase. Mark Hamblin was a ranter. I finished home schooling my oldest, and put my other two in Christian schools. I know some home schooling families who have finished very, very well. Others, not so well. I've known some families who have had their children in public schools with remarkable results: godly, reverent children. It is all the grace of God. And I thank Him often that He covered my Pearl stained sins against my children and that they have thrived in spite of it all. I’ve raised and home schooled three children.

I appreciate it- I feel like if I have some links to other people saying the same things it might help add credibility. Anything anyone can do to boost the signal about what the Pearls do is a good thing- maybe someone might stumble across it and change their mind about using this book. ~Lynn Thank you!

I've been writing articles on the Pearls for several months now , and I want to share some links from people who are on the same page as me. I just want to make sure it's OK, because my blog is not only about the Pearls and contains language and concepts that some people might find offensive. If you don't want to be linked because of this, that's totally fine and I completely understand. Merry Christmas! ~ Lynn "GoesKaboom" Do you mind if I link to this website on my blog?

While they have presented their view of God's supposed teaching in the Scripture, I would be delighted to enter into a Scripturally oriented discussion with them concerning their views. Unfortunately, the Bible and its complexities are just not so neat and tidy and Mr. and Mrs. Fox are suggesting. Let me know if your interested. I'll be happy to send you a copy of my which you both would be welcomed to offer me correction on. Looking forward to that opportunity.

Note closely and clearly how Mike and Trisha Fox let Deut 21:18 slip out. Here's the whole passage; the conclusion should be obvious: 18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. The only other interesting thing here is whether they consider themselves qualified to cast the first one... See,if you keep people talking long enough, they always betray their heart.

Dyck Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:43:15 +0000 http://whynottrainachild.com/?page_id=2#comment-966 I'd say by the fact that he's referring to columnists by name, that he knows exactly what he's talking about with that thinly-veiled pornographic website, which by the way, I see embraces eroticism in the wife-spanking in its clauses of beliefs. Sick. Fox, you've got some explaining to do if you want to convince folks on this site that you're not a obscene creep, and that your apparent obsession with spanking, given in such detail above, isn't some kind of freaky outburst of online exhibitionism. That's no way to use the Bible, but I'm sure the Lord'll have you straightened out on that eventually. Y'know, Linda, after this, I'm just waiting for the Pearl supporter who shows up in Monty Python garb and plays a trumpet with his rear end...
