Changes at NGJ
I came across this blog post by Suzanne Titkemeyer at Pathos which has some recent updates at NGJ of which I was not aware. Apparently, someone else is running it now and they are softening their image. This is important because the more they hide their abuse, the more insidious they become.
Read MoreVideo About Growing Up Under Gothard’s and Pearl’s Teachings
Kristiana Minor is interviewed by Chris Shelton in the long but very worthwhile video, Growing Up Quiverfull – The Duggar’s Destructive Cult. Because this video is over an hour long, I will provide an outline with times so you can skip to the parts you wish to watch. You can also read Kristiana’s story by…
Read MoreZsuzsanna Anderson’s Negative Review of TTUAC
When I find Pro-Spankers speaking out against the Pearl’s teachings, I like to highlight them because I am very aware that those who are convinced that the Bible teaches that they must spank will not listen to the arguments of those who do not. If you know someone who is looking into the Pearls’ teachings…

Read MoreAre the Pearls praying for the death of their enemies?
It would appear that the Pearls are facing legal problems over the damages their teachings have caused. Vyckie Garrison reports on this in an article entitled, “Evangelical couple begs God to strike critics dead over child abuse claims.” When I saw this article, was surprised. I feel that I know quite a bit about the Pearls and I…
Read MoreDebi Pearl Thinks It’s A Lie

Read MoreAlways The Woman’s Fault?

Read MoreIs Debi Pearl to Blame?

Read MoreThe Pearls’ Book NOT Banned in New Zealand (Working on Amazon)
New Zealand’s Censorship Compliance Unit has decided not to ban nor restrict Michael and Debi Pearl’s book, To Train Up A Child, according to this article in the Marlborough Press. While I don’t believe in book banning, it seems to me that if a country has that policy, this book should fall into that category…
Read MoreBook Review of “The Vision” by Debi Pearl
I have been aware for some time of Debi Pearl’s novel, The Vision, but I had not mentioned it as I had yet to find a review of it which did not appear to be a press release. That is until now. Quiver Mamma has some issues with this book and shares them in Book…
Read MoreReview of “Yell and Tell”
The Christian Post has a review of Debi Pearl’s Yell and Tell series. This is a positive review but unlike most I’ve seen, they don’t promote her other books nor link to their website. I wonder if they are aware of the controversy around them. For another opinion on the series, see TulipGirl’s review. Hers…

Read MoreThe Pearls Take On Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse
I feel obligated to post the information that the Pearls are working on a new book about protecting children from sexual abuse. Debi Pearl posted that info on her blog at http://www.debipearl.com/blogs/blog/1740302-cultivating-cautious-chicks-protecting-children-from-predators.

Read MorePreparing To Be A Help Meet
I find it odd that Yahoo News has a good review of Debi Pearl’s newest book, Preparing To Be A Help Meet. You may comment on that article there as well as on the Topix site. Yahoo did not allow me to submit my comment, probably because it was a link to this site. My…
