This isn't discipline, it is punishment. Not just abuse, but Pathwalker Sep 2014 #3

It truly is. Yet parents are buying this book and thinking that because they're "experts".... moriah Sep 2014 #5

All because they're totally ignorant about how a shepherd treats their sheep. Pathwalker Sep 2014 #10

May I quote you on FB? Stopping at the "any other one I know" point? moriah Sep 2014 #11

Certainly. I learned this from my cousin who's a sheep farmer. Pathwalker Sep 2014 #12

I second that. I learned it from herders too. nolabear Sep 2014 #26

How hard would you have to hit a baby to make him stop crying? LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #7

That preacher.... oh.... my Goddess.... Can I report him and his wife for abuse? moriah Sep 2014 #8

They have been reported and investigated. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #9

Good lord BlindTiresias Sep 2014 #14

Yes. They follow the one true path. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #17

Excellent article. I'm glad she got out. moriah Sep 2014 #23

The ideas that the Pearl's write about LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #24

They read "Suffer the little children" but then ignored the rest of the sentence. nt tblue37 Sep 2014 #29

And misinterpret the meaning of the word "suffer" in that instance.... moriah Sep 2014 #36

Precisely. I was using it as a pun, but I felt explaining it would defang its effect. nt tblue37 Sep 2014 #47

When was this atrocity published? 3catwoman3 Sep 2014 #15

1994. Not really that long ago. moriah Sep 2014 #21

A better title for To Train Up a Child would be Child Abuse for Dummies. Louisiana1976 Sep 2014 #18

And why is Amazon selling this abuse manual? Tumbulu Sep 2014 #19

Because bookstores and libraries are not in the censorship business. Cleita Sep 2014 #22

Yet if enough people report a book on Amazon it can be yanked. nt justiceischeap Sep 2014 #25

That's their choice but they don't have to. Cleita Sep 2014 #27

How does one report a book on Amazon? Tumbulu Sep 2014 #31

It's mostly a matter of emailing them or starting a thread in their discussion forums justiceischeap Sep 2014 #35

How does one do this? Tumbulu Sep 2014 #30

They can, like many choose not to sell porn for instance, or like no one puts real news mags Cleita Sep 2014 #33

I just looked up this books publisher...it's the authors so I doubt contacting the publisher justiceischeap Sep 2014 #37

That's better yet. So he's self-published. I think it's time for a class action law suit Cleita Sep 2014 #38

There is a link to a petition under the links in moriah's OP. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #40

Thanks! Sorry I did not see it. nt Tumbulu Sep 2014 #42

No worries! Lots of us didn't. LiberalAndProud Sep 2014 #43

bookstores and libraries still make choices SheilaT Sep 2014 #44
