Unbelievable book!!!!

[6_Time_Momma]

This book is apparently a legitimate book available on Ebay, but the descriptions totally disgust me! Do people really think this is an appropriate way to raise children???

Be warned......some might find this disturbingly like child abuse.....I sure as heck did!!!!!

To Train Up A Child

 

[grinningghost]

That's really sick.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

Sounds scary...

 

[Toby'sFriend]

man

How is it that Social Services is not investigating those "parents" after publishing that thing?

 

[LScot]

I believe it said Social Services did investigate and a baby sitter went to jail. Wonder why they didn't?

Horrid. Sick.


Kristy, I thought a good book on children and discipline was John MacArther's book. I can't recall the name but in the title it says something about Christian parenting.

 

[Aimeedyan]

WOW.

I worry more about the handful of people that gave the book a thumbs up.

How sad.

 

[lucky_bunni]

I can't believe people actually gave this book good 5 star reviews. Makes me scarred that there are people out there like this.

Sickening

That is awful. What kind of children are they trying to raise, more Charlie Mansons?

 

[lucky_bunni]

I'm sure W will be on the train with these conservative radicals soon and they'll be a Constitutional Amendment to beat on your infants.

 

[TinkBoo&ElliesMum]

I can't imagine doing that to any of my kids, much less Amelie in a few months. That's just sick!

It never ceases to amaze me how there will always be people who misinterpret the Bible's teachings and who will constantly twist ideas and concepts to fit their own beliefs. And the saddest thing is that no amount of proof to the contrary will get them to change their opinions. All I can say is that I'm going upstairs and hug my babies then look at them in awe because they are the most precious gifts I've ever been given or ever will get.

 

[lucky_bunni]

I just wanna ask this author where in his bible it says to beat on infants??

In my opinion, this book is not a whole lot worse than the book The Strong-Willed Child by the Christian Right's darling James Dobson (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...ct_details/002-7438659-7729634?_encoding=UTF8). In that book Mr. Dobson suggests that parents beat their children with a switch when they refuse to stay in bed. As a reminder of their punishment, the switch should be placed on the child's dresser under the nightlight so they can see it. I accidentally picked this book up and was totally appalled! I sold it as quickly as I could on Amazon. I felt so guilty that I provided a book with that kind of advise to someone that I refuse to buy more copies of it even when I know I will make a profit.

Huh? I was just being sarcastic.

These are the same folks who say that since God hates divorce, if your husband physically or sexually abuses your child, you should make sure he gets sent to prison, write him LOVE letters while he is there, and accept him back with open arms when he gets back because by that time the children will be grown and out of the house.

Don't believe me? Here's a link and an excerpt:

http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/index.php?id=25&backPID=57&tt_news=10

If you or your children have been hit (other than the children being spanked) so as to leave discernable marks two hours later, and you genuinely fear that he will repeat his battering, you can take legal steps without divorcing your husband. In a moment when he is not angry, calmly inform him that the next time he physically assaults you or the kids, you are going to call the law and have him arrested. You must first resolve in your heart that you are willing to prosecute him and see him go to jail. I visit prisons every week. It is a great place to mull over the consequences of one’s deeds. And I have never met a prisoner that turned down a visit from anyone. Think about it, lady; it is a great time for writing love letters and sharing a three-minute romantic phone call once a week. Guys who get out of prison run straight home to their ladies and treat them wonderfully—for a while anyway.

If your abusing husband fully understands that you have the power of the law behind you, he will learn to keep his hands in his pockets. I am not suggesting you do this to be vindictive or to get even with him. It must be done in humility and love. If your husbands knows that you are the weaker vessel, desperately seeking your survival and that of the kids, and that you are not trying to punish him, but that you are going to stand by and continue to love him, that you are going to wait for him to get out of prison and then try to start over again, it may move his heart to fear if not to repentance. You say, he cannot help himself. Does he help himself when his peers—other men his own size—make him angry? Does he fly out of control and start hitting his boss or his employees? No? Then he has self-control when he must. The law can make it a must, which will allow you to continue with him and demonstrate your womanhood and win him to yourself and then to your God.

But if your husband has sexually molested the children, you should approach him with it. If he is willing to seek counseling and repent, then fine and good. If not, then go to the law and have him arrested. Stick by him, but testify against him in court. Have him do about 10 to 20 years, and by the time he gets out, you will have raised the kids, and you can be waiting for him with open arms of forgiveness and restitution. Will this glorify God? Forever. You ask, "What if he doesn’t repent even then?" Then you will be rewarded in heaven equal to the martyrs, and God will have something to rub in the Devil’s face. God hates divorce—always, forever, regardless, without exception.


Edit: Just making this perfectly clear: I do NOT agree with this.

Seemed like a rather bizarre comment to make about a book that has nothing to do with politics.

OK, I was thinking the same thing...who says stuff like this...

Sarcasim or not, that is just a bid odd.
