An observation on the writings of Michael Pearl

Sometimes the act of writing reveals more about the writer than he intended.

Are you planning on adding anything to this series?

[TheMudbrooker]

@travlr3000x Yes, I plan on doing a critique of the CNN story about Michael Pearl in the next day or two.

For some reason, I think he left quite a bit out of that story. If it is based on an actual occurrence, I'm willing to bet there were many more spankings with several applied to the buttocks. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Will we EVER get parents to understand that they do NOT own their children!?

[TheMudbrooker]

@debbieomi Yeah, I think there were quite a few more "forceful blows" than what he mentioned in the story. The girl in the story wasn't even his child, other than the parents the only person allowed to use corporal punishment on a child is a school administrator with a signed waiver from the parents. What Pearl did is assault and battery in any jusidiction in the U.S.

@TheMudbrooker

Wait... It is legal in the USA to beat your children?

I'm really really honestly shocked. Isn't the US supposed to be a civilised state?

You really need to change your laws to cath up to the 21st century.

[TheMudbrooker]

@MARI0LAND Yep, it's legal to do anything to your kids short of drawing blood or leaving marks which last more than a couple hours.

[TheMudbrooker]

@Elenkhos Pearl's interest isn't in raising mentally sound, well adjusted children, he wants to create the next generation of sheep for preachers like himself to exploit. The man is a parasite making sure him and his ilk will always have a host.

[mrlandby]

I like it.

Given this definition, Judaism, Christianity (and moreso Islam) are rape fantasies of epic and eternal proportions, written from the POV of the victim.

The more I think about it, the analogy fits. It really is pathological and deeply disturbing.

Thank you for bravely exposing this sick man. We live in a very sad world, but it is up to each one of us to continue to show love to one another. Now, having said that, I think it might be time to show Michael Pearl a little "tough love." Your thoughts?

[iviewer100]

Can I have this guy's house address or even the police station nearest to him because I want to report this paediphilic literature

[SorentoSprite]

Thank you for putting into words and video what I couldn't quite lay my finger on regarding Michael Pearl. I first saw him on a CNN special and have been avidly trying to found out WHY? Why is he allowed to continue to double-talk his way around Child Dominance By Pain masquerading as discipline. Amazon sells his books!!! How can he be stopped???

@sheri226

The parents of that child and COUNTLESS other children do leave their children with the Peal's and practice what he preaches too. They use these methods on their own children.

@AncientAtheist,

He is slippery in his presentation. If you go through his website and read the stories and the answers he gives his followers, you can find the EXACT cause of death of Hana Williams. He writes keep striking the child until you cause the child to voluntarily surrender his will, striking the small of the back is most effective, use plumbing supply line). It's all on his website. Look it up.

@prodigyat9,

The truly scary part about Michael Pearl is that he believes he is right and so do his devoted followers. The Michael Pearl followers are truly devoted to this man. Cult members usually don't realize they're in a cult.

peral is nothing but in inbred redneck

All this video does is show how YOU think, you sicko. You are the one with the depraved mind for being able to even think of such things while reading of a child's willful difiance and the appropriate consequences. You are right that a lot is revealed about an author- and you revealed a lot about yourself with this critique. Anyone who has raised children knows this true scenario all too well. You are the sicko for likening this to evil. Pearl did a great job raising kids and helping others
