For well over a year we’ve been running a second Answering ‘Preparing To Be A Help Meet’ on Sundays, filled with questions by young ladies trying to get ready for marriage. Since we’ve run through many of the questions on their site it’s time to shift Sundays to something else, like perhaps examining the cornucopia of probably fake emails and questions that Michael and Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy post on their website and the possibly poisonous answers they give.

This one is not an answer to a question but Mr. Pearl’s ‘advice’ he gave someone they were visiting. Original here.

This past week there was another development in the ongoing saga of the Caroline files. Since she interrupted one of our Bible studies with an inappropriate announcement of “Heretic Heretic,” she has turned two years old and is increasing in much needed discernment. The other night some of the saints were visiting her parents when, in discontentment, she started whining. Her mother said, “Caroline, you be happy and stop whining.” When Caroline continued to attempt to gain control of her mother through whining, she was taken out and lightly spanked. A few minutes after returning to the room she again sought to establish her supremacy over her mother by whining and complaining. She wanted the attention being given to the visiting adults. Again she was spanked and told to be happy. When the mother returned her to their company, Caroline sat quietly for a few minutes and then, in the German Dutch language of the Amish, announced to all, “See, Mother, I am happy now.” And she verified it with a big, sincere smile. Children who lead the family do so with a miserable frown. Children who are in subjection follow with a contented smile. Establish your authority and make your kids secure and happy.

So seeking adult attention and whining are the two biggest childhood sins in Pearl World?
