Which is doubly sad because of their family of God doctrine where they hold up the human family as the pinnacle of creation. And because those kids are the onky chance in hell they have of attracting new members.<br /><br />Visited a baptist church for the first time last weekend. Kids went to something geared for them, I got to listen, everybody was happy. Should have tried that years ago.

These people have totally separated themselves from the types of specialists who could make proper diagnosis and be of genuine help. They only know one way to deal with a disruptive child, and that is the word no, accompanied by repetitive spankings until the child's spirit has been broken. Good luck on that with Asperger's!<br /><br />There is a really good chance that any number of their kids is ADHD, and they have no way of knowing.<br /><br />Oops, forgot!

I can't believe that they still promote this disgusting filthy book. That alone shows how sick PCG is.”<br /><br />. . . And talk about HYPOCRISY! The booklet quoted was written by Garner Ted, whom they otherwise would put forth as someone who was ALL WRONG; whom they’d point to proudly, saying, “We were NEVER like him!” The booklet must have some sort of stature in their minds because it comes from that time when everyone supposedly was “in agreement” about everything – a time only existent in some people’s imaginations. <br /><br />Thank you, again, God, I’m now on the OUTSIDE of this looking in. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-51954863953580292962013-07-15T07:10:17.899-07:002013-07-15T07:10:17.899-07:00I remember witnessing one PCG parent who reenacted...I remember witnessing one PCG parent who reenacted the 'trick of quieting a baby' scene from HWA's autobiography, by placing his "fountain pen" in the hands of his infant daughter. Talk about mind distractions, I still have flashbacks of fools, and nightmares of babies ramming ink pens up their tiny nostrils, and poking their eyes out. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-88031670395039698812013-07-14T22:40:32.683-07:002013-07-14T22:40:32.683-07:00Until Joel behaves in church, I won't make the...Until Joel behaves in church, I won't make the kids behave either.Marge Simpsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-65785604831078459312013-07-14T20:40:09.951-07:002013-07-14T20:40:09.951-07:00For crying out loud, we're talking about child...For crying out loud, we're talking about children here, not dogs! You know, all of this wouldn't be an issue if the church simply had a Children's Church program where they might actually be taught about things that matter to children in a way they can understand! Verbally labeling everything as "no" and disciplining against going around these boundaries is absolutely and completely stupid, not to mention NEGATIVE. AGAIN! This is a child, not dog training!!!!<br /><br />Besides this, the right thing to do would be to implement a children's school program that is fun and educational for the kids, so they can, oh, I don't know, look FORWARD to going to church? maybe learn about something positive instead of hearing some dude hold the lectern and drawl on about things that he is far too young to understand, boring them out of their little minds. That's one part of Armstrongism I could never understand. They forget that 2 hours in our time is 5 hours in children time. It's ridiculous when they COULD be using the time to teach them things that they could understand instead of forcing them to stare at chairs, lights, and that dude that goes on and on and on and on and on to them. Maybe teach them about JESUS!!! (I can imagine them SHUDDERING at the mere thought!!!!! They'd rather stick to the Old Testament, I'm sure.) <br /><br />I could say far more, but this just proves to me and in my thought that they seem to be way more concerned about authority and rulership then implementing a program that could actually make church enjoyable and benefit them.

There is no way a woman could have a career, child in daycare during the day, and have time to indulge in this nonsense.<br /><br />I believe I'd rather be Amish or live on an Indian reservation rather than be part of Flurry's church. In fact, it would even be better to be Hare Krishna!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
