Dennis Leap, the often mocked best boy to Gerald Flurry, is pulling a GTA at the moment concerning proper PCG
children rearing.
The world is filled with nasty rebellious kids. It is important that you PCGers train your kids up to be obedient robots in church. Force your kids to lay on blankets at home so they can get used to laying on cold floors at church as they pick the gum of the bottom of chairs and eat it.
Teaching a child to sit or play quietly on a blanket during services
has been a tradition in God’s Church for decades. This training not only
stops noisy interruptions during services, it is also the foundational
plank for building self-discipline in children.
Today, some in God’s Church do not blanket train, which makes the teaching of self-discipline more difficult as children mature.
Blanket training is really simple. You should start blanket training
as early as when your child can sit up by himself, but definitely by the
time he can crawl. (This assumes that you have already been teaching
your child not to make noise during services.)
Notice the next part. If your child does not stay on the blanket you must discipline your child. In other words, according to McFlurryism, beat the crap out of it till it can cry no more. After two or three of these spanking sessions you child will learn to submit to your authority.
When your child attempts to move off the blanket or make noise—tell them no
once. Move the child back onto the blanket, or give them a hand-signal
(forefinger against the lips) to be quiet. When your child moves off the
blanket or makes noise a second time—you must discipline them. Continue the process until your child accepts the fact that he must remain on the blanket and be quiet. This is self-control in action.
But what if the kids is just as bored with the dumbass sermon as the parent is?
Self-control is not even a part of this scenarios. Being beat into submission is all that is being discussed here. Being submissive is the only thing PCG members can do.
You must teach your children "Come Here!" Training. Without this they will not be submissive to God, i.e. me and Gerald.
Start teaching your child to come to you when he is walking securely
on his own and you know that he understands you. If you have done
blanket training—you’ll know that your child understands you.
My wife and I generally waited until our children were about 18
months before we began “come here” training. We set aside an evening to
do this. We called them “Come Here Nights.” I’ll be honest—this is a
tough one.
Once children are up and running on their own—they do not appreciate
being interrupted from what they are doing. To command them to come to
you requires them to give up what they want to do and do what you want them to do. Children want to be their own authority. To submit to your authority requires self-discipline.
This is another vital lesson that must be learned at an early age.
Your children will find it difficult to submit to God’s authority if
they do not learn to submit to yours. Their physical and spiritual
safety depends on obedience to direct commands.
When you beat your child make sure you train it well enough that it doesn't get mad at you.
Your child should be taught not to respond to correction with anger or a bad attitude.
Both of these responses are wrong and require additional discipline and
teaching. Correction is a fact of life and, for the people of God, a
way of life! Children must learn to follow rules, directions and
instructions that are not their preference. They must have self-control
to accept correction and direction from you and other authority figures
that are sure to come into their lives.
Continue to beat your child until it smiles back at you in a good attitude.
When you discipline your child, make sure he responds with a good attitude and right behavior. Make it your goal to not finish a correction session unless
your child demonstrates a good attitude and right behavior. This
requires love, patience, strong teaching and time—a lot of time—on your
part. It will be worth all your effort. As Paul says, there will be
great rewards when you meet this goal. Your child will be more happy and
on the road to real success. Remember, positive response to correction
will help your child forever.
Dennis concludes:
Parents—go for it!
That's right. It's the Sabbath today, beat your child into submission so they can enjoy the Sabbath day as a foretaste of God's millennium where you will rule with rods of iron.
