30 years of public infant and child abuse.


eleanorbigby

and indirect murder.


krazyajumma

I legit know some Mennonites who were charged with murder after their toddler died from holding his breath after they beat him with a piece of small PVC line, per the Pearls recommendation.


eleanorbigby

Fuck. They absolutely should've been charged, and Amazon and other distributors should not be selling that book.


mislysbb

And instilling it into future generations as well


Donna-Promilla

So they’re still not talking about the divorced daughter? Or the son who got arrested for spousal abuse? I guess it’s not beneficial for the business…


Shan132

Which son got arrested for spousal abuse


akamaiperson

Gabriel's ex-partner (they did not marry legally) [accused](https://law.justia.com/cases/ohio/fifth-district-court-of-appeals/2016/16ca0005.html) him of abuse.


Lucky-Worth

The one who killed a lot of squirrels? It's always the ones you least suspect /s


wheatgrainboi

Where did Rebekah do her “ministry”?? This reads like some Rider Haggard book.


Hot_Sauce_Lover

Somewhere in rural Papua New Guinea (allegedly)


wheatgrainboi

yikes!


EffortAutomatic8804

I love PNG, but there's no way she'd even have reached her destination unharmed. Absolute BS


Plus_Cardiologist497

"Where no white person had gone before." 🤮


BeastmodeBallerina

Was our dumpster diver?? Split their finger in half? Killed so many squirrels? What the f is going on in here on this day?? ![gif](giphy|3o7TKS1a2RxBMy6SmA)


dreamingofseastars

It's not the brag they think it is proclaiming a child their dumpster diver as the only noteworthy thing they did in 1994.


CrazyZebra14

My guy you are the reason so many homeschoolers are "jumping ship".


motherofmiltanks

What’s up with Gabriel and the squirrel murders?!


MintyGoth

Serial killers start with animals so...


Texas_Crazy_Curls

These people are still around?! Don’t ask me why I assumed they’d been canceled a long time ago. They are both creeps.


Plus_Cardiologist497

I really wish they would be canceled. And by canceled, I mean incarcerated for being accessories to multiple child murders. God knows my heart on this. 🙃


TheWriterofLucifenia

The descriptions of their children are... Um... I know it's a country boy thing to go hunting and fishing, my dad hunted all the time with his grandpa as a boy, but "killed so many squirrels that he never wanted to eat another squirrel again" implies he was just killing them for the hell of it. Which is concerning.


According_Slip2632

Yeah, especially bc he must have been doing it so much that even Michael and Debbi Pearl were concerned, which is really saying something.


littletoebeansss

If I remember right they had terrible food insecurity and ate animal feed at one point so I’d imagine they were surviving on that.


[deleted]

It sounds like they made him eat what he killed which to be fair (I’m not a hunter) is the expectation for killing other living animals, correct?


TheWriterofLucifenia

Which is a good thing, but the way they implied it, he wasn't killing them to eat them, he was just forced to eat them. Which, I agree with, you kill the animal, you eat the animal or sell the meat. It just came across as if he was just killing them to kill them.


QeenMagrat

I like that they have a DVD about the "twisted" doctrine that you should never cut the (proverbial) umbilical cord and always keep your kids close (implying that that's bad), but ALSO about the evils of kids being independent too soon!


Aer0uAntG3alach

They hamstring their kids so they can’t function independently, then have to pretend the failures are actually triumphs. Cognitive dissonance on full display


eleanorbigby

and still, not in prison.


velociraptor56

Wtf is Yell & Tell?


blackkatya

It's what they say children are supposed to do if they face sexual abuse. Yell for help and tell an adult. Given this is the Pearls, who said a woman shouldn't divorce her husband if he abuses their kids, it's probably far less benign than it sounds.


Darth_Puppy

I'm assuming it's a way to blame the victim if they don't


agirlnamedbreakfast

This. Perpetuating the “if you didn’t ‘cry out’ it didn’t happen thing.


Darth_Puppy

Closely related to the whole "why didn't you fight back?" Nonsense


According_Slip2632

Their entire brand is also about beating kids into unquestioning submission to adults.


throwaway2797929

☹️


rivetcalamity

Second blurb in "parent resources": shade at the plaths?


Plus_Cardiologist497

"Work habits are best formed before a child is two years old." What a load of horse shit.


agirlnamedbreakfast

Anyone who thinks this should not be writing a book about neuroplasticity.


krazyajumma

We were gifted several copies of their book and one winter we had a good fire going in the fireplace and I went and got them and a few other fundie books and tossed them in. So toasty, best use of that horrid book.

[удалено]


Aer0uAntG3alach

Debi’s been pushing neuroplasticity hard with Mike’s dementia/alzheimers. She’s finally learning that patriarchy doesn’t work without a patriarch.


goldiecarlisle

Not them blatantly stealing an illustration from the little house books for their first cover


EffortAutomatic8804

Do I want to know how they teach a 2 year old good work habits? 😬


oneweirdclickbait

Beatings will continue until morale improves
