Its getting rough out there.

The thing that makes me the maddest isn't necessarily the social workers (that is their job) but the nosey neighbors and teachers that feel its their job to turn people in at the slightest provocation.

Mind your own business people! Unless you see black eyes or bruised up backs, its none of your concern!

They also failed to mention....was this one of his own teachers in his own school? If so, its possible she had something against this pastor and wanted to get back with him.

Unfair that you can just ruin somebody's life with a phone call.

More and more aspects involving obeying the Word of God are being declared illegal or are being treated as such.

If one corrects their children biblically, they can be arrested, jailed, have their children taken away, or in our case, be forced to take "anger management classes" and be "monitored" by the child services social workers for a year.

HOw is this any different than the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany? All a neighbor had to do was report any slight wrong doing to the local authorities and the Jew would be roundde up in the middle of the night and sent off to a concentration camp never to be seen or heard from again. School teachers in Pubic Schools are the MOST anti-God and Anti-Christian liberals that ever walked the earth! I ought to know becuase I used to be a teacher - and once I was in the system I was very much pressured to become a member of the "Borg Collective" and because I would not go along with them, I was thoroughly ostracized.

It is only a matter of time before any of us can be hauled away and locked up for no good reason - forgetting to use your seatbelt, rightfully disciplining n unruly child, and so forth. John your situation with your child is becoming more and more common place and the situation is only going to get worse. It is a way for the state to turn children against their parents.

I always find it SO ironic...when we go out to eat, we often get compliments on our "well behaved children". Ok so they aren't always well behaved LOL but at least in public they know to be respectful and at a restaurant they sit and eat.

Its so interesting that the same people who are in awe of well behaved kids would probably turn you in if they knew you actually punished your child for being bad!

Barnett is a pastor at Lighthouse Family Ministries in Poynette, Wis. A father of nine children, he founded Guardian Christian Academy.


Was this implying the child went to their Christian Church school or did he actually attend public school as someone suggested? It is a sad thing that I've heard two stories in recent years about church families (from 2 different churches) having trouble with Soc. Services.....both were from fellow church members "turning them in", both lost their kids at least temporarily, and both was just over the spanking issue. Scary.......

This reminds me of what the lead child investigator told me. He said that he didn't believe I was an immediate threat to my oldest son (what's that really mean, he thinks I might have a plan to beat him on 11-11-2011 or something :roll ), and he then stated I'm obviously not a bad parent because our children are polite, well adjusted and have never been known to be a problem by anyone who has encountered them. (yet he still says he believes our oldest sons false charges, placed us under one year supervision and said I had to take anger management classes even though no one has ever even insinuated I have an anger problem :bonk: )

Well, I wonder if any of that could be said if I coddled them the way these social workers seem to think I should?

Of course, when spoiled children go out and get into trouble, they come and blame the parents for not controlling their children! :uuhm:

Its going just like the Bible said it would.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Peter 4:16 (KJV)

The trouble is we've had it so easy, we're spoiled, now that some of are starting to sufferer from doing right it scares us to death and we can't stand it.

Just think how much suffering Peter, Paul and some of the others endured.

But that said, if it gets even worse, which I believe it will, what will we do, will we march forward doing what is right in the sight of God knowing we will suffer for it, or will we stop doing things God's way to keep from suffering for God's sake?

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:29 (KJV)

We know what choice Peter made, we know what the right choice is.

There are many within the church today who, out of fear, won't spank their children, won't speak openly about certain politically incorrect subjects (homosexuality IS a sin; women are NOT to be preachers; abortion IS murder; etc.).

True, full fledged persecution has not yet begun and already Christians are running and hiding in fear.

Also, as I've posted previously, I've noticed a large increase in children from Christian families going bad and often bringing harm and evil upon their families. Scripture warns of this as well, telling us that in later times children will be disobedient to parents and that children will turn against their parents.

True John, will may parents go along with the world, perhaps thinking I've got to do what is best for my children, its best for my children for me to mind the world instead of God.

That is if I mind the world them I want have to worry about losing my children.

I might add, certain children will use all the ropes to get their way with no regard what so ever for their parents.

For their are many children as well as parents who lack that natural affection for one another.

Poor fellow. Our country is so upside down now. Good is evil and evil is good. Being a teacher is hard enough without putting on them the responsibility of turning in suspected abuse. Did you know that if the teacher were found out to have known about this but didn't report it, she would be charged? "Professionals" like teachers, doctors, etc., who know about supposed abuse (or even suspect it) are required to report it.

Don't get me wrong - as a teacher I never did, nor would I ever, report something like that. Number one, it isn't abuse. Number two, it isn't my business. Now, if the kid came to school with constant bruises or broken bones, I might inquire...but not just for a spanking...and not for bruises on the bottom, either. That happens, and they heal.

If the teacher did not hear or see anything other than "My brother got spanked" then it is NOT suspected abuse, nor required to be turned in for that.

The law is not specific...it only says if you suspect abuse. Anyone who suspects abuse from well dressed, well behaved kids (especially PKs) who mention a spanking have too much time on their hands.

Actually, though, it is. If it went to court and it was found out that the teacher had been informed (even though it might be considered hearsay) she could get in trouble.

I think it's more than too much time on their hands...I think it's proof that our teachers have been socilized!! (as in - trained to be good socialists!)
