Pastor Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison For Teaching That Parents Should Spank Their Children,
Actually that is incorrect. The Pastor was sentenced for multiple counts of child abuse, which is a crime even for a pastor.
No you are incorrect. He didn't spank anybody. He advised his congregation to use either a wooden spoon or a dowel to spank their children and since some of them apparently did, the pastor was the one who was charged. The parents who may have "abused" their children were given immunity to testify against the pastor.
The Bible teaches that to spare the rod is to spoil the child. Apparently if you believe that proverb or if you read it aloud in public, then you can be sent to prison.

Oh. I forgot, back in those days most children had manners and obeyed the rules and laws. Now-days, without any discipline they don’t...just get “time outs.”
