The 2012 election was an open door for the GOP to lead America back to its roots in faith and morality, and the Republicans were AWOL, says Dr. James Dobson, founder of Family Talk and a brand new political outreach arm called Family Talk Action.
“I waited throughout the campaign for Mitt Romney to declare himself, to at least identify with the moral issues that are before us. He would not touch them,” Dobson said on a two-part radio program in which Penny Nance, head of Concerned Women for America, joined.

“SSPX or a sedevacantist”
I would have to look those terms up, so as far as I know, I am not. Just Catholic.
So once again, believe what you want, you are undoubtedly right in your own reality, as someone I know used to say.
You know, intelligent people know that the scriptures are true on many levels, and that a shepherd uses his rod to guide, not to strike or beat and that symbolism is used again and again—a caution to the literalist............
Oh he probably does mean well, you’re right, in his own self righteous way..........
love the hammer and nail thing, these shrinks ought to really get additional degrees so they can get some perspective on things.
And here you are all piling on yldstrk because she had children that were easy to raise. That’s just plain stupid. There isn’t a literal one size fits all answer that goes in every family — temperaments DIFFER between children. And... Proverbs are generalities that are true often enough to be worthy of consideration; they are not promises or literal boxes into which the whole world can be forced.
Watch those generalities. I don’t think he and Sigmund Freud would get along too well....
now now Hitech, I had one that was definitely NOT easy to raise, a lot of what I did with him was continue to wait him out, treat him lovingly and love him unconditionally as God loves us and the job is not done yet. I can only imagine what mr. quiverful would have done with this one. No it hasn’t been easy, it has at times been downright dreadful, but I prayed scripture over all of them, that they would grow in stature with God and man, and I set an example of someone who lives a virtuous life, works, worships, tithes.
In fact, Quiverfull’s argument about God loving conditionally applies better to his approach than it does to mine it seems to me.
If you reject V2 then you fit into at least one. And by excluding any literal meaning of discipline by the “rod” then you reveal yourself to be a liberal who is conforming Scripture to your doctrine.
“Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. “ (Proverbs 23:14)
“A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back. “ (Proverbs 26:3)
And which again, physical spanking is a reluctant but sometimes necessary Biblical use, and teaches a fuller real consequence to defiant disobedience than passive measures, which also have their place.
Hi Tech, I realize that dobson is a psychologist and Freud was a physician, and Freud is the bigger evil, but anyway, whatever. Here

Bang!!! Post of the month.
suit yourself danny boy
Many conservative Christian pundits across many denominations are skeptical about psychology as it is practiced today. And I think a healthy skepticism is good, especially when they start telling normal people what they ought to do. When in their specialty of helping abnormal people cope better with life, the “Christian psychologist” quite often outshines the rest.
ok
"Scuse me. Did you previous post NOT say "Until the TEA Party, or another movement of real conservatism, gains critical mass, we are stuck with working within the GOP"? That's the same thing as saying this is what we got and we do this or nothing.
The GOP-E has become both corrupt and contemptible. In 2010, we worked pretty hard to send Tea Party candidates (under the guise of being "Republicans") to the Congress. Once there, the GOP-E leadership, essentially, told them that if they didn't play ball the way the GOP-E told them, they would not get any of their legislation passed.
I don't know how that sounds to you, but that sounds like Democrat strong-arm tactics to me. And, this was Bawling Boehner telling them this.
That's NOT how conservatives are supposed to act (although it would be a positive turn of events if Bawling Boehner would address Democrats that way!). I welcome the GOP-E getting in the gutter and going mano-a-mano with the Dems like that, but NOT the people we sent to address the wimpy Republican Party.
When we ALL stop donating money to the linguini-spined, limp-wristed do-nothings in the RNC and let it die a REALLY nasty death, maybe . . . . . . . just MAYBE we can get a political party that represents the values of true conservatives instead of Mitt Romney moderates.
As best as I have been able to understand, V2 didn’t forbid Roman Catholics from continuing their extant practices. It opened up more options and more relaxed modes of religious practice. I’ve seen a lot of Catholics that think V2 opened up a bigger can of worms than it put to rest, and choose the older practices, but who are not in congregations that are dedicated to opposing it.
The root of psychology is godless humanism. It cannot be Christianized any more than the alter of Satan can. It claims to answer questions and solve problems that only Scripture holds answers to.
Yes, it is a usurper, and has no place in Christian life.
I know a little girl who was backed up the stairs one at a time with a spanking at each step because every time her father told her to go to bed, she said *NO!*.
So she got spanked, backed up ONE step and sat down again. It continued all the way to the top of the stairs.
It left a lasting impression on her siblings. I don't remember it at all.... :)
Unlike you, of course....
ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Praise the Lord for parents like you who love their children enough to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and according to each's "bent". I don't doubt that a large part of the problem we have in public schools with discipline and challenges to authority stems from those who bought the liberal lie that kids can raise themselves and don't need parental guidance and discipline. Like Scripture says:
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. (Hebrews 12:4-11)
what?
either you are saying I am a psychologist or I am a control freak?
suit yourself metmom, but I am neither and since ubama won I am even less in control of anything
Which is exactly what I pointed out. THERE HAS NEVER, YET, BEEN A SEPARATE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE WIN AN ELECTED OFFICE. They have ALL run as Republicans, Tea Party Republicans.
I welcome the day that the Tea Party, or some other conservative alternative, absolutely buries the GOP for good. Until that time, the two-party system is what we have to work with. And, at this time, it is the Republican and Democrat Parties.
