[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 547424, member: 1967"] They don't get a chance to be difficult child's. They have no contact with anyone other than their families or other families that think just like them. There is no chance for exposure to drugs or unsavory friends. They are homeschooled to limit exposure to the outside world and the Internet access is severely restricted and monitored. They are not allowed to have their own opinions on anything and always have a sibling with them to chaperone. Their "servant hearts" are drilled (and in some cases beaten) into them at early ages. I have done a lot of research on the fundamentalist culture and have been shocked at what I have learned. None of this is shown on Nineteen Kids and Counting since it would turn off the mainstream audience.There are websites dedicated to the Duggars and other fundamentalist families that have exposed all of this. Google Blanket Training and Michael Pearl. Blanket training involves putting an infant on a blanket and holding out a toy and then swatting the infant's hand when he/she reaches for the toy. You continue to do this until the infant learns not to move off the blanket. Michael Pearl is a Christian fundamentalist pastor, missionary, evangelist and book author. He is best known for his controversial book, written with his wife Debi Pearl, entitled To Train Up A Child. In the book, Pearl advocates beating children with a plumbing line. Michelle has admitted to Blanket Training and there used to be a link to the Pearl book on the Duggar website before they got the TLC show. When I first started watching the show, I used to marvel at how well behaved the children were. Now it seems much more sinister to me. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
