Dear Friends,

Well the campaign against Amazon is in full swing! Thanks to everyone
who wrote them last week, asking them to remove 4 baby-whipping books
from their website. Let's keep the pressure on!

Please call them at (800) 201-7575 within the US, or
(877) 586-3230 for Canada, or
0800 279 6629, United Kingdom.

Politely say "Please stop selling baby-whipping books. Making money by
selling books such as 'To Train Up a Child' by Pearl, 'Shepherding a
Child's Heart' by Tripp, 'What the Bible Says About Child Training' by
Fugate, and 'Child Training Tips' by Bradley is unethical and only
encourages blatant child abuse. All 4 of these books recommend hitting
infants under 1 year of age, with sticks and whips. Following the advice
in these books has resulted in serious charges of child abuse. Until you
stop selling these child abuse manuals, I will not purchase items from
Amazon."

You can also complain about these books by writing a comment in the box
at the bottom of this page (scroll down to *Comments or Examples* ):
http://www.amazon
com/gp/product/1889700134/sr=8-1/qid=1143768444/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-6927145-3455

And here is an action page set up by someone on this list (thank you!)

Also, please write a review of "What the Bible Says About Child
Training" if you haven't yet

Thank you everyone, for speaking out against these outrageous books!!

People at an ExChristian site I frequent were discussing these books
and many have written negatives these books also.

AAARRRGGHHH!! I sold this book on e-bay! I just picked it up
somewhere...a book sale or something...and re-sold it without reading
it...AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Boy, I wish I hadn't done that! Bleah. Now my
day will be ruined, thinking of what I might have caused...bleah.

Maybe someone bought it to keep it out of the hands of someone who might
just use it. I used to have a friend who would go to the used bookstores in
town and purchase all the Babywise and GKGW and Pearl books and then shred
them and put them in her compost bin! She said at least they were going to
some good now. So maybe it was someone like her who bought it. :)

Thanks for this nice thought...I can hope, I guess... I had never
read any of these books or read anything about them until this recent
incident about them. I have read excerpts from most of them now, and
I have to say, they turn my stomach. I will be on the lookout for
them now, too, and dispose of them properly.
Thanks for the encouragement...I needed it.
