I love the honesty of kids. He just wanted to stay home and play with his toys like every other kid but was dragged to church because his dad is the pastor. It reminds me of some neighbor TBM's growing up who had to have Christmas devotionals/scripture reading within view of their presents prior to opening them. They said it was always a long hour wait.

During the Facebook interview, Dominique Ferrell, the child’s father, added “I fired on him.” (a.k.a. — he got a spanking).


Nothing like demonstrating God's love by beating your child so he loves God.

That pastor is almost as bad as John Lithgow on Footloose.

Here is my response to the video.

“And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” ~ Ephesians 6:4

Oh and by the way Dad, that rod that you think you're not sparing was used to guide sheep, not beat the hell out of them.

You're welcome.
