Anyway, this is why Pearl followers claim that he doesn't teach spanking babies when he clearly teaches switching them.
This was one of the most appalling things I have found about the Pearls, that they are hitting babies, but they say they aren't spanking because they call it something else.

I think they are probably emotionally damaged for life.
