The federal government is suing everybody in an area south of Gallup And adjacent to the Zuni reservation over water rights on behalf of the Zunis.

Please do research on CPS and what they are all about before you ever consider turning anyone in to them. Remember we ALL will answer to God the Anasts and you included.

So why didn't she get any of the proceeds from that book? It has sold a lot of copies. For successful "tax paying" citizens her father claims to have raised, it doesn't sound like they are doing well enough to pay any taxes. Not to mention the fact they have some water right issue with the Indiana. That doesn't sound like responsible citizenry to me. Why aren't her parents helping? Since they hand picked this husband...<br /><br />Relying on God to help you is one thing. Not working or even looking for work is something entirely different. God does expect you to help yourself and work. I've noticed the family seems to pick and choose what in the Bible they care about and what they choose to ignore. <br /><br />Her husband is choosing not to work because he "thinks" God has told him not to work and just to study the Bible. Well, I guess he doesn't realize that even the disciples worked by fishing, even after they were called to be Jesus's disciples... <br /><br />Why would she be jealous of a 6 year old daughter?

Your mind needs to be cleared up a little. Also please read "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that might really help your judgment. I wonder where do you find time to go and pour dirt on others. Bible says: "...wives must be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things" and ... be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers,... teachers of good things" What you write is definitely not holy. Maybe you should read "Created to be his helpmeet". If we only minded our own business life would be so much better.

Not to mention, that today us christians are spoiled. Did you not know that in the beginning everyone was without electricity, without water.Why weren't some of you spoiled brats in foster care, or your generation before you. Even when I was young I had to carry water, go to an outhouse, and no one came to my house to take me away from my mom, It didn't hurt me, and today I enjoy my indoor plumbing, but I am more thankful for it. We made do, like our grand parents. We delivered babies, and none of us were taken to a hospital. Why don't you spend time doing your own research of your own history of your own family. Ask your parents how it was growing up, ask your grandparents, ask their grandparents, and then see that we are All not much different than Rebekah. Also, please ask them about how much more thankful they were than you all are now, having everything handed to you, going to a full fridge, and still standing there thinking you have nothing, or cry because your heat pump went out and your breaking a little sweat. Better yet, your plumbing gets clogged, and you have to run to the store to potty, because you can't go outdoors. Come on people get real, we choose our life, God is still good, he still answers prayers, and stop acting like a bunch of pharisees when we could be edifying, encouraging. As far as cooking for daddy. God bless her for teaching her daughter that. So many women today, act butch, and end up alone, and no one to spend their life with. They are bitter, angry, because they have to work, have a career, and then they wonder why their children don't want to be apart of their life. What happened to soft, sweet innocent loving lady like fairy tale women? All you women if you searched your hearts, deep down,you are lacking, missing that fairy tale. If you are not willing to at least try some of the things they write about and learn from them and experience the joy their teachings give, then be quiet and move to another site you agree with. I have personally experienced the joy and the love from marriage to child TRAINING NOT BEATING, REVERENCE NOT SLAVERY!! Read and apply in your life, and cast the mote out of your eye before you cast them out of your brother or sister's eye. I am tired of all the people that have tried to trash not just this family, but my Savior's name. Unless you have experienced any of this in your life, and you haven't tried what they write, and applied it for at least a week or month, you need to be still and listen to God. He is a small still voice that you are not listening too. God bless ALL of the PEARL'S!!!

I know a lot of people who go on the road for months or years at a time, living without electricity, or "the comforts of home" and the world calls it an adventure. Most of the world lives without electricity. If you traveled at all you would not be so quick to call the Anasts life abusive.

You can't even compare them to an uncommitted couple.<br /><br />Surely it does not make you feel better to say that?! You must have more understanding than you appear to have.<br /><br />The letter certainly would be a non-issue to people who have the same values. We personally know families who go through seasons of trusting God for their income. What a lesson for the kids! Rebekah knows how to make much out of little, sounds like to me. They will be fine.<br /><br />I'm just starting to realize that you are on a mission to defame this family. I understand if you think they are responsible for promoting child abuse. I hope you learn the truth soon!

This isn't a man who can't find a job, this is a man who is CHOOSING to not work and let his family go without. Even during the Great Depression a man such as him would have been looked down upon. Apparently Gabe Anast hasn't gotten to I Tim. 5:8 or 2 Thessalonians 3:10 in his "studies" yet. <br />What are they showing and giving their children that is so good? They aren't married, so they must be teaching them that living together before marriage is okay. He doesn't work or support his family, so they are teaching that it is okay that a man be lazy while his family struggles to survive. She doesn't even get to have time to study the word and pray by herself, so it must be okay to put your husband's needs before God. I haven't seen them teach anything that is worth commending. <br />Great job Deb on exposing these people for who they really are.Morticianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158319644369314276.post-2124907384881983372010-04-06T01:08:17.271-04:002010-04-06T01:08:17.271-04:00John, I will remark on your comment later.
