James Dobson’s God is a child abuser, & so is Jerry Prevo’s
Max Blumenthal's new book Republican Gomorrah talks among other things about corporal punishment in Christianist practices of child discipline -- practices taught by Focus on the Family leader James Dobson and, at least in 1985, Anchorage Baptist Temple pastor Jerry Prevo.
No Questions, Questions (poem)
You wouldn't think Jerry Prevo would inspire poetry, wouldja? But this is the 2nd I've written b/c of him. Yikes.
