🪡Thread: Father Rule Patriarchy

There’s a disturbing focus on the father/daughter relationship in “Father Rule Patriarchy.”

The movement itself is called “Father Rule.” Why not “Male Rule” or “Husband Rule”?

There’s a peculiar focus on the father/daughter dynamic.

Why?

“A lot of men are leaving their wives for younger women because they yearn for attention from younger women. And God gave them a daughter who can give them that.”

From the article by Christian researcher Karen Campbell:

“My second concern regarding Mr. Baucham’s statement is that there is an assumption that daughters are to give a special type of devotion to their fathers because of this alleged need. It places a responsibility...

..on a child that should never be there. I do not know any passage of Scripture that talks about children fulfilling the needs of their parents. In fact, it seems to me that Scripture teaches just the opposite, that we are to deny ourselves and follow Christ. That we are...

..to be like Jesus, and lay down our lives for others. That we are to be willing to be poured out as a sweet smelling sacrifice to the Lord. Godly family relationships happen when mothers and fathers and sons and daughters all practice the one anothering commands...

...within their homes, forgetting about themselves and their own needs.... It is so sad to me that these wonderful family relationships, true gifts from the Lord, are being turned into such convoluted, unnatural bonds. This latest offering from Mr. Baucham...

...is yet one more reason for homeschooling moms and dads to be ever vigilant and to hold all teachings up to the light of the Word of God.”

“We were given tools for what to do whenever our moms became jealous of our relationships with our dad.” (Adia Barkley, former Father Rule Patriarchy adherent)
