“The Woodshed and the Hickory Stick”

4:00-4:50
“What about the schools? I don’t believe in public education, but if you’re gonna have public education at least keep order. But their keeping order by drugs. That’s not how to keep order…Our churches are filled with psychobabble…the word of God is our foundation…”

14:45-15:30
“…they began to relax somewhat, especially the mothers, and the mothers began to come home, praise God they began to come home, but they began to read these magazines where the ‘experts’ invaded America and the mother said, ‘we’re not supposed to whip our children, that’s what it says right here, Dr. so and so says we’re not supposed to do that anymore.’ And you had a great conflict between the old school father and now the new mothering America that was getting her information not from grandmother and from grandpa but from Carl Rogers and the new sociologists and she began to be deceived by these things…”

16:45-16:50
“We don’t need their new light. Their new light is corruption of the devil.” (speaking of psychologists)

20:30-21:50
“How can we fix it. The title of my message is the Woodshed and the Hickory Swithch. I say we just go back. I want you to listen right now. People are going to say it’s dangerous to go back. I’m going to say something here tonight, publicly on tape. It is my religious belief that I am to chastise my child and I cannot alter my religion. And if you come and tell me to alter my religion, you are now breaking the constitution, God’s law and God forbid, but it might be that some Christians in America are going to have to pray.”

27:00-27:15
“If your child doesn’t obey you in the slightest thing, they need a whippin’”

28:45-29:10
“Most fundamentalist Christians agree that a bad boy needs a whippin’, but the child’s never bad enough to deserve, not ever. I believe there’s an effeminate spoiling of the children.”

29:50-30:10
[mom stating to disobedient boy] “Wait til daddy gets home he swings a lot harder.”

31:00-31:20
Proverbs 23 says withhold not correction from the child for if thou BEATEST him [screaming] this is what God means by correction when he says correct thy son and he will give thee rest. He says withhold not correction from the child for if thou beatest him with a rod, that’s an older child I bet, he shall not die, thou shalt beat him with a rod and shalt deliver his soul from Hell.”

32:50-33:10
“Seat belts save lives so belt them in the seat.”

33:20-33:55
"My teenagers all received whippings right on up until their senior year when it was needed. They respected us for whippings and later wrote us and told us they appreciated us that we brought them up with discipline. There’s a psychological idea that once a child’s 10 he no longer needs a whippin’. It’s bologna is what it is."

37:20-38:35
“When you’re getting up to 13, 14, and 15 you’re running out of years, man. You better get a swinging as quick as you can. Deutoronomy talks about whipping an older son. It says if a man has a wicked and rebellious son and will not heed the voice of his mother… it says they whipped him and they did good to whip him and then they stone him with stones. Under church rule today you don’t do that, but God has never abolished the chastening of your teenage boy or girl. That’s never been abolished…”

39:00-39:30
“[speaking of beating you son]…I’m not saying to lose your mind, but I’m saying you ought to take care of his [sons] business…”

45:00-45:45
“Son now don’t you ever, ever, talk to me, your father, in such a way to act like you’re smarter than me. Now I’m gonna bust your behind right now. And then I’m gonna give you a hug and don’t you ever do that again, do you understand that? ‘yes, sir, daddy’ Now you didn’t say ‘yes sir’ quick enough. Now I’m gonna bust your behind again, yes sir? ‘yes sir, daddy.’ Now I love you. It’s over. No more smart mouth. No more eye rolling….”

47:00-49:00
“I’ll tell you this, if by the time a child is a year old and you can’t say ‘no’ and he stops and you can’t say don’t touch that and make it stick…it’s possible at a year old to make a child mind… if you did it like my daddy did you might get better results. Listen, my daddy whipped you until you cried, then whipped you again until you stopped crying and I firmly believe in that… A woman came up to Bob Jones Sr. and said Dr. Bob will you pray for my 14 year old boy who is already drinking and cussing? Dr. Bob says, ‘No maam, I will not… Why should I waste my time praying for a thing you could fix in 10 or 15 minutes with a stitch if you really meant business.’…”
