I know of an Assembly of God minister who "spanked" his wife in front of their children when she was out of line. But he's a kook. I've never encountered anyone in our organization who openly believes or teaches something like that. I thought you were implying that you had encountered someone who teaches it, like the Islamic Dr. Phil.
Some people are abusive and stupid in private, but they don't instruct others in their stupidity publicly.
