Hitting a small child shows might is right,So the child hits siblings to get own way. Breaking a childs will is a disgraceful loss of an adults self-control. Im glad ,in a way, we can come forward now, but also we can try to raise the next generation in love and understanding,i hope.

Eric, you have got to see Marjoe! I am always recommending this movie to people in the deconstruction space. You’ll hear a baby doing preacher voice. He was trained by his abusive parents to be a child preacher and they have recordings of a 4 year old doing a wedding ceremony, etc. He trains the crew how to interact with the church members and tells them what to expect from the preachers. He talks about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. It’s an incredible documentary, one of the first of its kind, it’s right up your alley.

Wow! Can't believe I finally found people with a similar background to me! Thanks guys for sharing your stories. Ex IFB ,by way of People's Baptist Church in Mansfield Ohio. CW Fisk, associate at First Baptist of Hammond was pastor. CW Fisk split the church because he was sleeping with a lady from another church while his wife lie suffering with cancer. They married and she wanted $$$$$ home improvements, etc.....life went on. Thanks again. I have stories 😂

Whoa, I left the church CW was attending just last year. We were in the IFB for 2.5 years and it was crazy. We started putting two and two together a year before we left. I would interested to hear your stories in order to try and finish painting the hyles/Fisk picture

Being raised fundamentalist Baptist has been so negative in my life. My counselor asked me to think about how my background and my parents affect my adult life. My first thought was not knowing how to make true friends. I am learning to say no. Long ways to go.

Eric, Abeka was excellent in English fundamentals. Other than that, all I got out of the education was how to balance my checkbook. My real education started in my late 20s when I tried to argue young earth creationism with an actual scientist. I discovered an entire world that had been hidden from me. Needless to say I felt cheated. Thankfully, I have left all that behind while still being able to maintain my faith. I never bought into the IFB even though I was raised in it. I think that helped me to discern between what the scriptures actually say compared to what I was told they said. I never stopped questioning and if it was illogical to me I didn’t believe it. Not that it didn’t affect me negatively. It took me 4 years of therapy to work through my upbringing and deal with my unspoken belief system. And there are generations of people going through the same thing. Love what you do and the light you bring to this incredible darkness. If there is a negative it is the fact that fundamentalism has completely destroyed your faith; but, hey, it’s your journey. Please don’t stop.

most siblings play fight/wrestle with each other growing up weather they are spanked by parents or not. my parents didn't spank myself and younger brother because both had grown up in strict discipline households though my mums was a bit more strict due to grandpa being a Boston police detective and later a detective sergeant who used to use his gun belt to discipline her and her older brother when they got in trouble

I love this episode! I feel seen. The main church we went to when I was a kid was SBC, but the homeschool group that met at another church was entirely led by IBLP members. Our own church had staff members who went to IFB seminary and/or had previously served at IFB churches. Our lead pastor preached the umbrella diagram from the pulpit. My mom absolutely denies any involvement in anything "fundamentalist," even though she was in this environment every time the doors opened. She even attended summer state wide conferences every year, and she would borrow tons of cassette tapes of conferences she couldn't attend in person. She thought Micheal and Debbie Pearl were the best parenting experts of all time. My mom wouldn't allow star wars because of the force. Harry potter was obviously a no no. She even tried to take the chronicles of Narnia from me because her friend freaked out that she let me read a book with a witch in it. I am the kid my family who left. I am the one who was not broken. After years of therapy and healing, I can say that I have grieved the loss of who I wish my parents were, but I'm not upset that I don't have a relationship with them now. I have my kids to protect. This ideology is so dangerous. I don't want to see it disappear quietly. I want to see it dismantled.

I'd like to see you do an episode of " the transformed wife", lori Alexander. She teaches women submission to their husband, don't work outside the home, she doesn't even think women should vote!

She is a Michael Pearl disciple. She is ridiculous.....even for most Christian women who love the Lord. She even teaches that widows with young children are not to work outside of the home. She acts like a woman working is equal to murder. A video on her would be awesome.

Also a nerd and thats how i got out. I was allowed CS lewis but had to read the Hobbit for school and Tolkien became my greatest life line. It gave me a space to question and explore because "middle earth isnt real". Its more real than you realize

I couldn't watch Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Care Bears, Scooby Doo, etc. 😂 I watched The Wizard of Oz after I got married, and I could not help but laugh that they thought that was bad. It's unbelievable the restrictions these groups have. I believe in protecting my kids, but from what? A tin man and a girl having a funny dream? I think not.
