thank God i left fundyism when i was still young & naive enough to think it was just really awful theology. and thank God i never went to fundy college!

(come to think of it, thank God i dropped out of real college. (twice.))

now, back to making fun of patch the pirate.

wiggle worm. discuss.

However, I did appreciate the heavier posts because my sister goes to BJU. She’s deeply involved with Jim Berg and his wife. She gets counseling from him, goes to the same church with him, takes classes with his wife, and goes through his “Quieting a Noisy Soul” periodically. Because of her close involvement with them, I still have to deal with fundamentalism even though I’ve left it and I’m never going back. (As someone else has pointed out, Rand Hummel and Jim Berg are practically clones of each other.) Those few serious posts helped a lot.

On a brighter note, leaving fundyland wasn’t as hard for me because I have a huge sarcastic streak So, even when I was in, I wasn’t ever fully accepted because those people never laughed and never joked. Finding your website validated my “worldy” sense of humor and helps to feed it.
