    1. Dr. Jezebel, clearly you are in need of help. When I read your post as an acrostic and I saw “Arf-Aid”

       So one of the following can be determined:

       A) You must need help with your dog….\
       B) ARF=A Raving Fundamentalist, and you’re a recovering fundamentalist.

       That is my diagnosis. Free of charge.

       1. I’ll take “The Rapist” for $500.. Um, I believe that is “Therapist”> 😉

13. Ok. Somebody stop me. I’m enjoying this thread too much…last one. For now…

    For the sake of the ministry.

22. There’s blood on Ian Paisley’s hands.

    1. BJU’s association with Ian Paisley was my first clue that BJU was crazy.

    2. Paisley would be considered a “Compromiser” by many IFB Fundies

23. Hey! (tap, tap, tap on the pulpit) Are you listening to me!

25. Upon consulting a random word generator I was presented with this:

    tie
    prison
    verse
    applause
    dictionary
    cult

    I’d say the random word generator knows what it’s talking about…

    1. Wow! Those words were strangely applicable!

       I tried it and got the following:

34. Deceived, distressed, diabolical, disallusioned, departed, delivered 😛

    1. *disillusioned* I went to HAC so I obviously can’t spell

       1. You may not win at spelling, but you sure can alliterate!

35. Words claimed grace but legalism ruled

    1. Or

       “Speaks of grace but demands performance”

       1. That’s what’s maddening to me, especially when it’s done with a straight face. Preaching the gospel is more that mere words.

40. Reading through these posts is an enlightening exposition about the pain caused by religious abuse and manipulation. I’m currently reading Lawrence Wright’s excellent book, “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief.” The parallels between the cold, calculated ways of L. Ron Hubbard remind me of the mind manipulation techniques used in some IFB circles.

    1. I read that book soon after it came out. I found it quite illuminating about how people are manipulated in all kinds of groups, religious and otherwise.

41. I’m posting this here only because my phone won’t let me access the contact page and I figure more people will see it here anyway….I am just wondering if there was any inside information, for lack of a better term, on this recent murder/suicide at WCBC?? It just doesn’t add up and I can’t seem to find the article that was written on here a few days ago. Something smells fundy.

    1. Is this it?
       http://biblemadness.com/2014/01/23/lancaster-baptist-church-sunday-school-teacher-commits-drive-by-suicide/

       1. Yes, I was able to find the news link as well but I just think there is more to the story. :-/

    2. If that is the murder-suicide you’re asking about, this article has more detail, and the comments section is full of “insider information”, but as always, comments may or may not be true.

42. Cognitive dissonance, missed opportunities, permanent scars.

    1. That sums things up for you?
       Sorry for the bad math joke.

       1. Note to self. Found another bad math joke. Must add to my collection.

43. We don’t need no stinkin’ accreditation.
    We don’t need no stinkin’ Greek/Hebrew.

44. Conditioned to be “God’s Elite.” Bollocks.

    1. Night of the burnt-out dead

    2. Always tired. Never enough. No joy.

45. make MOG happy at all costs

46. God as an Abusive Father Figure.

47. The quality of mercy is strain’d.

    1. Can’t resist this Michelle Shocked song:

       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u4dmbu1jlE

       1. “Embedding disabled by request.” 👿
          Click “Watch on YouTube” to hear the song.

          1. Excellent find! I had no idea anyone sang that! In retrospect that seems an obv choice for possibly multiple people to have based a song on.

48. Sell my soul to feel wanted

49. Regretfully, I did it their way.

50. It’s hard to narrow it down to six words. So I’ll do six phrases that are six words each. (I’m sure there’s something in the KJV 1611 that makes those numbers significant)…

    1) Your last church got it wrong.

    2) We have the only right way.

    3) Disagree with us, disagree with God.

    4) We are abusive but not compromising.

    5) God loves legalistic people the most.

    And finally…

    6) God hates you, so do we.
