An IFBer exposes FICM's dangers

[Tennessee Gal]

I remember working in a Christian ministry with a lady whose children had attended Christian school their entire growing up years. This school was connected with a very legalistic Independent Baptist Church.
Her daughter was graduating from highschool and was scheduled to attend Hyles- Anderson College in the fall. The daughter was offered a job for the summer at a Baskin Robins ice cream shop. They decided she should baby sit for the summer, because she might be exposed to rock music at Baskin Robins .
I turned around and told her if her daughter at 18 years old would falter in her faith by being exposed to rock music, then she and her husband had failed.
So many of these kids, when they are on their own, either don't know how to function in the real world or they go hog wild. Oh at the time, my husband was an independent Baptist pastor. Thank God we left that group of Baptist and went on and faithfully served in the pastorial ministry for an additional 24 years before my husband's home going .
It is sick to think an adult single Christian woman who is on her own has to be under the authority of her father or church.
