Fundies and Hoarding?

[Innocent Lamb]

As a non-fundy who became the victim of a psycho fundy family, I have a lot of questions that maybe some veterans can help me understand. My fundy former inlaws were extraordinary hoarders. I'm talking, their house was a construction zone, and there were boxes, boards, papers, bags, and anything else you can imagine literally piled to the ceilings. You had to walk along little paths to find the furniture, and it made me almost hyperventilate and break out in hives (I'm starting to itch just thinking about it). Obviously, with this much junk, it was also not very clean. They had even weirder fundy neighbors who believed the world was coming to an end soon and had tractor trailers in their yard filled with cans and bottled water. Is this common fundy behavior, or were they a special case?? What bothered me so much was that they had SO MUCH stuff they would never use, and there are so many people who go without these things every day. As a non-fundy, I was raised to look for needs in my community and GIVE. They refused to consider giving anything away, because they might need it one day and the stuff might go to "sinners" who don't deserve it. I find this appalling. Help me understand if this is typical, or if they were nutso even for fundies.
