I wish I could say I didn’t know what this was about but I can relate to almost every single one of these from the church I attended as a child/teen. So glad I escaped this ridiculous “culture.”

That was just entirely too accurate!! As a survivor-graduate of the Moody Bible Institute, lemme just say… “AMEN!” LOL

Your son’s #73 really cracks me up. I used to tease others when they’d say “fine n-you?” I’d ask them what they’re avoiding with such a quick desire to change the subject from “them” to “me”.
I was popular, but for the “annoying guy who doesn’t understand our ways” reasons.

I laughed so hard! This was my favorite: 11. Old Testament rules about sex, tattoos, women in pants, and the death penalty still apply. Old Testament rules about lobster don’t. (That is why we call this the Age of Grace)

My twenty-something son added these:
73. When asked in church how you are doing, thou shalt answer “Fine!” and NOTHING ELSE. Being less than fine reveals you are living in sin and will elicit appropriate judgment. Save all ailments, complaints and relational needs for prayer requests.

74. If it’s written on a book, T-shirt, CD, poster, flyer, trinket, video case, mug, ornament, or anything else inside a Christian bookstore, it’s as true as if John wrote it in the Bible himself.

75. Jeans, or “Satan’s jammies,” are strictly forbidden in God’s house. Should you bring a friend who doesn’t know our customs and wears these sinful breeches, thou shalt be subject to the same shame as said friend. Just remember the rule of thumb: denim=devil.
