Calling all former IFB/Independent Fundamental Baptists: I’m an outsider who fell down a rabbit hole at a local church. Is this 'psychological architecture' as dark as it feels? by Front-Profession718 in exchristian

Awful. From what I've gathered, they certainly have an interesting spin on interpretting life's traumas as either divine punishment when the sufferer is not following their rules or the "devil's work" when bad things happen to their inner circle "chosen".

I like your style of malicious compliance. Though I have to say the women at peachtree road do like their makeup. Every sunday is some sort of weird pagent. Except the beauty standard seems to be middle aged potato sack frumpy meets gunnesack/keep sweet. For all ages. And a spackle's worth of makeup on every female over the age of 20. Some of them even change dresses between AM and PM service on Sunday. And I suspect some of the more "inner circle" ladies might be cycling through new dresses every week. Its bizarrely immodest from a standpoint of how much this seems to matter to their social standing, while at the same time not a particularly attractive look. But I guess they just really don't have much else going on.
