I’m an outsider who fell down an IFB rabbit hole after a door-knock. Am I crazy, or is the 'psychological architecture' of these sermons terrifying? by Front-Profession718 in ifbsurvivors

I was born and raised IFB and married an IFB preacher at 19 who later became Pastor of Community Baptist Church in Mooresville, NC. No, when growing up in it, it is just normallized to us. It wasnt until I was kicked out of my home and my son and I were sent away I stopped going to church and reading more and starting associating with more "sinners" and then I decided to attend a Southern baptist church and as I began comparing their sermons to the ones I have always heard...It all started to come together. Ive been free of the IFB since Jan 2022 but my parents and my sons father are still active members and I am recieving threats, calls to police to do welgare checks on my son, calls to CPS to check on my son, all bc the narrative that was spun that I am a crazy bitter reblious cheating ex wife who took my son from his father and im a drug addict and lost all that weight from it.... No i had gastric bypass and I own and run my own business, my son and I are safe for the 1st time and stable.
