Thank you for not discussing the outside world
A true fundie must shield their children from all that is secular, wordly. Fundies are notorious for living a life of exclusion. After all, they can not properly brainwash if they are exposed to differing points of view. I often think of all the little pleasures given up for fundamentalism. Organized sports for one thing. Fundie logic usually deems total separation; Sports take away your focus from god. Therefore little Junior does not even have an option to hang out with their peers. On the fundie-lite side, sports are allowed as long as there has been a careful, calculated ploy to reduce exposure. This means only approved playmates in a god-filled environment. Go Team!

yes - this is why the option of home-school is such a 'blessing'! ^_- my parents didn't think of this on their own, but thanks to the influence of a family from a church with a youth group less corrupted by sin than our own (after i left home to dishonor my parents and do premarital sexual stuff with my boyfriend, they officially made the switch), they were able to pull me out right before i would have started high-school!
ReplyDeleteclose call, right? too bad i fell in love with the love with the dark side anyway. :( for this they blame the early years of public schooling and a worldly church, not "alive with the true spirit of christ". if they had it to do over, they would have "home-schooled from the start" and joined one of those churches that encouraged homeschooling where the women always wear dresses and never cut their hair. would you know anything about those?? -_^
Hey Tai! Thanks for commenting!! I'm guessing it was quite a switch to finish high school at home. Hope you weren't isolated too much. Did you ever get to do any social activities with your old friends? Sports, games, prom, etc.?
