Let me preface this by saying this is not an attack on Christianity period. 

In this episode I begin the discussion on the IFB church, their doctrine and how it can lead to a culture of abuse. This is the denomination that the ever problematic Duggars belong to. In this denomination it is an authoritarian patriarchal system. Women are second class and don’t really have a voice…no matter how much they think they might. 

This is also a denomination that practices canvassing, where they want to make sure you know just how much of a sinner you really are and try to get you “saved”. Speaking of sin they preach the doctrine of Separation(look it up on Baptistdeception.com they explain it really well) which means you don’t associate yourself with anything “worldly” meaning no music that has a beat…that’s Satans music 🙄🙄🙄… no alcohol, no tv, etc. This also gives in to the love the sinner hate the sin bullshit. This means that you can love someone who is a member of the LGBTQ community but you hate their lifestyle…which MEANS YOU HATE THEM!!!! I mean come on if a persons sexuality affects your belief there is something wrong with you not them! 

This is a denomination that can foster the culture of abuse by keeping the victim quiet and making sure the man is forgiven and never really at fault. 

This is why many people don’t want to practice Christianity and honestly I don’t blame them. If more churches would be less “spiritually superior” and more loving and inclusive like Christ many more people would want to know what Christianity is about. 

In what I hope is part 2 I will have some guests (at least one) that will join me in the discussion of why we left the “cult” and how our faith has changed and grown. 

If you want to know more about the IFB listen to the Preacher Boys Podcast there are many episodes that go into depth about the culture of abuse and how it is fostered.
