Most don’t enjoy being rat-packed, even if by church ladies. Largely a group of harmless, humorous, yet colorless dingbats here on FR. Many of whom come from tiny congregations. And the reason for that is obvious...

And how many constitutes ‘tiny’?

(It ain’t obvious to me.)

There's a great description in one of Garrison Keillor's books (he was a fine entertainer back in the days when he kept his politics under his hat) about growing up in the Church of the Brethren, and the continued fracturing of what once was a large congregation into smaller and smaller splinters as each in turn discovered heresy within its leadership.

A description I have often thought of while listening to FR's harpies lecture the rest of us on our many errors.

They also remind me of the young George III, of whose religious faith it was said that "he is ever diligent in the attention he devotes to the sins of his neighbor."
