So are the fundamentalist Baptists...I should know, as I was raised in a family of them.

Were you brainwashed? Forced to marry at 13? Made to turn over all you possesions to your minister? What kind of cult are the fundamentalist Baptists?

LOL. No, I wasn't forced to marry at 13. But...like the Taliban...we were prohibited from seeing movies, no dancing, no playing cards, no listening to pop music, no skirts which were not at least 3 inches below the knees, no wearing pants (I'm female), prayers at least 3 times at day (mealtimes), etc. In general, the same rules and regulations which you will find at Bob Jones University.

I'm not saying this was horrible way to live, and I was actually joking about it being a cult, but it is not the way I choose to live today. Even my father now sees that these lifestyle rules have little to do with faith.
