So I finally decided to be brave and quit lurking around. I stumbled upon SFL completely by accident and couldn't believe there were so many other people who had the same thoughts, questions, and raised eyebrows at IFB quirks. I think I've read pretty much everything on here by now...
My IFB story in brief is that I was saved by grace, got roped into extreme fundamentalism a few years later, finally broke away a teeny bit by going to the mission field, and later found myself in a church that leans a bit more fundy lite but is still buddies with the big shots.
I'm currently on the mission field, so getting out is going to be a long, careful process. But it is going to happen. Someday.
I'm still saved by grace and am amazed at the change that actually living like I am under grace is doing. Many of you have already been a big help to me, although unknowingly. So thanks!

Tradition - Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.
