    My mom smiling at everyone as we walk into church immediately after she bent me over her knee in the parking lot for saying I didn’t want to go to church.

    It just occurred to me that I’m saying the same thing as OP. We were victims of cultists.

  • The worst part of it, to me, is that the smiling isn't even a cover, or faked because she's still remembering what just happened. The child is dismissed from the mind as soon as it complies, and she's just so happy to see all the friends at church.

    The real bullies were our parents.

  • My brothers, father, and students, when I was still in secondary school. That was 15-20 years ago now. Brothers don't talk to me(one of them blocked me), one of my bullies hanged himself in the family barn, and my father still yells at me. But my mother is a saint.

    Ah, the good old days of browsing the Landover Baptist Church website.

    Where you could buy a T-shirt that reads: β€œSTONE DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN.”

    Having grown up around a lot of fundies, I'm not even remotely surprised.

    Like, the amount of fucked up shit I heard or had said to me as a kid by my very religious family, including being told at a young age that if I didn't stop touching things at the grocery store, my grandfather was going to rip of the arm and beat me to death with the bloody stump.

    Of all the times in my life, that was definitely more than one of them.

    Also, this story was repeated as nauseum over my adolescent/teen years for fuckin yucks...

    And remember, if they're whacking you with the belt and you move in reaction and they miss and hit you elsewhere on your body, it's somehow your fault.

    I dunno how I never fucking killed them.
