I've been checking our your forum for a while now. I may not have much other than questions to add to the conversations, but I wanted to be registered in the event that I had some tidbit to contribute. I'm a 29 year old woman, born and raised in and currently attending an SBC church in South Carolina. I got interested in church politics long before some people think I should have, reading copies of The Fundamentalist Takeover when my friends were reading Nancy Drew, closely watching the Texas Bapstists saga, etc. All this did not bode well for me spritually, however. By 20, I was jaded and done with the whole thing. I've finally started coming to a relatively confident place as a Christian, but I still have very real issues with much that the SBC is about but can't find anyone around me to discuss it with without outing myself as an unsubmissive, too big for her britches woman (gasp!). Really, I'm concerned that I'll just end up wanting to chuck it all again, take my Bible and go home, so I was thrilled to find you all.
