(ex-IFB, not ex-Pente, but close enough...)

Guilt ripped me apart for years. Finally, I got to the point where I decided I couldn't do anything about changing the past, changing my physical flaws, and everything else I'd been hammered with. I already figured out I was never going to be the perfect churchy-type no matter how good I was, and I'd screw it up if I tried anyway. I just gave up, and I felt better.

I'm still trying to figure out what screwed up my husband so much that he's still paralyzed by guilt even though he was neither IFBx nor Pente. I thought Texas Southern Baptists were supposed to be less crazy than other SBs and IFBs.
