"Was I Spiritually Abused?", Heather, January 30, 2013
http://becomingworldly.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/was-i-spiritually-abused/
Heather's blog describes what she went through as a child in what appears to be a fundamentalism Christian family. She describes her brother getting "cured" from the flu by the laying of hands, threats of getting away from her religion and it resulting in hell, specific clothing and makeup rules, being homeschooled and removed from the outside world, and her struggle and fear of the way she was to live. It is incredibly interesting to see a personal account of someone who experienced fundamentalist thoughts and actions imposed on her in the name of religion, and where she is now.
In the subject of sociology, Heather describes how this fundamentalist Christianity shaped and formed her thoughts, and also how it affected how she viewed and interacted with those outside of her group. She describes seeing certain people as wrong in their beliefs, and she was dismissive to those who did not agree with what she was taught to believe.
