A New Site For Reform In Fundamentalism

[sword]

Hi, I've created this site to raise awareness about three issues in fundamentalism and I need all of the help that I can get.

You can read my explanation for why here:

and

How is the project going?

How many members do you have so far?

I've got some positive feedback but not a lot of "pledgers".  I just started last week so it's too early to tell.

It’s going to be tough going I would guess.
I know some folk who were asked to leave their church for pointing out inconsistancies  & for for suggesting some opportunities for improvement. Their ideas were directed to the leadership, not the members, but they were still branded for having a “critical spirit”, “sowing discord”, “touch not Gods anointed” and all that.
I suspect, unless you are pointing out the flaws in another camps tent, you are not likely to get any of the old guard IFB leadership buying in.
Most of the attempts to correct past mistakes seems to be coming from the much younger “new” pastors.
Best of luck on your efforts

Only it wasn't IFB. This problem definitely isn't an exclusive IFB one.
