I'm kinda shy, and tend to lurk. I grew up in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which is not quite as bad as some, but still kinda fundie. I did a lot of research and questioning while in high school and college, and by the end of those, despite trying to make it all work in my head, I left Christianity.

Hi blizzard, welcome to the board! I have a friend who grew up Missouri Synod who is seriously successful academically and professionally but has had a terrible time learning to assert herself around men, and we've talked a lot about stuff I've learned from this board. I think it's a continuum, not a "bad patriarchy"/everyone else divide.

Welcome Blizzard.
I spent 10 years in a Missouri Synod Lutheran school. And also left after much thought.
I am glad you have joined us here.
