Do fundies encourage Bible Study?

I fell down the PP and Zsu rabbit hole. (God help me!)

In the video tour of Whacko Baptist there is really just one big room with the crying room and PP's office.

Do they have "Sunday School?" Usually churches do some type of Bible Study before or after the sermon. Whacko Baptist doesn't have any room to do that. So the people are just suppose to listen to PP and leave?

The Duggar and Bates seem to just have church.

Do they discourage group Bible studies? There were pictures of Jill and Derrick doing Bible study but I'm wondering what would happen if they studied and found something they disagreed with the preachers about. Are they encouraged to do that or just find verses that back up what is in the sermon.

I hope this makes sense. It's Friday **smile** and my brain is mush and I think I may be getting sick. **frown**

I can't speak for the PP and Zsu, but the fundie-lite church I attended in my late teens/early 20s had Bible Study(along with prayer meeting)on Wednesday nights, and I believe there was a separate women's study one weekday morning.

My fundie church had bible Study clubs that ran once a week for everyone over 12. (As well as catechism classes for everyone between 12 and about 18.)

I just worked that I did at least an hour a day of organised Bible Study a day as a teenager,and that's not including the stuff I did with my family,or my personal study time,or the 3+hrs at church.

Think of all the homework that I could have done in that time....

yes, being 'in the Word daily' is encouraged. But the strange thing is that, after hearing so many sermons, reading the Bible becomes a reinforcing of the church's main beliefs. What's preached from the pulpit stands out most. The congregation is sort of brainwashed into the rhetoric.

I'm reading the Bible through this year (i have a 365 day one year Bible in KJV from back in those days) :lol:

after about 6 years of being away from church regularly. It's amazing to read it with different eyes. The Old Testament is awful. Jesus's teachings are liberal. Jesus was a liberal hippie.

It's just mind boggling that all the years before I could only see what i was told to see.

Yes, fundies are definitely pro-Bible study. Women are even allowed to lead them if everyone else is also female. (What an honor :roll: )

Unfortunately, yes. It's how they indoctrinate and program their members. The more you read and search for interpretation to match the pastor's, the farther down the rabbithole you fall. :angry-banghead:

      My sweet pup was diagnosed with a brain tumor in September. She passed away in my arms on Thanksgiving morning. It all happened so fast. She didn't want to eat anything the day before, but prior to that was ok. Knew it was near time and had booked an appointment to take her next week. However, she decided for me. She was only 8 and really was one of the best dogs. She never met a stranger, human or dog. Life isn't the same without her.

      I made my first Granny Square! After nearly 30 years of knitting and crocheting this was a project I never did. Until now! I needed something to do with my rest of very colourful yarn and now I am very happy. I need to try different needles with my yarns but I think I found something nice for the future.
      I needed only 3 different youtube videos until I found a person who explained the concept slowly and repetitive and with words I can understand. I hate when these tutorials make me feel dumb.

      Someone please remind me to buy peanut butter. Seriously, I have been meaning to get some for at least three weeks, and everytime I remember, the shops are already closed!

      You know what I hate most about subtle racism? The gaslighting. Stop cosplaying as a nice person and say it with your chest.

      We had to put our 14 year old dachshund, Trinket, down today.  She was fine Thursday, but by mid-morning yesterday, it was apparent that something was really wrong,  She had zero energy, lost her appetite and began walking into corners.  By morning I knew it was time for her to have her final visit to the vet.  She had lost about a pound and a half recently.  RIP, Trinket!

      Horrific! A 6 year old boy was murdered, and mother severly injured, in a hate crime in Chicago. Reports say they are both Palestinian Muslims and were specifically targeted because of that. Thankfully the man who did it is in custody 
      This is pure evil
