I understand what you are saying, but the difference I see is you weren't "in the church" - - yes, it's going to happen to all sides, all walks, in church or out of church people.
However, the point I think that Sherri is trying to make is this minister's wife knows how everyone in her ex-church feels about cursing - - it would be a stumbling block for most. So, why does she feel the need to do so? Why so "in your face?"
I still feel like it's the rebelliousness in her spirit and the intentional hurt she wanted to hurl out there.
I knows many, many people that are no longer UPC and
in my opinion and experience those that were raised in stricter churches tend to rebel the hardest.
