[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a Christian Pentecostal missionary family. You cannot imagine the anguish, guilt, confusion, embarrassment I've dealt with because of it.
It makes me sad, that my parents couldn't just want to go and help people, but would instead make it all about "saving souls,""leading them to Jesus," blah blah.
Oldest bro is a very intelligent, intellectual atheist. It's probably been at least 5 years since he's been in a church.
2nd bro was was Muslim, now a diehard Hindu. Very anti-Christian.
I don't really believe in God but interestingly married a Catholic man and like the low-key Catholic rituals, at least I don't feel pressured to say/believe anything there and kind of like the mindlessness of it all (minus the strong emotional/passionate element in charismatic Protestant circles).
Little bro is the only pretty much Christian one of us.

Anyway, it's still a struggle for me. Just knowing how hurtful my parents' "calling" has been to poor people in traditional societies who would be better helped in other ways.[/quote]
