You asked "exactly" what I meant by the term, Stan. I showed the difference of bearing and manners of the Gurkhas from ours, what one usually does to expand on an original tell.
The Sunday School mores where I grew up---customs essential for our church---were how to serve God by being good according to the Gospels (although I don't remember adultery as part of it).
Coming to Geo's point, it was confusing for everyone because of fierce warring between reform and hardshell Baptists, and the parson's wife, a kleptomaniac, stealing from neighbour's clotheslines.
I survived by leaving Sunday School around 12, by then knowing about adultery and the Ten Commandments as a great guide, even with little slips about adultery before marriage.
It didn't seem as bad as the southern Christian college president who told me, on camera, blacks must obey their masters, citing St. Paul's letter to Esphesians. We never heard that in our Sunday School.
