There is no entry for systemite. Systemite is pure and simple a family word and derogatory at that. People who attend church are referred to as "System Christians" and therefore inferior to "Family Christians" I prefer not to have family language be a part of my vocabulary at least not with any seriousness. People be they people who attend church or not are in the world. With that we who are in the world should not be of the world, in our thoughts motivations and actions, but rather our thoughts motivations, and actions should be those for the Kingdom. Each one of us has tendencies toward worldiness in one form or another, just for the fact we are human. As I have only been officially out of TF for 3-1/2 years a short time compared to most who post here, Family wors irritate me as they refer to "cultic mindsets" and the language that goes with them. It is only my opinion of course but I don't embrace TF as Christian, there may be people who are in TF who are Christians, but the entiry of TF I believe is non-Christian and a reproach to the cause of Christ. Whe I first parted ways from TF I was of the opinion they were another Christian group that I didn't agree with. Having had time to study the situation I hope for the day TF falls and the captives are free from their own "system" and see the light that Christ has for them to see. It has nothing to do with my particular church, but the church being seen as the body of Christ. I know lots of women as you described and all of them are church goers, none of them being "churchy"
