Gotta say here Sam that I worked breifly in the nursery and was at TSC, joined before Bithia. When I was in the nursery there, I did not see any babies fondled by anybody. I can't understand why they would "all" do that just around Bithia or at all for that matter. It was certainly no doctrine then. Now when you change a diaper, you do touch genitalia with diaper wipes, lotion or creams and powder. Maybe someone with a background in sexual abuse could sexualize that. I don't know. Does that mean that it never occurred? I can only tell you what I have personally witnessed. I have seen the Davidito books, I have seen the ff letters, I have seen some things happen, but that early, my experience was that I never saw that. IMO, it is very important for people to speak about their firsthand experiences, and what they are sure of as fact, otherwise, what you think you saw or heard, or if too many people speak opposite things then the exposure thing loses credibility. This does not mean I discount Bithia's story. I don't know. I just know what I saw, and I didn't see that. Not then. Also, Berg wasn't around unless secretly when I was at TSC. He was on the road with Maria. Because most people are not perpetrators by predisposition, I could not help but wonder about that story you referenced. Even during the Davidito series, people read it, but many many people did not do it. Not with kids. IMO, While there were many who did, it was their leadership environment and not the persona that determined what a person did, except for those exceptions that did exist, meaning those with a predisposition to pedophilia. Just like there are those who FFed and after the family say they just loved it. Most would not agree.
