As far as my personal situation is concerned, I
joined 76,having lived almost continously in homes
in Germany, Thailand, Austria, Switzerland, India, Nepal & Italy until the year of 87, with the short
come back in 89, where we got for 6 month a taste
of the combos & I can honestly say, that I have neither personally witnessed any sexual child- minor or Teenabuse,that in response to you Miguel,
of the possibility being for years in TF without noticing any of the described horrors...
My personal explanation is similar to the one of Observer...how would you guess, what went on in the private bed- rooms...only later their was this habit of leaving them open at daytime and maybe even at night...don`t remember...
In addition to that, we should allow, that not all areas were necessarily the same...for example I
heard from my exmate, that in Bangladesh the shepherds were much tougher on her kids than elsewhere she`s been, correctionwise...I guess, some areas suffered more under rotten apples than
others...nevertheless is the shocking high amount of testimonies at movingon a proof, that the wrongdoing couldn`t have been perpetuated by just a small amount of people...
It seems to me though, that the situation worsened in the late eighties & beginnig of the nineties...
I never considered SG as easy prey for my sexual appettite...I was once put in a bedroom with a teen (15years) & it never crossed my mind to have
sex with her, although it wasn`t forbidden then in
the mid-eighties...I always thought, that once the sister gets pregnant you should stay with her, which also made me a bit hesitant about the sharing schedule...
I think the whole sharing-schedule& the whole idea of helping the Singles out is just nuts....
Sad to say we followed Berg`s explaining away the evident...meaning we took his twist & hoped, he would know better...we just paved the way for all kind of heartbreaks taking place...proving, that things were not done in "real love"...
I think he was obsessed with that idea of a perfect love, which he didn`t have himself, that was wishful thinking...
It would have been better to just stick to St. Paul, suggesting, that sex belongs into a marriage
punto e basta!
I close with one verse, if you permit (Tx):
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord Lev. 18:6
(of course the Bergians have it, that there are
here & there examples of exceptions in the OT,
where we FGs became a bit "masters" of avoiding
to acknowledge, what is the straight & narrow...
& then to top it all, we are not under the law anymore...yeah???...free to murder, to steal ???
I mean, that we bought that rubbish ..sh...t with
our tithe...what a failure..that`s where I must
confess, that I didn`t look twice, who & what is right & that`s where I think I was just too much in the routine of doing the best I knew or could, which was obviously not the very best, yet nothing
of a major criminal offense (e.g. begging for a
group without permission is also an offense in many countries, by the way)...yet I was learning
the hard way, not having the necessary Christian
upbringing to notice the rubbish earlier & that`s where I simply suspect my sinful nature, sticking
too long with the "Schweinepriester", pig-priest,
like my mother labeled Berg...
