Lester Roloffs Rebekah Home for Girls Survivors-Cult-mindcon

It would be a very worthwile venture to do some research and open debate on this aspect of Roloffs life.
To any observer it would definitly appear that Lester Roloff was anti communist. But oddly enough seemed to believe enough in a socialistic setup to propound this in the cult of his compound , especially the compound in Corpus Christi. Everyone was equalized, in lifestyle, [e.g. economically, in dress, with food, etc], looking into the payroll habits of the Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises might be revealing of the Split in Roloffs mind concerning his "Platform Stance" vs. his attitude-practices regarding socialism as he needed it to be inside of his little Kingdom.
Thoughts to chew on of it are: Communism kills individuality, cults kill individuality, is not the "true American 'Spirit'" about individualty? Roloffs Split mind was Patriotic/anti-individualism all in one mind.
On one hand Roloff condemned communism, then on the other, he lived inside of a little world of his own communism in his little Roloff Kingdom, where he made all who lived in his world, live by his own personal views and standards, on clothing to wear, food to eat, and things to listen to or watch, and they all were equal, while he allowed himself to flourish as the god of the entire structure. [Not near the horrific horrors of North Korea, and thier father-leader, but of similar patterns, on a miniature level, his idealism being of the same kind of need to control and be in power.]
It is the far extreme right wing world, and it would be highly and vastly interesting to learn of his connections, if any, to John Birch Society. John Birch Society is a group of extreme right wingers; Anti-Communistic and supposedly pro-Jew. There would be some things there that would be interesting to learn more about in and of itself.
Would be an interesting debate and talk on Roloff teachings on Commmunism and his involvement in the politics of his day, and how that has shaped Texas Government. Please do bring to this open public forum any remembrances of Roloffs teachings on communism or socialism. Let us learn more of this man who has shattered so many spirits, and somehow died with a mark of christian hero upon himself.
Concerning the Culloden Georgia compound memories. If there are any survivors who recall being taken underground in the old Slave tunnels, please do not hesitate on speaking up anonymously or with identity. If these tunnels exist or if they are being used still is worthy to be investigated. We would be horrified to think that girls are still suffering hidden horrors of this type all because none has spoken up , if there are indeed tunnels or a system of tunnels.

The Furnishings in the Culloden Compound Home. Can you please elaborate and explain what type of furniture was put into the house/Antbellum house?
Like, what style,? was it "Colonial", "French", Contempory? etc.
It has been reported from one source that there is memory of some nice expensive "French style" furniture.
If there are any memories of the inside of the Antebellum house along wth the inside of the other buildings, please be descriptive. This will add the elements needed to the entire whole truth of things.
Is there any memory of the Lake there? And can you describe the Lake and the placements of the buildings? Was there a dock on the lake?
These details may seem insignificant, but they are not, as they add to the authenticity of reported flashbacks and pile up the needed stockpile of corroboration.
Also thank you Debi, for speaking up about the horrid conditions of the homeschooling that they put you girls through in the early years, i.e. the place (a barn?) and the rats. That is a clear picture of thier lowly standards on what constitues healthy environments and conditions. As we all are aware that rats carry deadly diseases. Do you know if they did anything to rid the place of rats?
Notice that as more details are brought out, that there begins to be a highlight to the Split in Roloffs mind, regarding his "Platform Stance" and actual practices. Roloff had a firm stance on health, yet, here he has been shown to be exposing young girls to deadly disease possibilities with this rat infestation.
Thank you,
Sincerly,
Snowdrip.

hi debi,
this is trish....wow, i was taken to the culloden place too. i have had memories come back of the white curtains on the windows, and of the woodfloors, i recall tht the windows were always open...cause the curtains would be blowing ni the wind...
it seems i remember an attic fan, either there or somewhere else.....
not sure
i was in Rebekah in late 1970's...and had been on a tour and was taken thru the culloden place also....
seems to my remembrance that in that texas monthly article that came on in Dec. 2001..that roloff is quoted as calling everyone in corpus a communist all because they complained of his loud speakers on thier nieghborhood street....
he was not correct, he was to my thnknig a messed up person...who was abusive, ungovernable, and boastful, proud nad arrogant, who could not tolerate anyone being different from himself...
thansk debi for writing , i am going to write stuff too...
later
Trish
